So is there a serial number somewhere on this knife?
KAS
Well if this knife had a serial number, it has worn off or it never had one. I did find some stuff about it via Google, though.

I guess the wattage wars are alive and well, and everyone has to have a 200W mod. P4You have just announced the IPV5 - another 200W mod running on dual 18650's. Man, we're gonna see some fireworks this year!
Here's something that'll give everyone a good laugh. A friend of mine, who's new to vaping, bought this without conferring with me first.
It's all fun and games till somebodies house burns down.I guess the wattage wars are alive and well, and everyone has to have a 200W mod. P4You have just announced the IPV5 - another 200W mod running on dual 18650's. Man, we're gonna see some fireworks this year!
It will read temps the same way ALL temp guages do....not a single one "reads actual temperature".........if they are accurate enough for the entire rest of the world, i think they are accurate enough for our useOK and how will it be reading actual temperatures. The short answer is it won't, it will react to (measure) changes within the sensor brought about by temperature.
And the temperature it will "read" is what. The average temp of the coil, average temp of the vapor, some combination of both.
As an investor I'll pass on this one.
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

I can't like either of these posts...
There is so much potential damage to our industry contained in both.
All we can do is educate.
So...
I decided to do what I'd never done before...I Google'd the maker's mark on my Gpa's knife...
Turns out it's a near-the-end-of-WWII-era Remington Hunting knife, model 34...made my the PAL company, which was bought out by Remington...or that division of Remington was bought out by PAL...couldn't get a definitive answer.
It was a very popular knife (due to strength and quality of build) that a lot of servicemen bought to take with them into service.
However, it wasn't a military issued blade.
I DID read something about this model/family of RH models being hunting/utility knives, and somewhere it said the RH34 was modeled after something to do with Navy.
I felt all proud for already knowing that (thanks to Mr. KnifeMaker!).
I've actually found some for sale, and the urge to buy a partner for Gpa's knife is very strong, and hard to cope with.
Half my mind is logical, and knows that I don't have the money for it + Gpa would say I'm an idiot for spending it if I had it.
The other side of my brain is a sappy, sentimental jack--- and wouldn't think twice about shelling out the money for a totally unnecessary buy like this.
It's a good thing for my level of income, that the logical side of my brain wins out almost all the time!

Gpa would probably say ... get the other knife when the first one breaks 
I keep hearing my Gpa's voice in my head ... something about buying ProVaris I don't need

My google search showed me where the serial number was usually stamped, right where you said, there is nothing on mine as far as I can tell, thanks for the info though.

I was thinking the same thing. I always think I would love to have a nice leather holster for mine. And his leather work just looks fantastic. Better than most I have seen.

I have one very similar to that one. At the .... though it has a bird on it. I would have to find it. I know it was my dad's but other than that I know nothing. LolI read Hb's post yesterday, and it just did not click with me until today, and I remembered that I had a similar knife like the one he posted, I have had it for a long time, I am not positive but I think it was my dad's. It is not in great shape, but figure what the heck, I know nothing about knives.
So I guess, is it just a piece of junk?

This Radius is fantastic. Amazing build quality and works great.
I really don't like how the battery is removed though. Complete P.I.T.A. And the only negative I can find with this device (ok, I can't run my 0.2 ohm drippers on it, but not why I bought it). Does Provape or anyone else sell replacement screws? I ask as I almost lost one down my sink in the first couple of hours I owned it. I will likely buy a dozen. Not a fan of that system at all.
Beyond that, I absolutely love it. The display is almost the lovechild of a Signature and a P3. I mean that in a very good way. VERY easy to navigate thru and use.
Funny thing..... I look at my non-Provari mods and think "how many months will these last?". With my Provaris, I catch myself saying "how many years will these last?". The build quality of these things are amazing.
Very happy so far.

Now riddle me this ~ Why were you unscrewing it over the sink? No stopper?
