It would be a shame to leave here and not briong anything home. I did find a coulble balisong, but they were of very poor quality, nothing that I would like to have. Does any one know of a place where I can find some toys? Thanks If you want to have things made, there are several places that will make whatever you design. Silvas Knife shop on the South Hwy in Mambaling is fast and inexpensive. They will make any blade that you ask for, from large swords to small daggers or aluminum trainers. Another is Winnie's Knifemakers, if you want higher class, and higher prices. He;s in Mandaue, though there may be other branches I'm not aware of. As for sticks, my suggestion is to go to any of the many, many rattan furniture shops you see on the main roads and ask about their supplies. You can get rattan staffs that you can have cut, or cut yourself, for very little. If you want polished, finished sticks, I can't help you. I don't use them, so don't have any personal experience looking for them. You can e-mail me privately if you want phone numbers for the above places. Steve -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

See if he can direct you to what you are looking for. I suspect that he can. Good luck!

At least that would be my interpretation, to be on the safe side. Woody On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 10:45:38 -0700, Jared Dame wrote: > This is for anyone that is well versed in the laws of Colorado.

Yeah, but I have so many reservations on so many circles that I'm going to have to get rollerskates to get from place to place. And then there is the whole visiting with my friends... I'm going to be just booked. Still while I abuse knives, I am a big fan of keeping them sharp. My favorite kitchen knives are old carbon steel ones that are so soft even I can give them a decent edge with a couple of passes over the steel. It's the harder ones that I always roll when I try to sharpen. Fortunately I have a friend by the name of Doc, who prides himself on putting razor edges on blades. He automatically puts his sharpening tools in his car when when comes over because, everytime he shows up I drop all my work knives on him. For well over 20 years this man has been kevetching over what I do to blades. (What happened here? I had to hammer a nail. *Sigh*). Words gotten out now everyone does the same. Conversations, eating and entertainment just swirl around him as he sits there sharpening and chatting away. Other than that I have a couple of places around town that do sharpening. I learned a long time ago that the most dangerous knife out there is a dull one. So it's worth the investment to either learn how to keep it razor sharp or find someone who can. Thing is I just don't understand this obsession with modern knives -- work or tactical. Like I've said, to me a knife is a tool. Tools do jobs that we can't. I have a variety of work knives of different shapes for different jobs that I routinely change out for what I am doing that day. While I do appreciate fine tools, I'm a hell of a lot more interested in getting the job done than I am interest in the tool itself. But boy howdy are there some people who obsess on modern manufactured knives. I spend a lot of time at gun and knife shows selling books and swords and there are some real fanatics. People who nearly have an apolexy when they see me open a paint can with my Schrade Old Timer. I just scratch my head in wonderment when I see people paying so much money for blades that they either will never use or insist on pampering. I do have a blade collection -- they are antique/ethnic blades from around the world and they literally cover the walls. I also have some custom made blades that are pure art... and when I go visit the in-laws on the ranch, I leave them all at home. These blade would never survive a week on a construction site or fixing the roof on the barn. But even the antique/ethnic blades I take out now and train with just to keep fresh with different weapon styles and to train students with, so even there a level of practical application exists.
