Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Man, my knaff from DLT will be here tomorrow!!
I chose FedEx 2 day, but still!!
DLT has always been great....& this probably has nothing to do with them but, I'll be darned if this hasn't happened with them before as well.

Man, you can't believe a word of what FedEx says....after telling me it would arrive a day early, this morning they say it will be here tomorrow....
I shouldve known better to believe that early tall tale....

I had the Curahee for a very short time unfortunately good friend saw it and coeected fixed blades, so it went bye bye . I was impressed not quite but close to the original Boker Orca . Dan

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
That's a good lookin knife, Dan!
Looks like it would be comfortable in hand.
Ya know, I've never had a Microtech before
They say the come super sharp outta the box. Which, is always a + imo.
Not too sure how comfy this Alpha will be though
I really like the blade shape. That's what sold me

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
The Curahee felt great in hand and came in different variants , even offered a Tanto . I got mine from a dealer in Texas at a very good price unfortunately they were sold out when I went to replace . Mine came with a great grind . DanMacLaren wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 7:05 amThat's a good lookin knife, Dan!

CKF Rassenti Persian!
Edit: And also this:
Certainly not my typical style, but MidwayUSA is practically giving them away so I had to get one. I'm sure I'll have $99 worth of fun with it.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
I got a custom Rassenti Persian in for sharpening a couple months ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since.
I'm not quite crazy enough to spend $2k for the custom (yet), but I'm just crazy enough to spend $600 for the CKF version.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
We had a bit of a storm here, no electricity for three days, a lot of uprooted trees and branches everywhere roofs gone etc.
At first I used the Bushcraft parang which is one of the best choppers, but it is a bit stocky and I wanted more reach, so I found the Makara which is a longer and thinner blade, at only 3mm it should be a good slasher. It is also unbreakable apparently.
BTW,
This persian is really awesome, congrats!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Some SRK's and an SRK-C.
Black and green are my favorite colors. Today I found out cold steel makes SRK's and SRKC's in that color combo.
I've beaten the **** out of my blacked out ones, they're tough. Couldn't resist grabbing a few of these, especially for the price. $33 and $37 for the compact and full size, respectively.
Very good knives for the $$. They make great beaters.
