Hey everyone!
Thanks M1....your so damn sweet.
For those who don't know it......No one from our camp was at the awards dinner.....except one.
When it was announced, and they called for someone from Strider to come and get the award.....the sound of crickets chirping was interrupted by our one PAL in the house shouting...."FLAKES"!.......
Thanks M1 
Thanks "sneaky"....my first real go at the leather......AND....i actually got a real V42 at the show.....

x_sf_med,
Your best bet would be TAD:
http://www.tadgear.com/edged%20tools/kershaw_knives.htm
Alternatively would be a PM to Mick, but that could take a while... 
AND, Mr. Mick..... JUST to set the record straight... I did NOT yell out "Flakes" in the middle of the award ceremony when they requested your presence at the podium and were met with.... ummm.... vast nothingness.
I believe the word that came to mind was more akin to a hat that is worn on the posterior.... and I said it quietly ... really.... no one heard me. I was an absolutely lady at that ceremony!

Yeahh, and Mick's fav drink is strawberry Koolaid. (Now I wish I'd have gone.) You got witnesses for the above stated lady like action?
I'm with Strider on this one.

I'm sure that during that particular ceremony, you probably were.

Now Mr. Harsey!!! I think it is safe to say that after I beat the you-know-what out of that 20 year old kid that challenged me to a sword fight on Friday night.... well, I was on best behavior after that!! I even did the whole gurly dress and high heels for the awards ceremony.... you and AM and Blake can vouch for that!

Love to help you ma'am, but I can't account for much of anything that went on Saturday night. Sorry

Passed out in the parking lot, or cooling off in a holding cell?

Well……I spoke to Mark Radcliffe, and he told me that the chances of them reorganizing the FSSF and giving me my issue were, well….kind of slim.
So I went ahead and purchased one. Its pretty damn nice too. The tip is original, the leather is great, and still bonded to the guard….the bluing is gone from the tip back about three inches….but who cares, im just running this story through my head of how the bluing was removed….and it makes it all good. Sheath looks almost new.
Its clearly one of my “holy-grails” …..still need that FSSF folder….and of course that knuckle-duster…..

Great hanging out with you and observing all of the excitement.
Great work!
