Regardless of MAP shenanigans I will continue to support National Knives. In my top five go to knife dealers.
Yes, I agree - National Knives is one of the best, and one of the few I do not hesitate to order from!

Re: ACT NOW WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! BBB 15V


I wonder if producing serrated 15V is profitable. Like how many 15v blanks do they have period, then how many would need to be dedicated to full serrations in order to justify producing a wheel (or wheels) to cut them, and how quickly would those wheels wear out when dealing with such a wear ...

Re: 15v or S90 for Military 2 ?


Ok Dead Box - you convinced me. 15v it will be ✊

(And then I will get the S90 Military later )

.


Good choice (15V now) and plan (S90V later). 15V will likely be gone much sooner than S90V. I prefer G-10 also, but the carbon fiber scales on the S90V Military 2 are very nice (both looks and ...

Re: The Endura handle "hump" and why it does not bother me (pics included)

I like the Endura, except for the bumps. The way I tend to naturally grip the knife, the bumps hit me in the large joint of my middle finger, so they are fairly uncomfortable. I'm going to try sanding them off, and I think it will be a vast improvement.

Re: Military 1 in SPY27 ?


I certainly hope we get more military 1s. I also prefer it to the 2. It’s one of my favorite models. I’m not holding out hope but a salt one would be amazing . Id welcome any new steel though. Not interested in 110v


I also prefer the M1 over the M2. An M1 all-black Salt would be fantastic!

It appears Rex-121 will not be made again anytime soon (see the last paragraph below):


Blade Magazine had an update but maybe it has been discussed in another thread.

My order for one regular style Rex-121 PM2 was final 2 minutes after start time - I'm getting slow in my old age. ;)
This is really cool, I would have guessed little to no Rex-121 was left. Thank you Jeff, Sal and others who made this possible! :smiling-hearts

Re: What would be your dream knife?

I would like to see a Sage 6 with a 4.0"-4.5" blade (same blade shape, just longer), with either MagnaMax or S90V steel. Grips, the Salt black G-10 would be great, and a definite yes for the button comp lock.
