I really do wish this thread was about the release of this knife and not what it has turned into. You guys can start your own flipper debate thread in off topic and talk each other in circles and I promise I won't get in the way.

A. Men. Brutha!

S30V just isn't exciting. I've never disliked it though. Maybe more divisive is VG10. I have a like/hate relationship with that steel. ;) Not to derail, but is there a CQI in the works for the Ikuchi tip poking people issue? I would already own that with S30V if not for all those bloody finger repor...

Thx @Monty.

And I still have this thread set to alerts you bunch of Chatty Kathy’s. You are stressing me out with all the notifications.

I was considering starting a “Shaman Drop Alerts Only” thread, but that may be worse trying to monitor 2 threads.

Looks like it's about to melt their server down anyway...

Have to assume they're getting multiple allotments and have more coming. I believe that's how distribution has worked in the past.

Yeah, I was really surprised we didn't see any surface yesterday.

@bagsnatcher Hasn't really gotten started. I believe most of what was referenced above is the Factory Outlet stock. These just started shipping to dealers last Fri.

I’ve come to prefer the backlock. It’s strong and doesn’t interrupt or compromise any handle real estate where it matters (around the fingers and fore grip).

Oof. I really like Rex45. If it was paired with micarta, I could possibly keep my finger off the trigger a while longer. Just buy both and swap the scales :cool: Very interested in seeing this Rosewood model, and the price point. I'll most likely jump on that one. I find myself grabbing a satin and...

I dunno I think I could go the rest of my life and never see another thread about titanium frame lock stick and I'd be just fine. It seems to invite the nitpickers.

...and spine whackers.

Just say no to bearings on pocket knives. ;) It’s all personal preference of course. I just got a Chef a couple weeks back and it hasn’t left my pocket. Great EDC. My only real concern is the late lockup and how that will wear over time. I’ve heard reports of it going to 100%. Mine came at about 70%...

I like the idea Darby. I picked up something similar this year. 4.3" of 5/32 Cruwear.

That is an outstanding knife. Enjoy!

Thanks man.

It's not about perfection for me. Variety is fun, both in steels and models.

NATIVE! That's it?

As far as dealer stock goes, but you can probably get a Cruwear Delica right now on the BF Exchange. They've been popping up about once/wk.

Wonderful test and photos! I have this knife but have not chopped any wood with it. I have to do more research on 4V but thought that I would start in this forum. Anyone have any links to great info on 4V? Has anyone any idea of the HRC for this knife? Can anyone compare and contrast 4V to S35VN an...

Thanks for posting Bloke. I still can’t quite get my head around the handle design. I had the same initial impression of the handle as you when I held one, so I appreciate you sharing some observations from actual use. I try to keep an open mind on these things. I’ve found in the past, when I though...

Don't get me wrong, I think very highly of M4. I think it is funny though the people who admit they have never tried Rex45, yet want to champion M4. I guess all you can say about that is that people resist change and new things. I had the same thought. I think it’s important to note that the propos...
