What is 425 Modified?

This may be a really dumb question, but what kind of steels are 420 Modified and 425 Modified and what is their use? I saw them on the steel chart guide and I just was wondering. As always, thanks all.

Re: a little (REC) help for down under

In the CS Zome thread Warstein recommends a freight forwarder that he has had good luck with forwarding to Europe. They may be able to help you out as well.

Re: Upcoming Shaman Exclusives??

I am guessing that within the next couple of years we will see so many different Shaman 'Exclusives' that most people will be tired of it. Kinda like the 800 runs of the Para 3.

Re: Really Spyderco ... where are all those Ikuchi ?

I had one. It is a very, very cool and versatile knife. I sold mine because it was also very difficult to open. When the CQI model is released I will buy one again almost immediately. But I hope they sharpen the opening threads and not dull them at the risk of loosening the crisp detent and make it ...

Re: A few words on the Introvert

I appreciate it as well. Very cool round up of a knife that I have wondered about the realities of the function.

Really not a Zome fan, but somehow I couldn't resist the "ugly" ones :D [img] Wow! What is the green/toxic delica? That thing looks awesome. I have never seen that one. The S30v Zome. Something about it makes me want to bust out a tie dye from back in the day. This thread makes me laugh. ...

Re: CS Orange Zome Hap40 Endura

I had one and I sold it. I may not be the best person to respond but I bought it because it looked like such a great deal and I sold it because I thought it is truly one of the ugliest knives I have ever seen. Pictures do not do justice to how ugly the knife is in person. However, the guy I sold it ...

Re: ORANGE Dragonfly? What do the ladies think?

Just to follow up on what Doc Dan mentioned....Orange isn't a preferred color for me but there are a couple of places that you can still pick up a purple Dfly. They are around MSRP though. I would buy a pink Dfly if Spyderco made another run of them. I prefer large knives but it's not always appropr...

I don't know if it counts but my sister carries an Orange frame handgun. She would probably like one to match her .380.

Re: BBS DLC Paramilitary 2 Exclusive?

I would be willing to pay full MSRP if this combo was released in a Military. I would feel like I was being over charged but ultimately I have other solid functional knives and this is a luxury item that's an individual monetary choice. It's why we have at least a semblance of a free market.

Re: BBS DLC Paramilitary 2 Exclusive?

I likely won't order one but it's a really nice looking knife. Kudos to BBS for keeping these runs going. I don't particularly agree with their business model but at least they are helping keep some variety out there.

No problems here. The recent Urban aside, I believe the best edges come out of Maniago though.

Re: Collectors Club Question?

My Elmax Urban, a British Blades exclusive, came from Country Knives with a CC# 113V. I’d rather not have CC#s. I suppose I’m just the kind of buyer CK banks on: desperate afi who must have a knife now rare and will tolerate MSRP and adornments for the privilege. And, indeed, I’m glad to have this ...

Collectors Club Question?

I recently bought a couple of knives from Country Knives. I have spoken with them and they are great people. My question is do retailers have their own CC membership? Both were European issue only and showed up with CC numbers. Just kind of wondering. Thanks folks.

DLT has after market clips to replace the wire clips. I have not actually used one so I am not sure how well they work.
Sixty-four, ninety-nine + S&H ... oof.
Yeah. It's why I haven't used one.....
