Black Friday buys

Ordered a Tangram Santa Fe, it arrived this morning.


I ordered those too, still waiting on them though.

Santa Fe is nice. I got a couple at $20 awhile back. I might grind the tips to more of a sheep foot style. One I carried had the pocket clip bend just from me sitting around in a chair.

I'm glad the Sharpies arrived the next day, as I was out of mascara. :)

I had a few items in my cart and backed out as well.... Though I did buy some knives (posted earlier) but from a different vendor.

To me it didn't seem like the sale prices were that much different if at all from what they usually are. I started reading posts from others on FB and noticed Black Friday isn't what it used to be so here's to hoping after Christmas sales are better.
 
No pickups since the Massdrop Laconico Keen last week but I’m now working with two knife makers here to make something special. Both will be completed sometime in the spring.

A third has yet to be confirmed. I’m on a roll.
 
I'm holding out for the REX 45 Millie and the Amalgam.

Did pick up a 2T SSD under $300. Don't rush out, they're supposed to be cheaper next year.
 
Damn! I should not have read that post. I got weak. I ordered a BM 808 full size, cos I'm looking for a challenger for my Spyderco Shaman.
 
Purchased a ZT 920 from Blade HQ. Appears to be a very solid knife and the price was right. I prefer the larger folders. I really like my Manix 2, Shaman and my larger Bench made Presideo. Bought a Ontario small version and the larger knifes feel much better in hand. I am new to collecting knives and I buy the ones that strike my fancy plus some on line reviews to confirm my decisions.
 
I ordered a Brous Blades Sniper with blue handle and satin blade from his website. In the same day i caught the pocket clip of the frame lock Sniper on something and bent it out. o_O
 
Haven't bought a lot this year but I couldn't pass on some of the deals up north.Picked up a police 4, zdp-189 endura and a CS broken skull.
 
I did not buy any knife from dealers on thxgiving There are just not any attractive deals.
 
I ended up going for BladeHQ's deal of a hap 40 Spyderco Lum Chinese with camo Para 3 for $221.99. I've been eyeing the Lum Chinese for a while now, especially with Hap40 and this looked like my last chance to score one NIB...wasn't planning on the purchase and my wife kinda-sorta-totally hates me for doing it, but I'm glad i did :angel: :devil:

In part that may be because it was Black Friday, which is a bigger deal for brick and mortar stores than for online retailers. I’ll be interested to see if the deals are even better on cyber Monday tomorrow.

I didn't even look...deleted all the emails, unopened. Don't need any more knives - should probably sell more of the ones I have.
(Don't need any more axes, either; but I have been thinking about buying a couple.)
