Re: CPM Rex 45 Para 2 !!

Oso Grande showed in stock but by the time I completed an order it showed only available for pre-order.

I called to make sure I got one and was confirmed I got the last one. Unbelievable how fast these are selling.

Re: Is Everyone Sleeping?? Burled G10 Manix 2 is Out...

Agreed this color scheme is not to my taste. As mentioned, the G10 burl/swirl in a different color combo and a satin blade could be the ticket.

Plus I'm only lukewarm on the Manix to begin with.

Re: One of the most beautiful knives ever: Nishijin Dragonfly

It's called Nishijin because the weave recalls style of the fabric by that name. It is not made of natural fabric like micarta. My understanding it's carbon fiber with glass fibers woven in. Like all carbon fiber it's impregnated with a plastic resin to form a composite which in this case has a smoo...

Re: CPM Rex 45 Para 2 !!

When were they released?? I had subscribed for an e-mail update from bladeHQ and never got the email!! That sucks!! Anybody knows where I might find one?? Thanks, L My guess is the quantity was so limited at BladeHQ, Knife Center, etc they didn't bother to notify anyone. You pretty much had to be c...

Re: Delica HAP40/SUS410 TiCN with red G10 Exclusive

The letter in the box mentions the backspacer is stainless steel. Upon close inspection it doesn't look like steel to me.

Re: Delica HAP40/SUS410 TiCN with red G10 Exclusive

Nice packaging and some swag thrown in too! St. Nick's Knives provided a great experience. The G10 is a dark red. It's a hard color to capture accurately. These two pictures are a good representation of how it looks in real life. I looked at the backspacer through my jewelers loupe. I'm pretty confi...

Re: One of the most beautiful knives ever: Nishijin Dragonfly

This didn't turn out too bad for a first attempt. The weave really catches the light.

Is that translucent G10?
I believe someone poster earlier (or on another forum) that the G10 is translucent.

This Delica is expensive but it has a lot of nice details. St. Nick's Knives said yes to every option on this one.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

10% seems so meh these days. 20% or bust!! Lol, I was just gonna say the same thing. I don’t get out of bed for less than 15%. :D :D Always the challenge with discounts. Offer them too much and it becomes the new normal. It's a great way to drive traffic and sales in the short-term but over the lon...

Re: Delica HAP40/SUS410 TiCN with red G10 Exclusive

Come on guys, seriously? The backspacer in nearly all likelihood is black G10! Red G10 handles, black G10 backspacer - this isn’t rocket science here :D I called it earlier lol I don't think it is G10. Doesn't have that layered machined look to it. Looks molded. The mystery continues! The liners lo...

Just got an email from St. Nick's Knives that delivery is today. A day earlier than expected. Hat's off to SNK for the fast shipping and keeping the customer updated.

Glamor shots will be posted soon.
