Tasteful or Tasteless?

I just received my June edition of Blade magazine.
First, reading the editorials, Bill Harsey and Chris Reeve are mentioned being noticed at Bob Lums service...very nice and an appropriate statement for the context of the editorial.
Second, page 14, the add for the 'Pacific' knife by Chris and Bill....makes me want to get one.
Third, page 22, an ad in the upper left corner from Lansky sharpeners: stating they are "Number One, the best in the knife sharpening business for a reason" and a picture of a guy holding up his index finger as to give you the sign of #1....with a partially amputated index finger!!
I show alot of medical pictures on this site for educational and sometimes humorous purposes.....this to me is in poor taste. Take a look. What do you think?

Forgot one other thing...page 103, the Professionalsoldier knife , by Bill Harsey and Chris Reeve. "A discreet, no-nonsense tool"...nice paragraph about this site!!

You're giving away state secrets!

Did the mag mention who gets the "FIRST" one hundred serial numbered "ProfessionalSoldiers" PS knives?

If this means what I think it means... there goes the tax return check!

Coffee Can

I've been putting my spare change into two coffee cans for the last good while.

Pennies in one and nickles, dimes and quarters in the other one.

Both are pretty near full. Going to roll 'um up and get myself something nice for Christmas. Have I found it?
