    That seems kind of dickish.

    Here a wide load ('D') is anything over 10'6", but less than 82' on a single pivot while 'oversize' is a load that exceeds length and/or width.

    No, I make the whole knife. I've got a few different fixed blade designs and folder designs I am working on.

    I also make aftermarket scales (handles) for some benchmade and spyderco knives.

    I mentioned to the guys I coyote hunt with that I was looking for a climber stand for this fall. One guy said I've got one, don't buy anything. Went over to his place and picked up these two museum pieces last night. :eek:

    The hanger is all aluminum and super light, but that seat has to be the most uncomfortable thing ever made:annoyed:. Without modifying anything I can't quickly undo, I ended up adding a couple of pounds, but sitting on it should at least be bearable.

    Jury is still out on the climber. I need to take a closer look at it this afternoon. I think cavemen hunted dinosaurs off of these. :confused:

    P.S. I hope that didn't come off as ungrateful! The guys I hunt with are great! They'd give you the shirt off their back and I appreciate it immensely.

    @StayinStock uses a climber. I had one and sold it, hunted out of lock ons for many years. Gave them all to a friend a few years ago because of my back issues. Got to where I couldn't hang them anymore. Wife got me hunting from ground blinds now :D

    The friction folders start at $150.
    I have two other folding designs I'm working on. Hopefully I can get some prototypes of them finished early next year.

    I got rid of my hang on stands last year, said I was done with them. :anonymous: I didn't know he had this one, I thought he was just lending me a climber. I hated hanging the ones I had, they were steel and probably 40 lbs each. This one is a feather in comparison. I put a ladder stand up this year that feels like a lazyboy. I'll probably be sleeping half the time in that. :rolleyes:

    It can suck at times, but I got a back band and just re-adjust for comfort.
