Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Howe's is awesome. I bought two Native 5's from them for $99 each, which is $21 cheaper than anywhere else. I think they're $109 now, but still a great price.

I'm on their email notification list for the Domino, Karahawk and SB Delica.

If my Delica arrives, and I like it, I will probably go for the SB as well…

@Seul:

Then I have the whole definition of "tip up" wrong…

Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh…

You'll love the Delica Seul, I carry mine every day.

Perhaps I'm misreading your posts, but you're happy to have your knife back, right?

[Seul]

Shame!

[Seul]

Idea of buying a Ti-Lock has definitely not been abandoned, though… 

[michaeljcr]

Seul, it might be worth emailing the guys at Heinnie to see if they can get it for you. They're not a supplier right now, but they might be willing to give it a go. Great folks, best knife retailer in the UK. http://www.heinnie.com/

[Seul]

Thanks. Will give it go. But still think proxy'ing one will be the cheapest option… Of course, my Delica is still stuck at customs so it's not the safest option...

@Jii:

I actually just ordered the Böker Nano thanks to the pics of the Curtiss that were posted here :).  I doubt it will live up to the quality of the Dragonfly which really is an amazing knife, but then again it's half the price..

Opened the box, tried to open the blade one handed, didn't work (fixable by loosening the screws though, probably). Got it open using two hands, decent lockback, no blade play. But the finishing on the steel part of the handle - oh my god. Looks like a pack of steel-crunching rats had a go at it. Sooooooooo bad. If it costed 10 or 15 € I'd get it but no way in hell will I accept it on a 50 € knife. Already on it's way back. I think that put me off Böker for life.

Was just about to order a Boker Nano…....think I may switch to a Dragonfly now!

If you have the means, go G10 Dragonfly. It's an amazing piece.

[DougNg]

Both the G10 and FRN Dragonflys are great knives. The only thing that bugs me about the Japanese made Spydies is the edges. They're not the same bevel angle from heel to tip. Don't know why that's the case, but its for both my Japanese Spydies as well as the ones I've seen in pics. It's just me being nitpicky though

Might pick up one of the Sages soonish. Seems like most Spyderco collectors feel the Taiwanese made knives are the best in fit and finish. Want to see what all the fuss is about
