      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...

        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.

        AIAN HA-TO!

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

              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

                You can't say I didn't try to change your mind… I'll just say it one more time: FUCK BOKER.

                  I just ordered what could very well be my favorite knife ever…The Spyderco Techno 😘 I seriously think, this will take over the Caly 3 I've been carrying for months as my new EDC. I can't wait to carry this little beast!!!

                  I really, really wish I hadn't seen this post…..

                      My modest collection:

                      Spyderco Sage III, Sandstorm custom folder (Carbon fiber! woo), & Swiss Army knife I've had since I was nine. Not pictured is a Kershaw scallion that lives in the coin pocket, and a Swisstool Spirit in a belt pouch.


                      …I'll freely admit the colour was a major deciding factor for this one. 😛

                          Getting a patina on a knife is almost as much fun as watching the fades happen on a nice bit of denim.

                                Just ordered another Delica, this time from the UK (thanks for the link Michael)... Getting a refund for the one that didn't show up... Weary of ordering another one in the States (so much cheaper), so sucked it up and paid the extra...  😠

                                  Haha do it!!! It's completely worth the price. I just contacted Cuscadi about getting their orange back spacer. Let's hope I'll be able to get it.

                                  They're amazing. The Techno is my first and it won't be my last. I think their F&F is the best out of all the production places.

                                  I'm thinking about putting some paracord on my Techno to give it a nice accent. What would you guys recommend? Also, let's talk about lube 😛 What do you guys use to keep your pivot nice and smooth?
