This bums me out, but it is his prerogative. I've always gotten along great with Paul and Sam (and Robbie, who rocks) and I wish...

We made this decision for our children, Clark, Alice and Hal.
We retain ownership in the company and will be heavily involved, just like always.

I am looking for feedback... do you prefer the straps to be mounted on the back of the scabbard (like Buckingham) or on the front (like Weaver). I have heard that the straps on the front can make...
