Did you get the new button lock one, or the flipper? I had a flipper and thought it was a great little knife, especially for the price. I'm curious to hear how the button lock one compares.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
No, it’s a plain and will be a user. It came in yesterday and it’s still in my hand. It’s a little stiff and needs a little break in.
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I got the flipper, if I like it too much I'll end up getting the button too.
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I've found that taking them apart and cleaning once or twice really helps. Also - don't tell Mr. Reeve - but I think the action is way better using KPL rather than the flourinated grease.PineyBoy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 10:39 amNo, it’s a plain and will be a user.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Im going to try this next time I disassemble and clean. I’ve always wondered if their was something better then the christo grease.JuPaul wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:49 pmI've found that taking them apart and cleaning once or twice really helps.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
My first Victorinox alox pioneer. Used to love the old Soldier models but lost mine years ago. Finally got around to ordering a replacement.
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I've got two more Bradford G3s inbound. Another in M2 and one in AEB-L. I'm hoping one day he'll release a batch in something exotic like Rex45 or K390.

Got some real special ones in the mail, but not until around November/December. Not saying anything else. :)

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Managed to find a Boker Integral Barlow in stock. I resisted buying the model that uses steel from a Leopard tank barrel, so far at least.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I just got word that my Randall Fireman is enroute to me! It’s going to be a duty user for sure.
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Nice! What did you go with?
I also just received a newsletter from Bradford that they have Rex45 fillet knives for $119. Seeing Rex45 from them surprised me!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Nice choice! DLT?
The only reason I haven't grabbed a sheepsfoot is because I read that they pretty much copied the design of the CRK Insingo blade design to make their sheepsfoot. Since I have the Inkosi Insingo I figured I probably don't need it....BUT, it is the only blade design I'm missing in the Guardian 3
That's cool for you though, because if you like the blade then it may help you spend another $400 on a CRK Insingo someday haha!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Hey that's cool that they copied the insingo. It will actually save me money bc now i don't have to buy an insingo lol. I plan on thinning the edge with my KME if needed. Have you thinned your Bradford?

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Yes I have, with both of them. The 3V I took down to 17dps from around 20dps, and the 4V Wharnie I took from 17dps to 15dps. Both were very easy to work with. I stopped both at a 600 grit finish, then a few passes on the brown rods to finish them up. That Sharpmaker base Pat made for me with the 17dps setting is perfect for the finishing strokes or a microbevel.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 8:24 amHey that's cool that they copied the insingo.
