Re: S110V Paramilitary 2 has dropped!!!

It could be awhile if the first run is sold out and we're waiting for the second run. Oh well. Something to look forward to. Only other Spydie I'll be buying this year is the GB2. Lean times!

Re: CS Exclusive Orange Paramilitary 2 DLC CTS-XHP

Well I'm a little relieved that I don't want this one. Lol. I'm waiting for my preorder of the 110V. I have a standard version and I think those two will do it for me. I was thinking I had to get the M4 CF version but now I'm thinking maybe not. What's happening to me??? :)

Re: Bradley folder 2

While not news per se, I had a dream about the GB2 last night. In the dream, I remember Sal revealing that the listed price drop was an error and that the GB2 will actually cost a little bit more than the current version. Fortunately, my dreams have a poor track record of predicting the future.

The Poliwog wasn't a big hit but has since become very collectible. I know there are many in that category.

Re: Gayle Bradley discontinued

I hope this can help somebody to make a decision ;) Thanks for that comparo. The GB2 is more refined. Perhaps it loses some of the original's quirkiness. I agree, I like the unique design of the original while the sequel is not as bold. The blade on the GB2 looks a little pointier and I'll probably...

Re: im not sure what to do. harpy tip ?

Yeah that's disappointing. I think I'd sand down the spine to form a new tip. I'd use a belt sander, go slow and cool the blade frequently.

From the photos I've seen, the GB2 liners look a bit thinner but do not have a lockbar cutout.

Re: HAP40 Delica and Endura

Knifeworks just opened up preorder for the Endura HAP40. Is Knifeworks the only source for this knife? I don't see other dealers opening preorders yet. Knifecenter is the only other one that I'm aware of. Knifecenter preorder has been up for a long time so if you preorder now you'll be at the back ...

Anything from Taichung. They all have exceptional fit and finish. I had the Zulu and while I appreciated the build quality, I couldn't get past the recurve.

Re: Would you buy a G10 Centofante 3 or 4 sprint?

I have the 3 and like it. I'd be most interested in a sprint of the Cento 4 with a screw pivot and different colored scales. G-10 would be even better. FFG even better. Unlike some I think the smooth FRN is less desirable than the bi-directional texturing of the Delica. For that reason alone, I'd gi...

Yep, it's awkward on the Southard. I always use the flipper.

I'm starting to get "PM2 fatigue"... It all started with the laminated S90v model... TedP It's funny, I was thinking about the PM2 frenzy that has been going on for awhile and has continued even after the previous shortage ended. I remember the original run of Cutlery Shoppe orange/ctsXHP...
