Just received my new Blade HQ Exclusive 21 with CF inlays and WOW its sweet. They are now not clear coating the carbon fiber inlays and it looks awesome. Anyone else purchase one from Blade HQ recently? I have both clear coated and non-clear coated models and I'm really liking the new look. Inlays have a more natural feel similar to there micarta inlays.

So I headed over to BladeHQ with the intent to pick up a large Inkosi w/ CF inlays and...Out of Stock :(
 
Yeah pics please. Didn't know they weren't polishing them and curious how they look.
 
Here's a few pics. They came and went in and out of stock all models in 4 days with on!y 4 to 6 available per model.

Ohhhh you said polished inlays. I thought you meant scales. Didn't realize CF was polished.
 
Here are a few more pics. Still debating on whether or not to keep it!!! o_O

I sat there in your forsale page for about 5 minutes debating whether to tell you "I'll take it". Thanks for taking away the temptation.

LOL! Yes, I had something else come up that I've wanted as well, and that's why I thought of selling it.

The pictures really don't do the knife any justice. It's absolutely stunning in real life! This is also the smoothest factory CRK I've ever had as well. I think they must take some extra time on these dealer exclusives as you can just feel that there is some extra time put into it to really make it perfect.

Finally, I've never felt the polished CF scales, but these unfinished (or matte, or whatever they do now) ones feel great. It's like they give the knife a bit more traction in the hand.

I would have preferred silver pins on this one...

Normally I'd be with you on the silver lugs, however on this one I think the Blue is perfect and breaks up all that silver nicely. If this was all silver except for the CF inlays, I think that would be a little *too* much silver.
