Are any vg-10 ones ffg?
Hi Julia, there was an exclusive with pink scales a few years ago (can't remember where) that was FFG. I wanted to buy a couple for my granddaughters (They're still not old enough to be playing with razor sharp folders. Ah, hahaha!) but shipping was ridiculous so i passed.
if it was coated and/or zome like the big brothers, i wouldn't be able to resist. as it is, i'll fight the urge to pick this one up. barely.Buddafucco wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:10 pmIt's only $49. And it matches your user name. It's not even an option for you to not buy it.![]()
Huh, I wonder why if there were problems with those since all the production ones are still sabre ground.Bloke wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:15 pmHi Julia, there was an exclusive with pink scales a few years ago (can't remember where) that was FFG.

The only thing that I can think of is being such thin blade stock perhaps there may be warping/distortion in grinding and heat treatment, but I don't rightly know.
That's kinda what I was thinking. Or maybe too many complaints about broken/bent blades or something similar. Just a guess.

Cutlery Shoppe had a dealer exclusive on the vg10 pink frn Ladybug... Perhaps the ffg blade was also part of the exclusive... (and that's why no one else but CS can have ffg vg10 ladybug?) I never had any issues with mine. I wish all ladybugs were ffg!JuPaul wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:39 pmThat's kinda what I was thinking.

It's wierd, for sure. But ffg or not, I'm holding out for TiCN/zome GITD ladybugs and dragonflies. I was never a big zome fan until those delicas came out.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:25 pmCutlery Shoppe had a dealer exclusive on the vg10 pink frn Ladybug...
