Thread: what would you do with a spare 900 dollars...

My good friend and co-worker Eddie Lombi was a knifemaker years ago. He made the early Tom Brown Tracker knives and still has a few. I am betting that if I offered him $900.00 for one he would probably give it up. Here is an example of what they look like now. The ones that Eddie made are far superior to what these are in looks if not in performance. I can't speak to that.

At this very moment, if I had that money as pure spending money, it'd be a quality iaito for solo sword practise when I get to that stage of my training:



Before that, it would look really pretty on the wall. Not to mention that in 12 years time, it would be visible on the living room wall for all potential boyfriends to think about before they think about trying to get their filthy hands on one of my daughters

You just need to have that scene from Pulp Fiction playing every time...or get a poster

I knew a veterinarian with a beautiful 16-year-old daughter. He told her dates, "Just remember I castrate dogs for a living".

I like that man!

I think I might have to go with a William Henry I've had my eye on. Either that or I'd use it (probably as a partial payment) towards a one-off custom.

Well, thanks for all the suggestions. I finally decided to go with 3 Jeff Morgan damascus fixed blades. one has buffalo horn scales, one with iron wood scales, and one with curly maple scales! Each knife is 6 and 3/4 inches long overall!

So, what do you think?

There are subtle differences in the shape of each blade. I like the shape of the one on the left with the horn scales best!

Overall I like the one on the right. Figures you would go for the one on the left and I would go for the one on the right.

I would have bought a set of kitchen knives from Butch!

and bought a case of beer with the change

I´m not shure, if 900,- is enought, when I look at this site:

Knife Art Custom Knives, Damascus Knives, Custom Knife, Custom Knives

900,- $ would I invest in some tools for an forge, so that I can make my own damascus stell and knifes

The maker used a portion of metal derived from a meteorite to make this damascus.
