One thing about micarta - textured, at least - is that it will darken and change color a bit as it absorbs the oils from your skin/lube/protective oils. Same when other substances get on it. I personally like that, but maybe not everyone will. I've actually never tried to clean the oil stains off a...

Are you guys missing the one listed for $559.99? $399.95 is a deal! It is the cheapest one currently available in the world! :p Stupid and sickening. Boo! :mad: Over on BladeForums, Sal said: They are not shipping yet. We have only shipped to collectors and Premieres. sal Just as an FYI. Makes me t...

Just as an FYI. Makes me think the DLT cart opening up earlier was perhaps a glitch? Hope so.

It sucks that this thread got sidetracked into a flipper tirade, however, it seems it would be pretty hard not to talk about that part of the "community" on this release. :rolleyes: I'm personally hoping to see the main online dealers at least limiting it to one per household, so it makes ...

Micarta is nearly as bombproof as well. However, due to the exposed ends of the (usually) cotton fibers, something like a glue spill will "set" into the fibers, and won't be as easy to remove. However, if you have "unbuffed" micarta, a quick and light sanding with some 120 grit p...

DLT just had the "Add to Cart" button active, but I couldn't complete check-out in time. :mad:

There’s a place selling at $320

Oh wow. What a joke! :rolleyes:

Simply looks like the difference between linen and canvas micarta (the "L" and the "C" in the sample photos). The Shaman is canvas micarta, and your Native is linen.

I didn't realize this forum was so soft on flippers. :rolleyes: Or is it that maybe some of the folks above ARE the flippers, so they feel they have to defend the practice? :rolleyes: Please, gimme a break. :rolleyes: I don't care how you do the math, it's not real hard. :rolleyes: I wouldn't necess...

Y'all new to sprint runs or what? Lol, no, not at all. Not me anyway. (Been on BladeForums since '98, with my current handle since '04, so I've been around the block a few times, lol.) But I AM sick and tired of the flippers. :mad: I'll tell you what. If I don't like mine, I'll sell it to you for o...

I see it as proof that folks have had it with the flippers. :eek: I know it will be tough, but if people could resist the urge to pay these exorbitant prices, the flippers would wither away and die off. A few extra bucks for shipping, etc. is one thing, but an extra $100 is just pure bull. :rolleyes...

Odd. Strangely enough, while my M4 Shaman has seen a good bit of pocket time since I got it, it is one of the few pocket knives I've had that I haven't caught the clip on something and bent it.

I hope that any flipper who manages to get ahold of any of these, and tries to flip it for a profit, gets leprosy and loses all their digits. :rolleyes: No, I'm not a fan of flippers. :mad: I refuse to bend to that extortion. Yeah, I want one. And I have a gut feeling I won't get one. :( Love my M4 ...

Looks pretty good all things considered.

Indeed! Kind of my point here.

Oh well, not the end of the world. :D It still cuts...

My new M4 Shaman. I'm really liking this knife!!! :cool: Hope to see more exclusives of this model, in some other steels. I could see these kicking the PM2's out of my pocket. :eek: Very comfortable design, and a nice, beefy blade that still cuts quite well. Definitely enjoying mine! :D Forced pati...

Totally my fault too. :( Was doing some Spring cleaning outside today, when I dropped the knife, and it landed on concrete. :eek: It landed butt first, mostly on the handle scale, and broke the Diamondwood scale as you can see in the picture. :mad: IMG_3911.jpg I can live with that, despite all the ...
