300winmag; wow, great job on snagging the official HH knife at a such a great price.

Does this mean you are going to discontinue the HH knife testing program? Those are some great reviews, ever think of doing them for 'Blade' magazine? :-)

I'm stopping with the models on hand. Now that I've seen them, I know which ones would work, and which won't. I think our new source could last us a long time, although, like I said earlier, I'd be happier if the need went away tomorrow.

There are six knives, four folders, two fixed, being laser-engraved with the HH url and "PROTO". Anybody interested in them? They WILL be one-of-a-kind.

As far as writing reviews, I'm much too blunt to write reviews of products that are advertised in the same publication. Also, what I like and don't is often 180-degrees opposed to what others feel. The Gerber LS II is a great pocket knife for $20. But some people feel $20 is waaaay too much money for a knife, and want something in the $3 price range. I've seen those $3 knives, and I wouldn't give one to Osama bin Laden, even if he promised to slit his wrists with it.

Some people are poor, and I sure don't have a lot of money to throw around. But if all I had was $3, I'd wait, and save, and buy the $20 one when I could, and feel a lot better about it. So the guy who buys the $3 knife would probably think my review of a $20 knife was totally worthless. Of course, some people buy cheap booze not because they like the taste, but because they can get drunker cheaper.
