Again with the making light of volunteers. I appreciate that you served in the military as did I. So, I do not get making fun of pepole that volunteer their time, effort and many time money to help others. As for being in the Boy Scouts I do this to spend quality time with my son and I voulnteer...
In reference to the Indiana Guard Reserve, yes I have seen these guys and I actually know some of them. Most are prior military. To make light of them is to not know what they do. First of, they VOLUNTEER their personal time and many times finances to assist others. They have contributed greatly...
As I read the question, the key phrase is "buy from a retailer". If I were a gun retailer I would want all buyers to pass a check for liability reasons. As a buyer it does restrict rights when buying from a retailer. The question does not addrsss the issue about the right to own a gun, which per...
We have this in Indiana, it is called the Indiana Guard Reserve. This is a State authorized, regulated militia, all volunteer force under the direct control of the Governor. See link below.

You look at the blade tang, the area between where the knife is sharp and the handle. There will be a stamp thay says "Buck" and if it made in China, "China" will be stamped on on one side or the other.
Same knife, WalMart can sell cheaper due to ecomomies of scale. I owned a retail cutlery store for over 15 years and my cost on that knife was always in the high $20.00 range, and I was a Buck direct dealer. Could not compete w/Wally world so I never stocked the 110. Be careful though when...
"'I've just gotten started myself, I've purchased several kershaws, the leek is great BTW and am looking at the higher end stuff. Unfortunatelay I have just discovered Chris Reeves but can't afford one. Does anyone actually use a CR knife? I'd be afraid to at those prices"

Scouts like any group has it good and bad. I am an adult volunteer in Scouts and work on the Pack/Troop, District and Council levels. Like most things in life you get out of it what you put into it. I volunteer countless hours becausr I believe in the program.

The vast majority of Mortgages are sold into the investment market. You may never know that your has been sold if the originator remains as the servicer.
There is no real cost difference to you.
As for closing cost, points in a sense are up front interest paid to the originator of the loan...
Not quite true. Case has never made their own damascus, it was always contracted out. The 1989 Centennial Series damascus knives used Bear Cutlery damascus. I also believe that they have also used Devin Thomas damascus before in limited edition knives. They do punch out and finsh their own...
Consider your monthly savings and then figure out how long it will take to be at a break even point with the closing cost. Then look at how long you have on your existing loan and compare to the new term and break even point on the new loan. If you would be ahead within 5 years I would say do...
You can't go wrong with Case, they area great knives. I was the largest Case dealer in central Indiana before I closed my store. That being said Case will be on the pricy side.
The Fox and Hound knives are import knives. I have seen them from Italy, India, Pakastain and China. The price points...
AKTI is a great organization and has done a lot to help protect knife rights all across the US.
If NY is successful with this money grab look for other states to follow suit. This action affects most tactical, thumb stud open style knives as NY is classifying them as gravity open knives...

The Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., has targeted knife retailers including Eastern Mountain Sports, Home Depot, Paragon and Orvis and has...
