Doesn't Bento have them in stock now?
They do, @ $25 over MSRP, plus tax and plus $15 shipping. NO THANKS! Im not paying $175 for an $88 item.

I’d like very much to have a flat grind Lil’ Matriarch, even if it meant just selling me the blade and making my own combo.

Re: Flashlights

I have the Cloud Defensive MCH. It’s the full length, High candela, dual power (first click 10%, 2nd click 100%). It’s really bright, throws really far. I don’t regret getting it. It takes a rechargeable battery, battery and charger included, as it should be. Came with a nice pocket clip. The mini h...

Re: MSRP prices

I wonder if I could just order the blade? I have a nice GitD Delica handle it would look awesome in 😉!

MSRP prices

I know the “S” is for suggested but are retailers, actually just one that I know of, supposed to go above the MSRP? I was looking at the Lil’ Matriarch on this site and it’s $124.95. Bento box is selling them for $149.95. Shipping $15 added at check out. They have a few that are priced this way, but...

Re: What’s Coming in 2023?

This may sound silly, but imo what would make a cool knife is a giant version of the dragonfly 2. Maybe scaled up to the size of a YoJumbo, in Cru Wear, and made in Golden. That spear head blade shape’s up sweep is begging for heavy jimping for the thumb and index finger choil that only happens at ...

Re: Total noob question

I was slicing a bit of paper and that spot caused it to tear but I’m not doing that everyday. I will just use it as is for now, I wasn’t sure if there was an easy fix to it so I figured I’d ask. I definitely don’t want a wave in the blade. Thanks for the replies!

Total noob question

I just purchased a new Delica. However the blade has a tiny nick in it. Do I have to resharpen the whole blade to elevate this or is there a way to fix the bad spot? I’ve only every dulled entire blades before, and currently use Carborundum stones, I know I need to invest in some fine/extra fine sto...

Re: Preferred Steels for Smaller Knives with Slim Blades

I’m game for a Maxamet Dragonfly 2 sprint run! I'd be up for it too but with how thin the blades are, after quench I think we'd most likely have a Pringles rather than a blade ! :squinting-tongue Good point! They could just make a thick bladed one or what about a dragonfly XL? Add a 33% to the dime...

Early Christmas times 2!

I wanted a Glow in the Dark Dragonfly, but prices in the typical spots were marked up quite a bit.

So I settled for this little guy, not bad. A day after I purchased the Ladybug, I found a Dragonfly!

Re: Backspacers: What are your thoughts? yea or nay: explain

I said yes! Whether for protecting the blade, adding some stiffness, finding it in the dark or just a pop of color, why not. I like the blue titaniums and glow in the darks.

Re: M398 mules have arrived

I got mine the other day. Today I had the worst time getting the handles on, the bottom hole on the mule was a tad tight, just the tiniest bit. Barrel would sink flush one way, not go in on the other side. I don’t have a drill press, a round file did nothing to the temper. I did sand/file down the b...
