Hello, I am Dan (Damanupnorth) I have been into blades and guns for thirty years now.
I did a butt-load of gun shows back in the late 70’s & 80’s back with things like cheap
autos out of Italy & Mexico ruled and the few German autos were like gold.
Back then toys like Kershaw’s Trooper, 9mm Uzi were cool and the band new
Mac10 I pickup new as only $400. Well over the years I got rid of all the crap (Mac10)
and collectables, why have a safe queen when a well used tramp was so much more fun.
I am the type of dork that drills into a new Microtech Halo III to put a pocket clip on it.
I did buy a DKW SandShark for EDC – yes it’s a little big in the pocket so I sold the
full size 1911 for 3” ultra raptor and it all worked out.
My son and wife now carry Benchmade's, my daughter adopted a little Paragon auto proto
I pickup at a Sturgis rally about ten years back and my C.R. Sebenza.
I don’t have much compared with most “collectors” but then again I am not a collector.
I just love them for what they are quality & well crafted tools made in USA.
I can’t wait to buy a few off of this site, my first day here I got a real deal so
thanks Dalton Forums.
My top ten toys:
Hayabusa with a Mr. T turbo (not stretched – in MN we like a bike that can take a corner)
Kimber ultra raptor II
Desert Knife Works SandShark
Microtech Halo III (with pocket clip)
Microtech Ultratech (love to carry so thin, wonderful for long bike trips)
Dalton Scale release (should have picked up a dozen when I had the chance)
Chris Reeves large Sebenza (fancy)
Benchmade (about 8 but my Elishewitz is one of my fav’s)
Mac’s SST-50 EDC flashlight (everyone should have one, trust me)
Busse, my only fixed blade - just kicked off the top ten for the new Dalton that just arrived
Dalton G10 2007 - this just in today
