Where did you get the scales?

...
The single color GB2 on the right is OD green Micarta from Sharp Dressed Knives
...

The burgandy linen micarta scales in my previous post was also from SDK.

As are the micarta scales on one of my examples.

I’ve had this sitting in my cart for a couple weeks now. I’m pleasantly surprised that the price dropped. It isn’t favorable to the early buyers though…

I used to own many para 3s before I ever owned a GB2.

Today I have one para 3 lw and 3 GB2s. The GB2 is a real working knife. The para 3 will always be a knife that you have to take it easy on to ensure you don’t snap the tip.

There’s a lot of people that will disagree with me but one thing is ...

Couldn't resist picking up some of the plain edge K390s before they disappear.
K390 Delica 4 and K390 Dragonfly 2 Wharnie incoming. Those Bento sales are hard to pass up. Still more I wanted to grab. Wish I still received birthday money as I know where I would spend it.
As Joe stated, K390 has ...

I have three GB2s (including a M4 backup in the box in case I lose the other M4) because it’s such a great knife. I’ve never come across a GB1 but would love for it to come back… here’s to hoping!

Remind me what the fradon lock delica look like? That knife sat there for years. I can’t think delica exclusives are that popular since many take a long long time to sell out.

My favorite part of this thread (besides the fact that the JaniSong is finally available in the U.S.):

Stay safe,

Hear, hear!

That's Exquisite! You have a talent.



Oh, Sal.
I seem to have gone and embarrassed myself... again. While it's true that I sometimes use my vocabulary to turn my thoughts into awkward prose, or my lathe to turn my ideas into functioning machines, that poem isn't entirely my own creation ...

I think it depends entirely on the model and combination. I wouldn't try to judge the whole situation on that one line of knives. Cost is also a factor, but again I even think this depends on the combination. If they announced a Rex 121 Para 2 sprint I wouldn't expect it to last even an hour ...

Listed as out of stock, so the best way to find out is to shoot an email to DLT if this is true or not.

I had two Janisongs like @Rinzler, and they are extremely fun and unique knives. I think Mike Janich is a genius for this one of a kind design, and it's a shame that most American Spydie fans ...

I’m not sure what changed compared to spydercos past refusal to import the janisong unless the janisong knives are now USA made or spyderco is taking a consent decree and regulatory gamble with DOJ under the friendlier Trump administration, but DLT has these listed now as “coming soon.”

I’ve had ...

Hopefully you found this helpful to understand Crucible's bankruptcy. Happy to address any questions if you have any.


Thanks for posting. It sounds really complicated.



The exhibits to the APA with Erasteel shows that it is purchasing inventory, WIP, A/R, and only the induction furnace ...

I assume these are all knives that aren’t selling super well. Interesting.


Spyderco inched their prices higher and higher each year until the consumer said to heck with that. Personally I’ve stopped buying spyderco knives like I did in the past because the value isn’t there anymore. I’m happy ...

Anyone ordering from dack should absolutely understand that their shipping time disclaimer is dead serious. They are the SLOWEST shipping company of any knife or gun retailer. Expect to wait 30+ days for your shipment to arrive.

Made in Italy apparently.

Yes but my understanding was that all knives manufactured elsewhere end up in Golden, Colorado for final QC inspection and packaging.

Plausible.

I bought mine directly from spyderco.

How is the food release on the Nakiri?

I have the small petty in this same flavor, and the FFG + finish really inhibit food release. I still use the knife often, but I find that aspect somewhat irritating, especially given the price point of these knives.

Does a hammered finish release food ...

hard NO on forum knife

Such a well thought out justification of why we shouldn’t have a forum knife.

@Rinzler, how is the detent/flipping action?


Detent is fine and it flips fine, but the knife is nowhere near the quality of my shiros. I’m going to pass it down the road and can disassemble for our northern neighbors so maybe someone else can appreciate it…


Did you honestly expect it to ...

Changing my vote to HAP40/SUS410 so it'll patina with a hamon look.

I’d love that.

It's easy on the eye...

It really is.

The blade shape is very nicely done too.
