Received this from Bogdan S earlier this month and have decided not to keep it. Bogdan does great work with some very basis machines and this knife a great example of a very nice truely hand made knife. Because it’s hand made it not perfect though and there are some flaws/quirks that I feel I should disclose. First the blade is not centered (the blade leans to the non-lock side) and after tuning it the best I can, it is as close to center while still having the ability to slow roll it out (with one of the most satisfying “thwacks” I’ve ever heard). If you want a more flickable action it will move a bit more off center. If I were going to keep it I would Loctite the pivot where it’s at now and just enjoy it. There is a good amount of lock stick as well, but that really does bother me. There is a little bit of speckling on the blade since this is W2 steel and the pocket clip has two dings. I have cut some card board with this knife and have carried it one day. One last thing is there is what Bogdan calls “carbide segregations” near the cutting edge you should be able to see in the pictures, that he says are only superficial. Comes with a G&G Hawk soft pouch.
This is a true hand made knife and I have actually really grown to like it with all of its quarks, but I don’t think I want to take care of a carbon steel blade as an EDC. I payed $310 for the knife, $25 to fit a clip and $40 for tariffs. I’m asking $300 shipped within the CONUS PayPal FF, no notes please.
First I’ll take it gets it. I will not email you, so if you see one it’s a scam. Please communicate all sensitive information by DM only. Knife is available until I mark it sold.
