Brad737 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/18/18 Posts: 17 Loc: Florence, KY	In regards to the hump on the early Astros evolving to the harpoon tip of later Astros, I called RMK and asked why and when it changed. They deny there's any difference to the profile. Edited by Brad737 (06/27/18 04:29 PM) _________________________ Model citizen...Zero discipline

Ronnie Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/13/11 Posts: 2255 Loc: NW Mississippi	I have never gotten an answer to that question either Bill. But a blind man can see the difference between then and now. The new 17’s make no sense to me. You may as well call a Pro Thrower a Smithsonian Bowie. _________________________ Ronnie RKS#2166

Holzinger258 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1742 Loc: The Desert Southwest	I got this Astro from Perry Miller quite a while ago. It has the slightest hint of a “hump” but certainly no “harpoon” tip. Can anyone tell me when it was made? Attachments ------ Edited by Holzinger258 (06/28/18 02:52 PM)

Ronnie Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/13/11 Posts: 2255 Loc: NW Mississippi	Yeah I would say 70’s. I think it was not long after that period that they started screwing then up. Edited by Ronnie (06/28/18 11:57 PM) _________________________ Ronnie RKS#2166
