I think I'm mostly through my collecting phase. Seems sad to keep a bunch of great knives unused in a vault. I guess that's what happens when you get older and priorities start to change lol
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I was thinking $350 to $400 as a want to go to knife but at $430 to $730 is just going over the 'hill' for the average Buyer.!
I have to have 2 of these though as one is a user and the other hits the Collection Safe as it just keeps on growing bigger
and better every year.!** { if it's a Spydie ~~ I am going to buy.* }
KnifeCenter has the Nirvana on preorder for $429.95 which is 40% off MSRP ($719.95).
Nirvana was the 2015 Blade Show Imported Knife Of The Year.
I wish they would have put on some nicer pivot screws. Something like what was used on the Schempp Tuff would have been nice. Just something other than the standard hardware that looks like they pulled it off of the shelf from Lowes.
Same thing for the pocket clip. For the price point they're going for, I'd have liked to see a nice machined clip instead of the standard off the shelf clip.
They went to so much trouble with the rest of the details. They hid the stop pin well. They did an awesome monolithic Ti handle. Then it's almost like they lost interest in designing it and just slapped on a standard clip and standard pivot screws. Again, I'd have expected those details to be better on a knife like this that costs as much as it does.
