Ted, thank's for the great photos! I am so envious!

I am really looking forward to the UK penknife. Does anybody know when this one will be available? Besides that one my wish-list just grew a little bit larger :-)

Greetings, Robert

Users: Only PE! Collectibles: Mostly PE but if it is a "once in a lifetime" chance also CE and SE. Serrations don't work for me as EDC. You can't slice food well, opening letters is also a pain and peeling an apple is almost impossible so my choice is PE! Just my 2 cents... Greetings, Robert

Oh, by the way... I've just seen the pic of the abused Standard again and thought it could use a more "used" than "abused" look :-) <img src="http://www.messerforum.net/_album/data/069059b7ef840f0c74a814ec9237b6ec/246_p2479.jpg"> Greetings, Robert Edited by - Rob on 3/3...

Nothing to thank for, Ted! As I said - I really enjoyed taking part in this great project of yours! Besides that editing pictures of knives that were only rumors until you've sent me some high-res shots of them was great fun and very educational too :-) @4ster: is there any chance of a version of th...

Fozzy, Sorry, I don't want to sound like a smart-ass, but Titanium IS oxidizing even in it's pure form. If you scratch it, the material will immediately react with the air's oxygen and form a very thin layer of Titaniumoxide. The reaction is quite similar to Aluminium. When Ti is anodized, the colou...

I also think that he possibly will ship to the US. I also bought an Executive from him. The knife was in mint condition and therefore a bargain but shipment was a bit pricy (about 2/3 of what I payed for the knife). So shipment to the US might be much more expensive than within Europe... Greetings, ...

Hi!

I just looked at the clips of my C01SATU, C03 and C04. The writing on their clips says "foreign pats pend", so maybe there was just one ore two runs with the misspelled writing on them.
