didn't want to hijack dakotas thread. lexie(my daughter) pimped her wares she made at the 1500 last weekend and once she had enough money said she wanted to buy a knife. well being my kid you know she wasn't having any of those cheap crappy knives, so what did she finally decide on???? a black benchmade mini griptilian from brad, and he gave her a hell of a deal. the wife wasn't so happy but I'm a firm believer in letting my kid spend money she has earned on what she wants, and I couldn't be prouder that she wants knives. I have ruined her for life.
