lol must have high post count = long term collector?
I didn't want to bother her for the pics so I took them myself.
No, it's not super mirror finished or made from pure chrome, just the crappy exposure. Forgive me as anything more high-tech than a piece of metal and a handle is anathema to me.
Like lonerider said, I've no inclination to photograph my stuff. Not when there are so many professionally taken photographs out there that I can use.
The link dies in a week, I think it's for the best. I don't want people to have misconceptions about these fine knives because of my crummy photography skills.
Also I'll go work on my post count, so that the rest of my collection can become real. Looks like I can only have 3 real knives now. I don't mean to be a dick, but this is too funny to let up
Well ya the sebbies are expensive. Why don't you get a bradley alias II instead? It's basically like a small sebenza at half the price.
The DDR is sweet, blade spine is 0.15", CPM S30V and actuation is lighting fast. I'm glad I snatched it up. $400 from $525, what a steal. Currently my best buy, but that might change when I get my tighe breaker
My pics are ****ty so here's some proper pics of the DDR Trigger Maze and the Tighe breaker.
Yes, I'm unashamed to admit I have wet dreams over them every night
Yes, anyone who wants to fondle is more than welcomed, but rule of you touch mine I touch yours applies
Kart, although u claim to be a new collector, i can see that u are already deeply poisoned liao hahaha. If you keep this up sooner or later u r gona put down a 8 bill for one hehehe.
My folders collection are not as heavy weight as yours though, mostly spydercos and kershaws, but i've got a really nice fixed blade coming in and kana really tempted to pull the trigger on another, but that is really gona screw up my budget how, to do or not to do?
Actually Spydercos are very collectible... And they aren't what I consider cheap knives either; at least not all of them. My Sprint Run Manix was bought for $150 last year. It's now selling at at the 220-250 range right now. If I have 2 of them I'd consider selling but I'll probably hang on to them till the kids need to go to college.
I'm limiting myself to the MBC ones. So far I got the P'kal and Gunting. Need the Lil'Temperance and Yojimbo then I'll be done till they roll a new one out.
By the way, I think I hit another jackpot on BF. Strider GG SNG $285, too good to be true?
Don't forget the Civillian... One of the nastiest MBC blade around. $285 for a used SNG would be very decent, for a new one it's almost unheard of.
I'm not using Spyderco's definition of MBC, which if I'm not mistaken, refers only to lock strength. I'm getting blades designed by real martial artists. It's my other hobby.
Well, the guy claimed 99% condition. If true, good as new for me. I usually see SNGs going for around the $400 range. Does anyone here actually own a strider? I've heard good things and not so good things. At that price point for a knife that size, that is not a full custom or a art knife, you'd think it could slice by pressure wave alone.
All they had were axis locks, which the tester actuated and swung the blade out
For Spyderco MBC does not refer specifically to lock strength... more of blade shape and indexing. If you get a Civilian the paperwork that comes with it says specifically that it is not a utility knife.
As for the SNG, I've handled one... Very chunky blade. Grind was a bit too thick for me as I prefer slicers. Fit and finish can be an issue as quite a few forum members have mentioned lock-up was good but blade centering and handle finishing was not perfect but Strider has always insisted that their knives are meant to be used as such these were considered non-issues. If I dole out $400 I'd expect perfect fit and finish. My advise is to ask for plenty of high resolution photos before transferring the monies to the seller.
You should put up some knife photos if you are planning to sell. I never buy without looking at photos.
I had issues bringing in Axis knives too. The old coot insisted it was a flick knife. Just be glad they do not do a 100% check.
How about the ball locks on the manix? would it be a problem with customs? Anyway i do like axis locks but looking thru the forums it seems that there are some ppl who experience broken omega springs. That would be a no no for survivor applications imho, although you could always stuff something in it to lock the blade.
When you actuate an Axis the blade pops out just so slightly which was why he felt they were flick knives. This doesn't happen with the BBL. Doubt I'd need a knife for survival in SG but when I'm overseas camping and hiking I carry a fixed blade and a small folder as backup.

Holy crap... I like this one
$400 = USD or SGD?
Welcome here Kart!
Yup you ain't going to use knives here unless they are for everyday tasks, eg. opening boxes, cutting paper, etc. Maybe whittling a pencil?
I would love to see some pics of the Umnumzaan and the SOG Fatcat! (I'm a huge SOG fan btw.)
