Jotsingh Khalsa

[rainman]

I love this :spyder: ! I guess MSRP was pretty high on these, or liscensing.
Anyway, what are these worth thes days?
I picked one up with the clip ripped out, and don't want to "customize" it if it would be worth a lot of $ in the future. It's SE, and other then the clip, looks to be in 98%, if not 99%.
I want to repair the area that the clip was (will be really easy), then re-mount the clip tip up. This will make it sort of wave open; I've tried this in my watch-pocket and it works just fine.
I could also drill the old holes into the liner (they were just in the micarta), and make it like new.
What are some opinions, please.
Thanks,
---Tom
PS, I havn't been around cause I've been sicker then I have been in years for over a week, I'm still trying to kick this thing. I hate being sick, but then, who doesn't)

Hope you start to feel better :)

Maybe some pics would help :D

That's a knife I would love to get PE though!

Go for it :D

It's your knife now, and it's already not mint since the clip ripped out, so any future value it might have is already shot anyway. You've got nothing to lose.

I say customize it, but if you do that, be advised that pictures will be necessary.

The guy had PE, too, with the same clip problem
If I couldve I would have gotten both. $$ was a problem :o

Hello Rainman, sorry to hear you have not been well. I hope things look up soon.

When you say "ripped" out, how much of the micarta was damaged ? If only the threads, you may be able to repair this with a slow setting epoxy. But use a good brand, such as JB Weld.

Alternatively, look for another one with, say, a broken blade, and rob the back scale from this one. I know the chances of finding a Jot with major damage are slim, but you just never know.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks, I've been feeling better since I can eat again. :)

Thanks I think I'll be 80% by Wed.
The micarta looks almost like someone just removed the screws (except that there is a tiny amount of chipping). The scews were not tapped into the liner. I realize that it is a fine line getting the screws to "just" go into the liner, but not so far that the blade wont open :D ;the holes stop at the liner.
I will either dye some epoxy-like-sustance; or use JB Weld
Thanks all,

This is one model I am surprised that I did not see mentioned in the "Comeback Candidates" thread. I would love to see the Khalsa back in S30V. Also make it available in colored Micarta Handles.

This knife almost makes me think; that's what the Gunting must have looked like when he was a kid :D

o no, I just meant that for a price reference point for you.

also for the guy that said he wanted one in plain edge.

Aloha rainman,

Prayers sent to you my friend...you WILL get better soon.

Now, congrats on your "JKS"...(sorry about not knowing what that meant earlier, but I have been severely overworked :o )

Keep us posted and, "Smile when you think of it...the clip is gone, that's alllllllllll!" :o :p

God bless and take care :cool:

I can't see it happening. It is a cool little knife but not as useful as just about any other :spyder: . There are so many others that would be better in a Sprint run resurrection.
If one was to read all your posts JD, one might get the impression that you are a rabid Spyderco fan. :p I surmise it would be difficult to find any model that didn't have the phrase, "all time classic", "comeback candidate", or "better than the stock market" somehow linked to it...

No that's not true. Here is a list of Spyders that I don't care if they ever bring back or not. Delica, Endura, Terzuola, Pro Grip, Goddard, Pro Venator, Michael Walker, Q, D'Alton Toad, Pegasus, Meerkat, Vesuvius, ATR, Salsa, Spydercard, Kiwi, Assist II. I could add several to that as well. There are a lot of Spydercos I like; but don't love. You have probably only ever heard me say that statement about 12 to 14 models. Just ask Walter Kronkite if you don't believe me :rolleyes: :spyder:
