No, I didn't. The Smatchet must only be used when there is no other remedy.
Its not a very good picture and not a very good Smatchet, as Smatchets go. If I had a very good Smatchet, like a handmade one from a master, I would have a talented photographer take big beautiful pictures of it and I would share them with my friends. LOL

Share pictures, not Smatchet. Smatchets must only ever have one owner and must not be lent. They are the Rottweilers of the knife world.
After that trap you set for the Crip, I thought it best to clarify. LOL

Those are all Boker stainless except for the Damascus one, which is nice. Real Smatchets are not made of stainless. And they are made by an American in America. Like in Oregon, America - for example.

I wonder what a custom Smatchet made in Oregon would cost . . .

If I had a Smatchet, I would only loan it to teammates, and some immediate family members.
NOTE: Smitty was NOT a real teammate!
Have to agree with you about the REAL Smatchet, and who made it.
The Oregon maker has stopped producing them, though. Never again, I believe he said.
Nice sig on the Damascus version though. The Colonel's, I believe.

A box of gold wouldn't be enough, but that's not the point. You can't put a price on the Smatchet, you can only pay tribute to the Smatchet Master who creates it. And the amount of tribute in no way is implicative of the esteem in which the Warrior holds the Smatchet Master. (I hope).

Anybody know where to buy adult diapers? The maid is starting to look at me funny when she washes my pants after Reaper posts.
Don't want to have to look under EVERY tree in the AO for your Smatchet, eh Boss? LOL

Trees, hookers/wives/ex-wives beds (including ditches), FUSEP Stations, new homes, etc.

Hey Kyobanim - ever think about building your own AR?
Spread the cost out piece by piece?
BTW, nice Smatchets... wonder if I can find one of those around here in Oregon, USA?
