Mine didn't come with a display box as memento... since it's illegal to carry outside and frankly it has limited functions outside of those gungho slit-a-sentry war movie scene.. I used it as a letter opener around the house :)

Ok nevermind me.. just trying to chalk up to a 100 post to post pictures...

thanks guys! looks like theres lot of work to be done! i'll try it out with the wd40 first! about rustproofing, use mineral oil would be preferred or maybe just wd40?

hahaha painting it flat black sounds really awesome!

rustproofing - if you're gonna paint it, then painting it is rustproofing it. If you gonna etch it with hot vinegar, then the etch/patina helps to rustproof. I would apply a wax like renaissance wax after etching to make it even more rust-resistant. Or else you can oil it as well.

WD40 is not a anti-corrosion spray - it is a water displacer and doesn't work well as a anti-corrosion treatment. You can use singer oil, lithium grease, gun oil, tuff glide, breakfree clp, militec, eezox, fishing reel oil etc etc. If you're going to use it to cut food up, then you should use a food-safe oil.

Mineral oil (for eg. Ikea) is generally very thick and also attracts a lot of gunk. some oils are less viscous and may be easier to apply and dries nicer.

If you're just going to put it back in the safe, I recommend renaissance wax - a little goes a long way, and you can buff it a little after it dries.

Or if u have extra money to burn, then this i saw in black tactical may just work.

Depends on what kinds of knives u r buying... If u r talking abt folders, unlikely to kena. If big fixed blades, maybe.

Buy this by this week, and I"ll include a nice zero ground Kitchen mini yanagiba knife. It' deadly sharp and it's made from shirogami steel with mild steel welded onto it.

Prices are all set based on last year's USD exchange rate and it's going up up up.

Since it's coming up to Lunar New Year, I also have a bunch of unused, unworn nice black shoes (all Italian) in size 41 (US8.5-9) for sale. All are nice narrow designs, good quality leather, leather soles. Enquire $200 and above cash and carry.

Nothing longer than 12" total. For fixed that includes the tang.
They are stickler on this aspect.. just got it direct from the horse's mouth last week @ paya lebar when clearing some things.

Folders so far from Knifecenter-- no issue. Friend of mine bought a few recently in separate shipments.

Thanks ! Appreciate this info.

The 12 inch is blade length or the overall length of the blade (include handle)

What happens if u buy one that violates the regulation?
