Talk me out of getting another F1!

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I would go for the satin myself less chance of looking like a mall ninja  

Yeah I'm leaning that way too, but it would be nice to have the extra corrosion resistance

Depends where you will be using the knife and if any of the Hush puppy wearing brigade will be within panicking distance 

[WhichDawg]

I know what you mean about the current scales, I like em too.
the reason I suggested the blank was it's less expensive and
adding your own personality touch/work would make it really special
(but you knew that )

You don't have to get it now, after you've caught up on bills and things
and the wenches have "worn you out" you'll have time later  

[Freudian Frog]

Don't do it! And if you do, send me an old one.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I'm thinking of getting it before the wenches get there claws in

I notice that this thread has gone from "should I get it" to what model should I get.

I had already made up my mind, but none of my minions have come up with a good reason not to get one

Thats because Sensei there is no good reason not to get such a quality knife

I think it was Mark Twain who said "Everyone has two reasons for doing something. A good reason and the real reason"

You have given a good reason so what's the real reason?

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I just received this pair of Ironwood scales for my next F1 build.

The bolts and Lanyard hole tubing will be Nickle Silver and I have an order in to JRE for a Gundy sheath set up as a dangler.

Real reason, how about the world's moving into some dark times, and I want some extra life insurance that only a quality fixed blade can bring

More like, he wants one 'cos they are totally sweet.

Well there is that too

[WhichDawg]

it's not "talk you outta getting another one" it's talk you outta getting one NOW!
because you know how good they are and how great they fit in your hand.

maybe you could wait for a deal, or if any of us see one for sale you wait until then and that might
make it less guilty!

all I suggest is to wait until your ready (financially), because it's just a matter of time

That's pretty much what I'm going to do, as there never on offer over here, and I think there about the same price whatever side of the pond your on

Cheapest I've seen them for over here is Heinnie's for £69.95 with free postage
