Guys, I'm upset but nothing that serious. There was a Bartmann straight last night that ended at 2am & I meant to snipe it but I forgot. It had a broken blade right at the end of it maybe just 1/4" from the end at the most & when it was closed it was as if it was barely touching the wedge so it would have been ok if I would have cut it off! It sold for $15!!!! :banged:

There not Pokemon Steve, you can't get them all. I hate it when I have items that are in my watch list and I am not paying attention and they go for ridiculously low numbers.

I know but it had engraving on the spine & would have turned out to be a butchered beauty but I was getting tired & I forgot! I just found it & added pics. Looks like blood on the blade like it may have bit someone.

Yeah Mike, it would have been a successful surgery! You see where when closed, it looks like it is almost touching the wedge? It would have been perfect & I doubt the scales would have needed shortening. Oh well.............there will be others.

Yep, that's what we're all about. Tom is Tom & he's one unique guy. I don't dislike him for it at all. We all have our own ways. If were were all the same, everyone would be so damn boring!!!! ";"
