It is great to see a fellow South African on the forum. I have opted to get the sage 2 over the Para 2 and Manix 2. I am ordering off http://www.have2have.co.za/ and the prices are great because there isn't a huge mark-up price like there is at most South African shops. I actually live in the ...

I would love a Ti Millie but is over the size limit where I live (10cm or 3.9 inches) plus it is too expensive and unavailable. I live in South Africa you see and can only buy what is available.

Need Help! Chokwe or Leafstorm?

Sorry to bother you all, but I have to make a decision. I want a high-end spydie with a Ti framelock. I have a sage 2 arriving tomorrow and am contemplating whether to get the larger chokwe or smaller leafstorm to go with it. I definitely want a unique knife that is uber smooth and fun to play with ...

Living in South Africa, there isn't a huge selection of knives. Between the models I have said there is no price difference an are far more expensive than in the U.S. And shipping from the U.S is more expensive(duty+VAT) and our postal service is dodgey... Stuff gets "lost"! Just seen a leafstorm an ...

What to get first?

I am debating whether to get the standard manix 2 or the standard paramilitary 2... Before you answer and say get both consider this...
