Re: The DAMAUKPK Project: Damasteel UK Penknife UKPK



Extrapolating from the Damasteel urban with street price of 280$, this one would be no less than 350$. Everything went up. By quite a lot.


Yeah. I think that is kind of what I am expecting. Hopefully it won't be too inflated by the time it gets to the UK.

I don't really want to pay the ...

I am just happy it is happening.

I would love to know price, when it will be out, and which damasteely it will be.

Any speculators want to comment?

Re: Bark River Knives closing?

I've read a thread about Bark River mislabeling steels. It was in the bladeforum about 10y ago or so. A few people went testing their blades and what they got was far off from what was labeled. I don't know if that was true, I mean anyone can write anything for whatever reason. But I've noticed ...

Re: Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Knife Diamond Mesh Natural G-10 (MagnaCut)

Passing on these as well. Already have the 2 regular production magnacuts and the Crucible exclusive. Maybe if it was micarta scales. Don't know really, jade g10 was never my thing in first place. Best of luck to all.

Re: Erasteel Factory Tour and PM Steel Making




What happened that Crucible lost money? How did such a company come to lose so much money it had to close down? It seems it was a very craetive force in the steel industry. What happened?

Re: Drunken now or never?


Anyone here have a Drunken?

I have had a pull the trigger put the safety back on reaction to this knife for years due to the price, which in the last 6 or 7 years has only gone up. To be expected for what I think it may be.

Is what I see online near or at Chris Reeve quality?

Re: Jeff Loffer from Cutlery Shoppe the new PM2 in REX 121

I confirm. Back in stock. Wharnie is oos, but standard pm2 is still in stock. Maybe they drop it in batches to give people a chance? Anyways, I believe I scored. Although I don't believe it till I get the tracking number.

I just got on the notification list. ;) :bug-red-white


The catch with that is, when it drops and if it's highly sought after and a limited run...it will sell out before you get your email. In the past we've seen some exclusives/sprints sell out in literally a minute. I don't think the game ...

Re: St Nicks Knives - CPM REX76 Blue Jean Micarta Shaman


I like seen no more REX76 releases as I don’t have the steel and it’s more chances to get some.


Not really sure we'll see anymore rex 76 although I remain optimistic. Last year I was surprised when GP Knives dropped the pm2 with satin and coated blade. I mean, apart from the mule in rex 76, I ...

I feel you. This one set me back a little over 600$, including shipping and local customs of about 28‰. But I had to buy it because with the time passing is getting even more difficult to stumble upon one for ...

My grail Spyderco

Hello all. Just wanted to share with all the lovely people in the forum that I finally found my Spyderco grail knife - the one and only Hundred Pacer. In my opinion a very underestimated knife. Yes it has a bit of untraditional profile and it's a bit wide but then again, I'm a big boy with wide ...

Really want to get my hands on one, but unfortunately I won't be able to. St. Nicks refuses to send it out to Bulgaria with my brother in law. Where the majority of my collection is. And they won't allow me to use forwarding services. I've emailed them and got a response of some sort that it's ...
