Hey DTex - Explain for novices out there like Coach what an inlay is and how you got into collecting these knives. I have a CASE knife myself that my Dad bought me some years ago that I wouldn't trade my sole for.

The inlay is where you see in my knives Shark, Stingray,Ostrich, Lizard. There is usually what is called "Skate tape" which is like sandpaper that is sticky on 1 side. Knives can be inlaid with wood, carbon fiber, mother of Pearl, Abalone, really anything. Microtechs are mostly autos,and are sold to Military, and LEO's. I have sold my knives all over the world. A buddy-0-mine from Oklahoma had the 1st Microtech I'd ever seen. I was working in New Orleans with the Corps of Engineers on the Canals that breached, and told him to bring me one of them there automatic knives. I about dropped a load when he got there, and told me that it was $225.00!! After that 1st "SNAP!!", I was hooked. Within 2 months, I was collecting customs, and paying upwards of $1200.00 for hand ground MT's. The last pic here is around $6.000-$7,000 my cost 2 years ago. I was just by the Case outlet store in Missouri 2 weeks ago on my way to Illinois.

easy texiban, you sure you wanna pile on? Coach can take it cuz most of the stuff I say about him is true, and he "gets off" on being exposed. But you seem like a nice guy, so I'm just giving you fair warning.

I know. We all seem to get along here so I can take razzing as well. Ask Coach. We've been trading barbs with each other since we were 16. Besides we all know it was AB getting inlaid by Tyrone! You know how cops take bribes of all kinds!

Astrobuddy watches reruns of the Andy Griffith Show and fantasizes that he can only be half as good a peace officer as his hero, Barney Fife. He also watches Deputy Dawg cartoons to help feed his ego.

Like I posted on another thread. Barney Fife is the consumate professional when compared to HPD or Harris County Precinct 8 Constables! ;D AB only wishes he had Barney's cunning and instinct!
