Once the taxman rolls up looking for his lucre you gotta start charging it. Soon everyone will be charging tax. The customer pays the tax and the overhead incurred by those being asked to be unpaid tax collectors.

Back on subject, I received my shipping notification within a few hours of ordering. Nice.

What’s weird is 3 pages of chitchat prior to the sale and after the sale just a handful of posts. Things have changed on the forum.

I've noticed that about the forum lately too Jim. The whole vibe feels off, or a little different the past few months. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Spring time hobby changes? I'm certainly spending more of my time looking at motorcycle gear, bicycle parts, camping trips, etc right now than I was a few months ago. But the knife market in general seems as hot as ever as far as I can tell though.

Yeah true. I’ve been busy with gardening and pool maintenance. I’m sure the next reveal will provide a spark to the forum

Have one in-bound as well. And I can't believe how fast I got a shipping notice. I've got Rex 45 on a para 3 and like the steel. But this will be my first DLC blade. I'm not huge on the color but will give it a shot. It will pair nicely with my Millenium Falcon G-shock at least. Too bad didn't have it for Star Wars day but there's always next year!

If this is still here at the end of the day I might grab one. I like the SPY27 version I got yesterday.

I have one on the way as well.

This knife didn't generate the buzz that I thought it would.

Seems people are into larger knives these days.

Maybe it's the too many knives syndrome. I started the year being very selective. That's out the window for the past few months now!

Oh my, it's a good one ^^. I'm happy to see it's still available, I hope it's gonna do like the M4 at BladeHQ.

I'm holding onto hope for ya! I imagine it'll be more popular than the BHQ M4, just from a pure aesthetic perspective, but it is encouraging that it wasn't gone quickly!

I told myself I wouldn't get any new knives. But I am wanting another N5, just can't decide between this or the Mint M4.

Yeah I think people go through phases. I know I do. I still enjoy the knife hobby but I'm kind of maxed out on knives and there's only so much to really talk about. I have several other interests too. This is still one of my favorite forums to visit. So I try to look in and see what's going on

That said, I did receive my new Native 5 today and I like it much better than I thought I would. I'm not usually a fan of white but I really like it with the black steel
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Never owned any coated blade, so even if I have a Rex45 N5 (satin) on the way soon, I'll try to pick this one up. Seems like it might stay available a couple of weeks.
