You have, but other things keep cropping up.

Benner,

Yeah bud, I know. Happens to me all the time.

BUT......we are talking Gunboat Canoes here. The ultimate in slipjoint technology! The quintessential non-locking folder for the serious slipjoint user! Sacrifices have to be made.

I guess food is a bit of a luxary these days

You'd be surprised how long the human body can go without sustenance. But not even that, put them survival skills to work. And with a Gunboat in hand, survival is assured.

I'm watching one of these on a popular internet auction site right now. I've always wanted to try out this pattern. I guess I know who I'll be bidding against now

Don't worry about me bud, I ain't going after it. My knife buying is slowing down right now (trying to save up enough coin to add another 1911 to the gunsafe, looking at a TRP Operator!). Unless something really sweet pops up at a deal I can't pass, the only knife I got in my sights at the moment is the upcoming "Backpocket" from Case.

Hope you win this one bud, good luck!

Those TRP's are sweet. My next pistol is a 9mm. Having a Marine for a Dad has made me biased and pretty much all of my handguns are .45. I've got to get something different. Maybe a Glock 26?

My Gunboat has already gone over what I want to spend on it. Ohh well I'm sure I didn't NEED another knife anyway.

You may not have "needed" it, but unfortunately there are times you get an opportunity to buy something rare or risk if it ever does come up again costing a boatload more.

GMArthur,

Yeah, since their release years ago I have been wanting a TRP, in one form or another. The Operator version really has me. Just wish they did them in 10mm. I keep telling myself to go ahead and splurge and just order myself a Nighthawk Custom or a Fusion, the way I want, in 10mm.....but they are really a bit out of my range for one 1911. I'd also like to have one of the newer release Colt Delta Elite's but they are spendy for a no-frills 1911. I've got to handle a few different TRP's, including one Operator, and they are sweet as hell.....and I know the quality as I've owned a few Springers in my time. So I think I'm going with the TRP, but fundage will dictate.

I've owned Glocks, I like them. But I get bored with them. Had a early model G22, a G32, and a G20. I really liked the G20. I don't have any of them anymore, although I kick myself from time to time for parting with the G20.

How high did that Gunboat get by the way? They are a expensive pattern, but if it stayed below $100 you can't go wrong. But either way don't fret, they always are on the 'bay and good deals can be had. I've snagged a few Gunboats off of there on auction for about half their going retail price. Time and patience bud.
