When I first got into knives I spent hours and hours pouring over online search results, looking at pictures, watching auction sites, etc. Just looking at all the different brands and models. I found a knife that I just had to have- but could never find! An import from Finland with less than a handful of US dealers, none of which kept a regular stock or could be bothered to order one for me. Except for the pccasional glimpse on an auction site at an outrageous price I never could run one to ground. Lo and behold yesterday I busted out my Google Fu and searched them up again finding a site that listed several models- including the one I wanted!- at the best prices I have seen, but all out of stock. I emailed the site for gits and shiggles, not expecting a response. I recieved a very nice response within an hour letting me know the knives had just been recieved and would be listed today. I got another email this morning saying they were listed and I ordered one immediately. A short while later I recieved another email along with shipping verification. (Not wanting to offend the forum gods I can't name the site.)
So there it is, after almost 2 years of searching, an Enzo Birk is on its way to me, CF, no bolsters, D2 and Scandi grind. Not the most expensive or glamorous, but I sure have wanted one. And it sure was hard to track down. I'm jittery with anticipation.
Next on my list? Klotzli Sailor. Or Fantoni Hide. Or...
Edited:
Got it today and absolutely love it! Here's some porn for you!
With some other CF goodness:
And getting ready for a night out!
This thing is definately the sharpest knife I've ever recieved. It is the proverbial "scary sharp." Buttery smooth and feels good in the hand. Just ordered a Ti lanyard tube from TiSurvival to dangle from it. I think it will be damn near the perfect edc. And as a bonus I didn't know they had moved the pocket clip to be deep carry. The original placement was the only thing I didn't like about it. Can't wait to show this beauty off at the knife shop tomorrow. I always get a kick out of dangling something in front of him he's never seen before.
