In reference to the Delica:

We're thinking about a sprint run. Probably with a different color G-10, maybe "smurf blue".

In my experience typical diamond rods are too aggressive to achieve decent results on serrated knives. I have done a number of serrated kitchen knives by planing down the flat side of the blade with a belt sander and then hitting both sides with the corner of a leather belt / green rouge. This would...

I should add that having 100% feedback means next to nothing. I have seen people leave positive feedback for fakes time after time.

I wont buy an item if the seller doesn't post a personal image of the exact knife for sale.

I scored genuine 100% new ti mil for $140. I cant find a picture of a fake Ti mil anywhere but I know if I saw one I would know. A seller could post a picture of a real one and send you a fake one so its best to look at the sellers feedback and see their completed sales. If they have sold a bunch of...

Knife outlet...

Does anybody know how many they had... Why do I need to know? Well, I guess if it was just a handful, I wouldn't feel quite as bad about not being more vigilant about checking the websites. At that price, it seems sort of like an advertising stunt... OK with me--I'll start going to their site every...

Before anyone asks the price was $128 shipped. I wouldn't be surprised if they put more up in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the head's up.

My sentiments exactly. I call it "hard user pricing" :D

I wasn't sure on this one but knifeworks just tipped the scales for me...

It cracks me up when someone gets to know me in person (especially Europeans) and decides that I am "reasonable" and starts in about guns in America. They are befuddled when they realize I am pro nuclear assault danger bad guns.

Im plenty sophisticated...

OR 800 including collectors club pieces.

I'm not sure why Spyderco should take any active management in how other buisnesses sell their knives (as long as they're not selling fakes). I agree that the bundling is a shady practice, but this is an independent buisness. BBS pays Spyderco to manufacture the run, and in turn BBS is feel free to...

I can understand BBS not being able to compete with the lower margin dealers. What I don't understand is why they would commission a matriarch and think they would sell at full msrp.

That's like Honda requiring you to buy a Civic with a TL. Or going to Sears and the guy telling you that you HAVE to buy a microwave with a fridge. WTH. This is unprecedented BUNDLES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BONUSES LIKE A FREE GAME WITH A GAME CONSOLE. NOT A REQUIREMENT TO BUY SOMETHING THEY ARE STUCK W...

I really don't think they will sell. I am one of the people willing to pay up on ebay but I refuse to be managed into buying a knife that I don't want. Who is? Its hard to believe anyone would submit to that.

This is garbage.

I cant think of of combo I would be more excited for. I haven't tried ELMAX yet but I know it has a place in my pocket.
