For some reason my order keeps getting declined

I plan on ordering 2 for myself but am available to forward to Australia. Send me a PM if you need some help (located in Canada) and we can arrange something.

My credit card is ready!! Been waiting a long time for this one :) thanks Kristi!

Got my shipping notification earlier today!

Just snagged one. Good luck to everyone who's still trying!

Thanks for the update!
Any word on pricing? thanks

I believe $50. That's what it's listed as on the webstore and has been mentioned here a couple times by staff.

Awesome! Looking forward to hopefully snagging one :)

I'm leaning towards ordering a couple of the Brisa blanks since they're pretty inexpensive and have a pretty good reputation. I'll be watching this thread to read your take on the Brisas... thanks!! I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get my hands on them. Unfortunately the US/Canada land bor...

Has your Colada arrived? How is it compared to the Ambush? Photo as promised, with a Chaparral for size comparison. I find the handle/tang of the Colada a bit much, not very ergo (so long it pokes my palm), and I wear size "L" gloves. I may cut the Colada down to a half tang knife. I like...

Found another cool skeleton blank by White River Knives. It's a little on the pricier side at 80 USD but comes in S35VN steel. Overall length is 6" (slightly shorter than the Ambush) but the blade is only 2.25" so this should allow for a comfortable 4-finger grip. https://whiteriverknives....

What size tubes did you use here?

Only slightly related, but has anyone worked with the Kizlyar blanks? I see they have a couple in CruWear class steels under $50.

I must have missed those when looking for alternatives. Never heard of this brand before either.

Yes, 'chonky' is a good word for it. I noticed in a BF thread (from years ago) that an employee of DLT offered someone a free regrind on another Ambush knife, but the cost would be no stonewash finish on the final product. (Unknown: the quality of work you'd get. Does a random DLT employee get the ...

Strictly right hand and eye for myself.

What grit do you typically take your micarta scales up to? And how do you finish them?

I love the look of a smooth polished finish but wouldn't that result in a lack of grip if your hands are wet?

I suspect Z-Max was about as easy to work as Maxamet, so there are most likely rejects waiting for the seconds sale. They may only be a nickel less than the firsts, but it will beat paying three or four times the original price on FleeceBay. Despite the Z-max's low price they are still selling for ...

I think I was looking at that one on Ebay too. I checked back today and the listing was gone. Congrats and enjoy the knife :)

Ok, the Z-Max is done! Now on to testing next week at camp.

What liners are those? Looks great! I love the colour contrast.
