Another update:

I was getting very worried about my Gayle Bradley, it having spent nearly two weeks in customs (the Manix 2 came right through after it was checked) -- I had pretty much written it off as a "for sure" loss. But today, I got the slip of paper -- I can pick it up at the post office ...

Let me know when you get yours mate! and post some pics of that monster too...

Thanks everyone!

Daniel, thanks once again mate! I am looking at getting one of the Matriarchs with the brown FRN PE when they are finally released. After that I will cool down for a while...

Hope ur well...

After my previous hassles, I've just gotten three shipments one after the other without even being opened..............go figure! :rolleyes:

The big batch of Millies and Para's was the one I was worried about............

Glad you like the Civvie mate, mine arrives soonish.............. :D ...

Jase if you are worried then the safest option is to buy from a reputable local dealer. I know of one Aussie dealer who can give you great service and decent prices. I will give you the details if you PM me your email. I am out ATM at a kids function.

Personally I know a few people who have ...

Finally got my Civilian! When I first flicked it open I was just amazed at how large and intimidating the knife is....It really is a beast! Luving it :D

I am begining to think that they confiscate knives according to the price of eggs at the south pole. :confused:

No ways! That sucks...so what is the prognosis...??? can you get them back?

Yeah they do but they seem more popular in Japan so tend to be sold there...........the Stainless version has a Plain edge that can still be bought from one of the Tokyo dealers.............

I have at least one PE but its the Carbon Fibre version..........

It seems like the point of entry does make a difference in at least some cases with most instances of "interruption" coming from Sydney..........I've had my own instance of probs there a couple of years ago but thankfully none since..............

quick notice! hehehe :D

Super sweet macro shots....

The orange and black looks sick hot!!! Wow! that is just so nice....

Tenacious is a sweet knife at a great price. Perhaps a bit big for some folks (like me) for EDC, but a wonderful knife nonetheless.

I find it's smaller twin brother, the Persistence, a little better sized for my overall preference.

If I can just quit slicing my thumb tip on closing the very ...

Oh man that is awesome! Luv 'em all....

Nice find indeed!!!

Anyone have some inside information on when we can expect the
new matriach?second...third....forth quarter.I hope this
would be out first since they already have the E3 handle mold. :D

thx.

Can't wait for this one...certainly hope someone can give us an idea although from what I have been ...

I have both, and I disagree. Ergos are certainly a matter of preference. However, there's no question that the Raven is slimmer in the hand. The TEN-acious is more hand-filling. It's simply quite a bit more comfortable, for me. ;)

The FFG blade of the TEN-acious is much more appealing to my eye. I ...
