Newbie Introduction

[SGStandard]

HI - I'm "SGStandard", but my name is Hobie. I am a USMC Vietnam veteran, and consider Rob Dalton to be the epitome of American entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity. If you can't find a Dalton you like, then you don't like knives!! Looking forward to spending time on this fine forum!! I sell some things on E-bay, but not too many knives. My name is "Atticaacn" on e-bay, and my feedback is 100%, for those of you I may eventually deal with. My favorite Dalton is my #5 TI Tanto. I have a Devil's Talon, but it's in the drawer being punished, and no TV, for accidentally stabbing my hand (don't ask). Bad knife!! Bad knife!! Best Regards, Hobie

"SGStandard" reporting for duty!! I'm a USMC Vietnam veteran who rarely met a knife he didn't like. I'm a mail clerk in medical now, and they don't care if I go on the Dalton Forum as long as I do my job. Yes-s-s-ss!!! I have 2 dogs, an American Bulldog and a pitbull, both rescues, and I love them even more than my Daltons!! I sell on E-bay under "Atticaacn" and I have a 100% rating, so I'm squared away. My 1st Dalton is a Mini-Rung-Sat (BTW, "Rung-Sat" is a Vietnamese mangrove forest where the VC liked to hide out. The 240th Helicopter Company dealt with THEM!) The Mini Rung Sat is the best small auto made, IMO. I lost my 07Militia recurve, and I'm too embarrassed to even tell the story. Also a Devil's Talon, a Minuteman, an all-red Tiger I, and a #5 TI Tanto I just got (My favorite!) I will post pics very soon in "Discussion Forum". I'm an artist and craftsman, and IMO Rob Dalton is a genius, who unlike most artists or manufacturers, creates objects that don't all look like the same person made them. When you factor in the sheer numbers of different models, their varieties, their limited numbers, innovative quality, and ergonomic function, they're a tough act to follow. I traded almost my entire knife collection for a handful of Daltons!! pS: Check out the milled taper on the aluminum frame on the Devil's Talon, for added slimness. Then, notice how perfectly it fits in your hand. Interestingly, the Devil's Talon appears to be the same knife as the Hell's Gate, but with a different name on the blade!! Yeah-h-h - Daltons are cool!!

Welcome aboard, thanks for your service, and post away. I learned something from you already. Now I know where the name Rung Sat comes from. Ed B

Here is a link you may have missed, to the real Rung Sat, i.e. circa Nam, like our new esteemed member SGStandard has detailed:
