Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Dayum! Nice Spydie collection!

 

Thanks bro, I'm a knife nut! That's just a few of them though.

 

Lol... same here! I have traded up a bit (a few 2 for 1) and down to around 100 or so now! I have been trading a bunch on knife swap on reddit! Waiting on a PM2 and a Bugout now!

I used to show show my wife a knife and she would be like oh that’s nice and maybe ask a couple questions (how much) and now she says you know I don’t care why do you bother showing me.

 

I've been over on Bladeforums since '08 have over 325 feedback rating and have bought/sold/traded many many knives over the years!

 

I've been carrying this for about a week, Benchmade Contego m390. I like it so much I bought a second one in blue/black.

 

Nice, Knifeworks exclusives!

 

Got this from an uncle a while back

 

My new Civivi. I love this knife.

 

Thinking Of You....

 

You have too many... send some my way!

 

That's a few of them!

 

I’m sure the build quality and QC are worth the money but I’m worried I wouldn’t love it subjectively. I thought I would love the Bugout but when I actually handled one at a shop I knew it wasn’t for me.

On top of that I’ve seen a few people have their Sebenzas seized at the border by CBP and picking one up from a Canadian dealer is a little over 1000$ CAD.


As an added rant.....

I bought a Manix from a member here for a good deal a few months back. Customs seized it even though you can buy it here from many different brick and mortar stores. I never found out why because I never got any paperwork.

They took forever to process the knife and send out the paperwork about the seizure. A month after I was supposed to get the knife I still had no letter and had to move into my new apartment. Getting the mail forwarded to my new place was like $60 and shipping the knife back to seller would have been another $50. At that point whatever money I would get back wasn’t worth the headache and just let it go. I’m sure whatever agent found it is enjoying his new toy

Anyways, I took it as a relatively cheap lesson about shipping across the border and got a P.O. box in Montana.

 

The subjective thing is very hard to measure. I hear you on the Bugout. I don't understand their popularity except those who have them certainly do like them.

Don't know what to say about the CBP thing. I can think of a variety of reasons why something might be held but certainly, I would expect you to be notified of the reason why-I hope.

 

How do you like the Thrill? I have had my eye on it and been waiting for DLT Trading to start selling it. Been debating between the Thrill and Mnandi and can’t make up my mind. I know the two are not in the same league, but I love my Sebenza 21 which is why I keep leaning towards the Mnandi.

The clip mechanism on the Thrill though intrigues me.

 

I got some Flytanium carbon fiber scales in for my PM2 today. Fit and finish are excellent!

 

I know right! they look awesome.
Nice looking knife you have.

Be Safe

Thanks Dan, I'm quite pleased with them. I normally mod my Spydies with Allen Putman scales, but have seen a lot Flytanium, so decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did!

 

Attempting to make custom micarta scales for my tenacious. Wish me luck
