....cos thats when the knives i just ordered come! i'm gettin the SE military that i've been promising myself along with the PE calypso jr. that you guys persuaded me to get, i also ordered a SOG seal2000 cos i don't have any good fixed blades, if its good enough for the navy seals its good enough for me! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> the nice bloke on the phone is sending a leatherman micra too as a free gift! can't wait till it comes friday (if it doesn't arrive i'll do a kraziecurtis and won't be held accountable for my actions)

Wow!
Man, you have a ton of goodies comin' in! I thought I was doing good getting a Meerkat and "Q" in the same week. You'll enjoy the Leatherman Micra, I never leave home without it. Little booger is great for the little projects that come up from time to time.
Good luck with the SOG!

Congrats on the Spydies!

I received my Starmate, CF Dragonfly, & Q this week and I'm after a pair of Crickets and a Meerkat before Christmas.

I LOVE my Leatherman Micra.(Finally found it)
I never leave home without it. Just wish it was made by Spyderco. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

ruxton,

Goodies make a soul feel at bliss. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The Micra is an excellent little tool. I carry mine every day with my apartment keys, and I have used it extensively. It is handy, small, and very sturdy. Enjoy!

Ruxton,
Which shop are buying from? - I wish the Knifecenter would give me a freebie after the amount of dosh I've spent with them this month!.

Yes the Micra is one of the most useful pocket tools you can carry.

Calypso - I'm awaiting delivery of my C54BMP Micarta handled Calypso from John Jensen via Worldwideknives.

8No. Spydies down...how many more to go?

LOL this is typical... evidently they are due monday/tuesday not friday, mum told me wrong *grumbles have to be 18 to order myself* neway i ordered them from heinnie haynes, they are maybe a little overpriced but it was the only one i could find that had all the stuff i wantred, was in the UK and took orders by phone.
the military was £121.95
the seal2000 was £116.95
and the calypso was £54.95
they can be found at www.heinnie.com
i've ordered from them before, they are fairly good, the only reason i got the micra is cos my mum is super cheeky and asked for a discount (well it was worth a try!) they are UK based obviously and can be called on 0870 7407070
does anyone have a seal2000, its the first non-spyderco i've bought for ages, i've heard the steel isn't too good.

The Seal2000 knife steel is 440 (same steel as the Military) which is supposed to hold its edge longer. If it passed the Navy Seals tests - it must be good!. Do you get a sheath with it?.
