I believe SOG was issued by SAF in the past. SOG has the best pliers.

As for serrations - you need to understand the mechanics behind sharpening serrations. At the factory, the serrations are ground in by using a wheel with the serration pattern ground in the wheel - so some have the spyderco type serrations some have the cold steel type etc. In order to sharpen serrations properly, you need to be able to get into the edge of the serrations which means that the contact point of the abrasive has to be similar or smaller in diameter to each 'serration'.

Most serrations sharpeners are either a rod type (conical) (DMT) so that you only need one rod to get into each serration. Some use the corners of a stone to 'slide' in and out of each serration (spyderco sharpmaker, gatco etc).

I like the sharpmaker as it is versatile - you can sharpen both the serrations and the plain edge in one stroke. To strop the serration (if you want to polish it a little, although it kinda defeats the point), just use a small diameter shoelace, rub some stropping compound in it and slide it up and down each serration.

[I hate serrations but they have their place for cutting nylon rope]. Personally I would send it back to factory - I've never seen anyone sharpen serrations better than factory, although a lot of steel is removed at factory.

Or in the case of SOG, you should be able to buy a replacement blade. In that case, you might even be able to choose the plain edge instead to save you trouble for future sharpening.

CGW - folders should be ok. fixed blades (outside of kitchen knives) - no so far, but they were big uns. I'm not sure of smallish fixies, but you don't want to risk it - if you use CGW and they don't deliver, you'll have to pay a fair bit to get it returned to Amazon.

Never used Vpost.

Hi
Never used vpost, they won't sent for you. It won't works. They have a lot of restriction. U will end up need return to seller in Amazon or discard package. Think they open each package.

They are some sites sent directly, according to them successfully received by buyer. I did try in other country and it successfully received., but keep in mind, knife must folded and in box.. Last advise, don't use package forwarder like vpost, u will end up lost everything.

Thanks elingtey.

Any international sites that ship direct to sg? Spyerdco Endura 4 Wave, ESEE Laser Strike and Izula. Edgepedition has the ESEEs, it's an alternative I might use.

I checked CGW,complies with IATA regulations barring "swords and knives", vPOST don't do knives.

Need another sales channel to get the stuff.

Hello doctor hunt, i believe most of the site Do ship to Singapore, however u need to take notes that its illegal to bring certain types of knife into singapore. (Flipper etc) but i dont think that the customs know the difference is some knifes. Just make sure you check the with singapore customs.

Hi Dr Hunt,

I highly recommend KnifeCenter. The fast and secure shipment is worth the premium you pay. Shipped an ESEE 4 with no problems at all.

Hi Dr Hunt,
Another online store "urbantoolhaus" local Singapore site also provide free delivery, just not sure they have the knife u wanted. Honestly, I like spring assistant and automatic knife, but it consider illegal over here... For me, I like the knife "opening fast" .. lol

If you like fast opening knives, why not get some high-end flippers? Some are just as fast as autos :s12:

Yea.. if well designed and precisely made.. a lot of time even thumb stud or hole type opening can be pretty quick... boils down down to finger dexterity and whether knife is suited to one's hand size.

For the money, I'm not sure if that is a good choice. The steel is only 420HC, which isn't all that great unless it is Buck's/Bos heat treat.

Hello,
Got a couple of nice folders sitting in my safe collecting dust =:p so tossing it out there if anyone is interested. Asking for what I have in them (approximately that is):

For the collectors :)

- ZT801 stonewashed version. Elmax. All perfect. NIB. USD210 via paypal.
- ZT0392 limited edition stonewashed/working finish. CTS204P. All perfect. NIB. USD500 via paypal.

And some users and fixies for the users or adventurers :)

- Enzobirk folding puukko customized with a zero grind and poboy emerson style. S30V. USD300 via paypal.
- CAS custom forged hunter-fighter in sanmai steel (fixed blade) sold
- Big Chris Bolo (13" blade) - a real brute for your adventures. CPM3V. USD550 via paypal.

I'll absorb the 4.5% paypal fees ;)

If you're nice and buy more than one, I'll discount further or throw in some freebies.

THanks for looking - all items are legal to own. All have delicious steel and all are razor sharp and ready for action.
