Re: C01 - genuine?

Thanks rycen - glad to hear that.

The knife does feel good and sturdy, a little dab of oil will make it perfect. Looks like it has not been even sharpened. So this ended up being a real bargain! :cool: :spyder:
This was actually the 1st time I've ever seen a C01 in real life! :eek:

C01 - genuine?

Hi folks, been away for few years, but got the "bug-bite" after seeing this in a local ebay. Had to act! :cool: Looks genuine to me, but I would be happy to get 2nd opinions if this really is a C01, and what year it might be. Thanks in advance for any thoughts, -pjt https://lh4.googleuserc...

Got back from LA last night. Went to Plaza Cutlery, REI and Recon1. All definitely worth visiting! Bought stuff from Recon1 and Plaza and received _very good_ service in both. Plaza guys threw in a t-shirt after hearing I had come such a long way. At Recon1 they helped me to get the items I asked th...

can you post some more pictures of that orange D4? looks to me like a really cool dye job on a white D4, regardless i really like that shade of orange, kinda like a cream color orange. Sorry, that is pure optical trickery, it is still a white one. And will stay so. Apologies for the colour - did no...

I am not familiar with the Puukko design, but I know a fine knife when I see one. The fit and finish on this model was superb. IIRC the handle is desert ironwood, but perhaps someone else can chime in on that. I was talking to Eric about making more small fixed blades and this is a nice example of ...

This thread is dangerously addictive... every year. Gotta love those pics! Perhaps Mr Blonde could share the details of your "portable studio" a bit - I think it was showing in one of the pics there if i am not mistaken? Somehow I get the feeling that :spyder: is shifting its design langua...

hi, sorry for the delay.. I just got round to investigate the knife again. For me, it just took a good squirt of Ballistol and some flicking open/closed to get it smooth. So if there was something extra in there, it got "massaged" away and the surfaces got some good lubricant niceness to t...

How do you like that mouse lite? When I got mine it had a corner on the action that made it funny to operate and also there was almost a 1mm gap of movement between the blade and the lock before it engaged. I tried open it to fix it and the first time I tightened the pivot, it stripped. Now I have ...
