Tactical Knives Mag May 2010

There is an article about the Harley Davidson Mini Hardtail Lightweight MODEL:13150-1.
BY Len McDougall

Small article with a number odd errors that make me believe that this reviewer never actually handled the knife. But pictures show someone’s hand.

Knife never referred to as 13150-1 or Mini Hardtail Lightweight. Just Mini-Hardtail (different knife.) details matter.

Valox scales with G-10 inserts??
Valox seems to be the best thing since sliced bread (my words not his.) I mean, it’s OK.

Clip secured by three Allen-type hex screws????
(This is a knife magazine???)

Offered in Plain Edge and Partially Serrated????
Is it??
EDIT: HD website lists one combo avail

Then a bunch of stuff about it being as tough as the men who ride and rising gas prices and freedom, OPEC.

Anyone read this?

No, but judging by your review, I'm sure I won't bother. The remark about "the men who ride and rising gas prices" is even more off-putting than the inaccuracies about the knife, itself. Nobody with whom I ride has ever bothered to check their gas mileage - it's completely beside the point.

But I know its a knife review, not a bike review. But it still puts me off the article, not the knives.

Got the issue in question. I normally buy it to look at the pictures and not read the articles.

Sort of what we used to say about "Playboy."

Wait... Maybe that is backwards?

Anyway, anything written by Michael Janich is good, Steven Dick is not too bad either. Mike Rigg's article is pretty good too. Some other folks don't impress me much.

Do you also read the knife magazine from back-to-front? Everybody "reads" playboy that way, too...

Not TK... They have "Gunny" now talking about knives.

What does the guy know about knives in the first place!?!? And he is now on SOG's payroll. It is sort of silly.
