Yea i contacted them and they'll be sending it over. At least their response is really fast =)
Time for annual maintenance of my collection. Annual maintenance mean cleaning, re-oiling and inspection of my knives. I do a headcount and take stock of their present market value. Start with medium sized Spydies first. It's going to take a few days to sort through everything.
Mad about the Manix... Well, not all of them, for some reason the Moonglow version doesn't turn me on... the hollow ground models too except for the pink ones.
Total 16 excluding one original version in large. I should have gotten more blues and oranges. The house move was a real pain. my knives are all over the place and it's been a month and we still have not completed unpacking. Some of these will be going to eBay to fund new knives. With the USD the way it is it's a good time to buy. I'm finally getting a custom display case for my knives after much haggling with the missus. Currently awaiting quotations.

feeling like letting go of my sog seal pup elite, $100 anyone?
I guess it depends on weather conditions. Sometimes the shipment knifeworks use arrive very fast. Occassionaly it can take up to 2 weeks.
Wah boring lah lidat. No diff frm USPS First Class. Cos it normally arrive
Within 7-9 days...and juz USD12. Knn eh. Pek chek man.
This thread recently like very quiet hor. How come ah?
Bro, if you want to sell let us have the privilege to have the offer before put on eBay leh. I don't have any Manix in my collection...yet.
Anyway, it's nice to see your posts again. I've read a lot of your past posts on this thread and learned quite a lot from you and some of the guys here.
It's not that i don't want to give you guys first dibs but I'm selling for a profit... It's the only way I can get myself new knives. Like what someone said... Not elite mah. I used to buy 1-2 knives a month but I've slowed down a bit and I'm trying to consolidate my collection and be more focused on what I collect.
After the recent annual stock count (haven't completed maintenance work yet) I've realised my collection has exceeded 70 knives. I've set a maximum of 100 knives at any one time to be in my collection (excluding users). Current knives in the user roll is 5. Now some may say I'm hoarding and scream "drawer queens" but let's face it... my 3 year old Dragonfly fit's the bill for most of my EDC needs and I'm a bloody school teacher! LOL! It's about as big as a knife as I'd ever dare to pull out in front of the kids and I've done so plenty of times in the lab and during field trips.
Recently I've noticed a lot of slow downs in package arrival... Don't know what is up but I know it is not due to SingPost. At a minimum try to insist on 1st class priority international. I've had packages lost in transit when using 1st class which is basically the cheapest way of shipping.
Anyone had issues like being checked for knives lately? Might be worth of a discussion.
Knife not cheap, I not elite.. cannot every week buy new knife and post peekture. plus besides knife, I'm sure we all have other knife & tool related hobbies too..
Wah...u really got alot in your collections. I guess the guys here can understand your plight. And most if not all here are not elite man. Hahahaha...
By the way just a qn. For those blades that we bought online, how to we show proof of purchase when we bring to overseas for use like Malaysia? Coming back will be a problem man even when you drive and they find a folder.
And let's say we bring to Ubin, they scan bags these days and will surely stop you when they see a knife, though we bring it for camping. From what I know, they will ask for proof of purchase and cannot be more than 3 inch blade right?
anyone have Spyderco Fine or Ultra Fine hone?
