What "others" are in the mail?
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Deal of the century...CONFIRMED!!! :D
Both of these are legit!! After watching multiple videos on how to spot a fake, as well as a tear down on each, they are definitely CRK's!
Seller was very responsive, also sent me his DLT order/receipts. The small has a couple very small snail trails, the large is basically perfect. He sharpened both, with very nice edges I might add. He sold them for cheap because he didn't have the box, sharpened them and just wanted some cash. I guess I saw these at just the right time!

Wow!! Very nice, I was largely suspect about the great deal...
That's awesome that it worked out so well!
So it goes.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you. You definitely ate the bear! Happy to see a good deal be true.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 4:13 pmDeal of the century...CONFIRMED!!! :D

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Very nice! Looks like a couple of good users. Glad you finally got a Large Sebbie, and a slim carry PJ at that!
I only have one with double lugs that I got recently. It's funny because I always thought I would like it better being symmetrical, but after using Sebenzas with only one side for a long time I definitely prefer the single sided. The double lug is somehow in the way of my index finger when I grip the knife to open it. I also like the detail that the back of the lug matches the lanyard pin.
Bonus that they already sharpened them nicely and erased that convex edge.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I've been searching and searching for a Large 21 or 31, so I'm very happy to get one in such a deal! I took them to my WorkSharp Precision Adjustable sharpener to see how low he went with them, because those are some pretty hogged off bevels...It was below the 15dps that system goes to. I put the rods in my custom designed Sharpmaker base and the bevels hit perfectly at 12dps on both! I don't have anything below 14-15dps so I'm pretty excited to give that Large a try! I'm honestly not sure if I'll keep the small, since I've already got the one with the inlays.
Could be some good trade bait on the Swap page!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Another Medford. This time a new USMC Fighter Flipper. She's a Van Gogh Starry Starry Night themed one as well. I gotta say, MKT are really killin it right now. The new Tumble finish they have is awesome!
And they've seemed to have solved their lockstick problems which is great. They are expensive but, they are without doubt tye best craftsmanship and smoothest actions I've ever handled. But, take that with a grain of salt because there's so many knives I haven't handled either.
I'll also say that for me anyways, there not the type of knives I would use as an EDC. For me they are just really collectible and just fun to handle and talk about.
That's not to say you couldn't though because they're built incredibly strong.
Anyways, I'll post up some pics when she gets here.

Been wanting a Gemini. Decided I deserved one, after a trying week.

Cold Steel 30U Ultimate hunter. It seems like a lot of knife for the price. Also a Click-n-Cut, but they shipped the wrong one. I wanted the folding version to check out, but was sent the non-folding version.

Artisan Cutlery Small Centauri. I'm a sucker for Ray Laconico designs and I wanted to try a different front flipper. So one's now inbound to me. A $50 KC giftcard helped fund it :)

I also have a Civivi Elementum D2 coming. For $50 I've wanted to try one

GiantMouse Ace Grand. I was eager to try it out after seeing several forum members giving it high marks.

Thanks! It'll be two or more weeks before it reaches my side of the globe --yet I keep checking the tracking status every morning :)

Spartan Harsey Custom inbound! I’ll be listing my KJ PM2 and Sandrin Torino Tungsten Carbide tomorrow for good prices on the exchange, just a heads up.
