Thanks! But after looking through the selection, now I'm conflicted. Should I do micarta or should I go for full bronze titanium?? The ti scales are really expensive, but wow they'd look good.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I'm honestly not even looking into it because I know I'll like it and want one. That one scale she posted is incredible!! But we're getting our garage floor replaced soon and should really focus on that project for now. I admire my own self restraint right now haha!

So many super nice knives and options available these days!
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
It is such a nice bright bronze! So this model flips really well. Totally solid action any way I try. But I recently bought, and pretty quickly sold, a Hinderer Half Track that was much more finicky. A light switch flip would totally fail. You really had to push button it. I sold it more because I didn't like the ergos, but that was annoying, too. I've heard other models can be that way, too. But now the new models come with the tri-way pivot so you can do a lot to get the action where you want it, apparently. I have yet to mess with one, though.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 11:53 amDang!!! That bronze looks incredible! A friend of mine at work has a couple Hinderers and I don't know what's up with them...but neither have good action. You have to give it a nice wrist flick along with the flipper in order to get them to lock up. Their clean and not all gunked up either. He has the titanium clip side models...that bronze though, WOW! :eek:

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
When you're right, you're right! And I had a bunch of points at DLT, so that helped.
The Half Track I sold had a "battle bronze" clip side, but I like this "stonewash" bronze way better. The battle bronze looked pretty dull, imo. The stonewash shows fingerprints more, but it's easy enough to wipe it off, and I like the patina look it gets.

Oh Julia, it's gonna look just incredible on down the road ( not that it already doesn't! ) but, you know what I mean.JuPaul wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 9:46 pmWhen you're right, you're right! And I had a bunch of points at DLT, so that helped.

No kidding, I like that so good, I'm gonna try and snag one like it, the next time a batch comes out.
Can't wait to see your when ready Julia!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Finally going to add a Bugout to the collection. Got the plain blue one.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
The Bugout has really grown on me, and it's my husband's favorite edc now. Definitely a great one to try out, although I prefer it with g10 or ti scales.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I really wish I could of got the DLT exclusive. I see they still have the DLC blade in stock but I’m cool with plain Jane for $130!
Josh
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Yeah. Just a plain jane. And if I like it, I will get a damascus. No inlays.
Do you have any?

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Yeah, I pretty recently got into CRKs along with a couple other people on here. I got a sebenza 21 with platan inlays first, then an inkosi with the Wilson Combat milling, and then an Umnumzaan. Really love them all. The plain janes are really beautiful, though, and add on a damascus blade...totally gorgeous.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
i've been waiting to buy an ikuchi and now they're out of stock. if the restocking of everything else is any indication of how long i'll be waiting, it'll be quite a while.
in the meantime, i went the complete opposite way and ordered the dlt exclusive 4max scout. i've been wanting a 4max scout for a while too, but i couldn't resist the exclusive colorway.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I only wish. And I thought I don't like tantos.
(it definitely belongs on a Spyderco forum I just didn't know where else to put this. Maybe there should be a thread called "Desirables")
