Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
If this ends up being a Shaman my head will explode.
Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
looks like it could be a manix
Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
It's something with a hump and straight text instead of curved. That eliminates the Shaman, Para 3, Manix 2, Manix XL, Native, Chief, etc. It looks like a PM2.
Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
Most likely not a Shaman because of the shape of the front of the scale. It could be Para3 or PM2 (or many others)
... I like weird ...

Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
The Para 3 has curved text. The print looks like Golden, so definitely not a Delica.
Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
If you push the image there appears to be finger choil, so Delica most likely not.

Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
The choice to go with Elmax is interesting. I was wanting to try Elmax for quite awhile but now it seems a bit dated.
I thought I remembered Shawn making some interesting comments about it....

^ There's a lot more discussion if you search
I'll guess I'll wait and see what this knife is before deciding whether or not to buy based on steel alone

Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
Have no fear. The Shaman has curved text, and the print is closer to the opening hole.

Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
Yeah, they definitely have somebody doing a crappy Photoshop job on some of their catalog mockups. All of mine have curved text, including the Rex sprint, whose catalog mockup had straight text.
Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
I think Elmax is pretty underrated. I'm excited to see what model this is, and definitely interested if it's a model I like. I won't be into a PM2 or Para3, but I'd throw down for a Native or Manix. Not sure about the Shaman or Chief...probably not? Military would probably be a buy...
Basically, I'm interested enough that if it's in a platform I like I'll do it, but if it's a platform I'm not super into, I'll skip it.

That's a Janisong.
Well maybe not, that top curve could be the bottom of a thumb hole.

Subscribing...
To bad they didn't give more warning, I just spent $1k at Home Depot yesterday on ceiling fans. Not sure I can justify another knife vs honey must do list...
