Meh, you didnt get what I was trying to say. So did the other guy and I had a PM convo with him also. I'm into modding myself, that was not my point I'm not even against pretty knives, I keep mine spiffy as well. Just bugs me that the company is willing to peddle you Ti screws among countless other embellishments yet they dont sell their knives directly to common folk. Im sure there are MANY first responders who use Hinderers as they should... Relatively speaking though in numbers, knife hobbyists arent ALWAYS first responders. My point was that probably 90% of their devoted customers are probably REGULAR folk and if they can sell you Ti screws, they should sell you their knives. It wasn't a slight on customers except that you should be a little erked that they insist that these knives should be deployed in Iraq so can only sell to guys like the Military etc. but lo and behold they'll accessorize you real nice no problem.
This is all old news of course. Not hating, I just had to say something about the absurdity of it. Your mod already sent me a "trolling" infraction for speaking out so I better scram. Just making my positions clear. Cheers.
