I'm still rooting to either get a kapara or smock before Christmas this year. God willing that is. As it stands both have been unavailable for purchase shortly after their initial release here in the Netherlands, up to this day. The ikuchi hasn't even landed yet. Did manage to snatch a random rex 45...

So, I'm from the Netherlands and my most recent reply was about acquiring a ikuchi. Unfortunately that was changed to a back burner order, eta in 2 months. Last I checked the kapara is still out of stock everywhere as well. Bit unhappy with it Ofcourse. I've been eyeing the ikuchi since it was annou...

Scratch by previous message. We have basically one big supplier in the Netherlands so it was easy searching for the ikuchi. Just now it gave me a hit, to a page offering the ikuchi for purchase and expected to come in on in about 3 days from now. Its probably still in the transit, so I'm gonna have ...

They dropped in Europe also. Ordered mine today. Really now? Not here in the Netherlands unf. Didn't see it on the coming soon pages neither :( The kapara hasn't been back up for purchase for months neither. I was actually just about to buy a sebenza from the money I stored up from waiting since th...

The sage has quickly become my favourite knife in its size and design market. I'm interested in the lw version but I actually like the way the sage 5 feels, both in hand while opened or closed. Such a nice thing to hold. Mine is extremely smooth now without play at all. Took a humongous amount of ti...

I remember these non Sal videos. They did not impress me then nor now. The Sharpmaker has its place for certain as do the diamond duck foot and the golden stone. I own and use all 3. If reprofiling to no lower than 15 Degrees nothing beats the Wicked edge Pro3. If reprofiling below 15 Degrees or se...

Did you rub the rods together to break the surface the way Sal says to in his video? It makes a difference. Unrelated but a funny thing I noticed today; Eric is growing up looking a lot like sal in the sharpmaker video. In the YouTube thumbnail I did a double check haha! I'll leave this here for ne...

Soms sturdy fish in your parts haha!

Howdy all, My production sample just came in, so I guess I’m slightly ahead of the curve. ;) 5992CC75-9CCF-4F6E-BA5B-AE99EF4223D2.png Hope those folks interested find it as fun to cut AND fidget with as I am... having trouble getting anything else done this evening with the Ikuchi around to play wi...

Hi Dodgie, I'll forward this post to Charlynn to give her a "heads-up". I'm sure she will take good care of you. sal Dear Sal once again I'm amazed by your personal involvement in this community, and I'm very thankful for the way you handled my issue. I'll be contacting her tomorrow. I'm ...

Mint Condition Cruwear Military with the grey g10 2013 edition for 155 euro recently. Even had the original grind, box, gritty from years of being a safe queen. For Reference. a normal military goes for 230 euro retail here. Edit: and one time I ordered a sage 5, but they charged me the price of a b...

Hi Wolf, Welcome to our forum. We consider these situations on a case by case basis. sal Finally an awnser I can work with. I'm a bit taken aback by all the negativity, to be honest. Not from you, Mr glesser, but the overall consensus is that if you're European and you are in need of new screws, ba...

There's something satisfying about smooth action. And I in general, backlock or compression or even axis if you will. I usually try to get the most out of my knives, I'll play around with washers, tweak a little here, do a little of that. To me it's in the same vein as achieving maximum sharpness ou...

https://i.imgur.com/yEcYBmx.jpg Been carrying it every day nowadays. Its such a great knife but from the factory out it reaches nowhere near its full potential. In theory it is a winner in all respects, thin stock blade, superb ergonomics, perfect weight and a compression lock. In reality the actio...

Wowie, if I hadn't already bought a as good as new 2013 cruwear mili last month I would be all over this (even as a eu citizen paying a premium with shipping and import costs). I ended up liking the military way way more then expected, I always assumed that it was too big for me but I couldn't let c...

Smiles oh yeah you got bit by the Spyder real hard! I already had it bad, but I never warmed up to the military. No more then a few days ago I stated I was content with my collection.. But the sprint cruwear military was a golden opportunity to see what the hype about the military was all about. I ...

Bit of patina never hurt nobody. On the right side you can even make out my finger prints here and there haha.
