    Got to love getting a nice "fuck you" negative rep for my opinion in the thread about a cop shooting a dog. Never understood those reps unless you are willing to say who you are. People these days.

    On another note I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th. I'll be at my cabin by Pinecrest Lake, but unfortunately no wheeling since my 4runner needs some work first. Anyone have any plans?

    We used to go up there as kids. What a kick in the pants that was. I miss it.

    I happened to notice the PD's press release and made a comment on that. Pretty sure I'm on some hate-mail list somewhere now.

    Hmmm... What was the name of Greg's shop again?

    I know about the awesomes knives you do (those are so badass) but for some reason I'm thinking this place sold Benchmades?

    You could look on the Benchmade website. They've got a list of dealers. Maybe that would help with the name?

    I need a knife!! Where do I go? I don't want to go to the Oakland store because that guy is rude, the Martinez store is priced high and I won't buy it online. I usually get mine from AUS.

    They don't have Benchmade, thanks for the suggestion. The website shows Authorized stores 25miles away. REI had the basic griptilian. There's another model I want though.

    :)

    I was looking for the plain edge.

    http://www.benchmade.com/products/300

    Some dealers can go down a few bucks, maybe 20-30 dollars or so. These are only suggested retail prices.

    I know Stevens Creek doesn't have it. I'll hit the gunshop on Friday and see. They are a + dealer.

    Looks like a fun and lively place! How's the weather there? And in the shopping areas where you buy food, does it smell like it does in SF Chinatown?
