That's probably a temporary charge that will be reversed until the knife is ready to ship.

I've been wanting to try a G10 Dragonfly since I first saw them and I finally have one on the way. Sadly I sold/traded away my Forum Native in the process, but I needed to divest and the Dfly will be enjoyed while the Native just hid in that box. I'm still not sure what I've done...

Yes but do you have an excuse for photographing your knives at work? :D

Cool that they took special care of you.
This reminds me I forgot to send in return shipping with a few knives I sent in. I've been forgetting everyday for weeks, I'm an idiot. :mad:

Hey Paul, I'm curious if you're trial with the new Stretch included the pocket clip since I've seen your posts saying you always remove them and carry inside your backpocket (which I've found to be good advice.) I carry my zdp Stretch clipless and I've grown accustomed to the thin grip. I just took ...

The first Taiwan Mule (S110V as I recall) was ground thinner than typical , but I thought Sal said he'd remedy that in the future . I don't know if this is a Golden Mule or a Taiwan Mule. Edit: Now we need D2 (ingot) and D2 (CPM) Mules for comparison! I think the thin grind was well received. If I ...

Great advice, all! Thanks! I meant to give you this update sooner. The seller emailed me within 10 hrs of my email to him, and said the last time this happened to him he told the buyer to keep the knife and offered him a full refund. He's offering the same to me. I tend to give people the benefit o...

Thread title edited. I bought it in VG-10 with the black g-10 scales. Other than the grittiness and difficulty opening after I owned the knife for a whole hour I really like it. The pocket clip is fantastic deep carry. Light yet very strong, classy looks. I'm glad you came around! Enjoy that knife,...

I'll probably end up sending it in. The reason I 'know' it's not the lanyard tube is the tube has a distinct lesser rattle and the louder rattle only occurs when the knife is fully closed. Now what exactly is yours doing? I should have been more specific. It seems to function perfectly other than th...

Yeah there's a little flex when I press down, but it's most noticeable if I take one index finger on the flipper with the other on the spine; with pressure on the flipper I can feel the blade nudge up and down slightly. Plastic bearings you say? If I had to guess I'd say the bearing(s) is worn down....

I would say to be very careful with it for a while. Did you see the thread where the internal stop broke on someone's Southard? Hmm I remember a blade failure thread with a picture; that was probably the same thread. I hope it isn't something so serious! The stop pin isn't in effect in the closed p...

Dropped my Southard

A couple months ago I dropped my Southard (only a couple feet onto carpet) and afterwards I noticed a rattle when the knife is closed. The lanyard tube rattles slightly so I thought it might be that, but I can tell now that the blade is rattling. If I give the spine a tiny tap it sounds loose. Is it...

To me the Jester, Ladybug, Manbug are all what I call either micro blades or tiny blades and they are nothing more to me than novelties. To me something that small I have very little use for and would probably never use anything smaller than a C-39 Dyad Jr. of which I did carry one of those from ti...

By giving away the eCard, I figured I wouldn't be tempted to buy yet another Junior. :D Ha, I see those two in your new arrivals. I'm realizing now I was off abo...
