Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

New-to-me stag GEC 77. Fourth 77 I've owned - really like the pattern. With the sawcut bone model I added an EO notch to.

 

The spring just snapped on my Kershaw Cryo . I EMailed The Kershaw customer relations a couple of weeks ago & haven't heard from them .They only me a Email that confirmed the contact. Have any of you guys had any dealings with the Kershaw Co. like this ? Spring/torsion bar problems ? Did they send you a new spring ?

Thanks,
mellodog....mike

 

Try calling? Email is the least reliable way to do anything IMO.

 

We get up fairly early, it's whether I go back to sleep or not that is the question! I have another nail in my tire so I'll be headed to the tire shop in a bit for my free repair.

 

Only since I bought those damned Hankook's! I think I had 6 repairs on them in the 7 months I had them installed, and these Cooper's will have had 2 repairs since new. Both sets had screw punctures within the first week, so I knocked the new off pretty quick.

Thank God for free tire repair/free tire replacement plans. I wouldn't have the time to patch these myself, even if I wanted. Particularly not when I pick up 2 nails in less than a week. Luckily I have a good relationship with America's Tire, now.. haha

 

Damn is your driveway just a bed of rusty nails and screws? lol

 

I work next to a roofing company and I do a decent amount of work miles. Also, bad luck!

 

That sucks! At least you have free tire repairs!

 

They asked me to send in my leek when that happened & they sent me a whole new knife. I'm sure that's what will happen. I'd give them a call & see if you can get an RMA.

 

Hey @Polymerhead - what do those GECs run roughly?

 

Most GECs run $60 to $150 based on size, number of blades and covers.

 

Made a sheath for the Condor Bushlore this past weekend. Tek Lok right onto the sheath was a bit handle heavy, so I had to cut and shape a stand-off for the Tek Lok to get it balanced for when I carry scout style. Added a ferro rod holder as well. That little bit of a curve in the body of the sheath was later straightened out with a little heat and reshaping. Let me know what you think.

 

That came out great. Are you interested in a sheath project? For a fixed blade with TekLok.

 

What's the knife?

 

Fällkniven F1. About the same size as your Bushlore.

Pretty much identical features to the sheath for it, as well. Scout style orientation with ferro rod loop.

 

I don't have a Fallkniven F1, so you'd have to send me yours. Keep in mind I'm a novice at this stuff but getting better. Do you want the big tek lok so it can fit on a 2" belt, or do you want the baby one?

 

I'll PM you later on when I'm ready and we can see if we can work something out!

 

You got it.

 

So, you knife guys, how much is a clean Randall no. 1 worth right now, sheath is clean and has the sharpening stone. Its got an antler handle on it. It's going up for an auction that I'm gonna have a friend at that will bid for me. Here is the knife

 

Well.. they start at $375 new. Collectors pay more than users do, so it's not particularly easy to answer.

Stag handle upgrade is $65.
