Love the Balisongs. Must be nice to have some that aren't made out of cheap pot metal that breaks.

I don't see prices, form of payment, shipping options, or anything that gives me a warm and fuzzy.

I'm always up for jungle knives. Show me some specific ones and what they cost.

I was able to learn the opening and closing of those knives. Butterfly knives

What I appreciated was the pork BBQ on a stick. Excellent food. What's the BBQ secret?

Just a suggestion for you Lefties - it may be easier for others to follow what exactly you are selling if you start a new thread for each individual item.

I think you can put it in your signature.

Rick

No, you can not list it in a post. You can, as Pete said, put it in your signature. If you do so, you can't refer folks to your signature. That's no different that posting the link.

As Rick said, no you cannot post a link to your store. You can put a link in your signature to your store, but you cannot post things like "check out my signature", which would be the same as posting a link.

Upon further review, it might be best if you just use this one thread for selling your items. Keeping them all in one place will make it easier for people to find.

Rick
02-07-2012, 04:25 PM
One clarification to my post, lefties. You said no links to OTHER sites. You are welcome to post alink to any site you do not have an interest in. Just not your own.

ok no problemo,,just thought it might save bandwidth and give them the details. If they are truly interested they can send me a private message.

Lefties - you cannot send your link via private message either. It violates the well established rules we have. Again - if you want to include a link to your site, you can include it in your signature. That is the only place it can appear.

The stick food was generally monkey meat.

I'm from the Philippines and just recently bought items from lefties. He sent me poor quality items. nylon sheaths were worn and looked like they were chewed on by rats. blades were poorly finished. i've been sending him messages asking if he could direct me to his supplier so that maybe that supplier could remedy the problem. lefties just ignored me. i do not trust this guy.

Those pictures bring back memories. I've still got a couple from jungle survival training. Mine were made from leaf springs.

I also used to have one that I picked up during the training. It would just slice through the bamboo where our USMC Issue would bounce off the stuff.

I learned the art of using a Butterfly Knife from a little, but a bit high strung, Filipino girl. No one to mess with!

Now about the grilled pork on a stick (monkey meat), I agree it's some of the best eating over there.

Rick

I don't think I understand eating an unidentified meat speared by a stick. Now, I'll be the first to admit that any meat could be any old thing masquerading as something else. However, I have the option and clarity of conscience to believe it is exactly what is advertised. To willingly devour some unknown meat would have to require a generous, perhaps copious, quantity of alcohol or near starvation. To take that a bit further, no amount of alcohol would convince to me devour Balut. In fact, starvation would be the better choice. I couldn't keep it down anyway.

A high strung female with a butterfly knife. You like to live dangerously even for a Marine.

That grilled "meat" was good, but I have to admit that I had a good amount of San Miguel beer first. There's nothing like popping open a San Miguel, wiping off the bottle cap rust, and downing it with a good helping of "monkey meat". The grilling sauce (not BBQ sauce) is the best!
