A gift from a blade forum member who has been beyond generous!!!!!

Here his note!!!!

, I slipped a stocking stuffer in with your NL4. It's a proof-of-concept mule (small knife) that was made a few years ago by a PhD metallurgy candidate in Norway or Sweden. I can't remember which. He used his expertise and love of knives to create an elaborate heat treat recipe for 80CRV2 that perfectly balances strength, toughness and edge holding. I bought it years ago just to support the guy, and never got around to testing it

If anyone remembers or recognizes this please do shout out...😉

I can only assume this’n is still on the way to me. I won’t go in to detail about the outrageous debacle that this shipment has become.

A DBC (David Beaver) Jester in full Ti/CPM154.

After much worry and woe, it eventually turned up here in Louisville. Hope springs eternal I guess…
It was “Out for Delivery” last Thursday.
lol.

I feel your pain. This type situation has become standard operating procedure with this inept portion of the gov. They have lost many items of mine to the point where if I purchase on the secondary market here, I will ask if the seller would permit me to pay more for shipping and any inconvenience they encounter, for shipping via UPS. I would gladly pay a little more in hopes to avoid potential lost items from usps.

I hope your knife arrives soon and in new condition (looks new in pic).
 
Another recent arrival . . . a LNIB plain Ti Magnacut CRK Sebenza 31:

If I can ever reach him, the plan is to ship this one to Kyle Vallotton for conversion into a DA auto. Will probably resell it if that doesn't happen.

-------------------------------------------------

PS: I've recently been on an unplanned buying binge.

This is 1 of 5 knives already received this month & the delivery of 3 (which should arrive before Xmas) is still pending.

No plans to buy any more knives this month, but it's a buyer's market & "good deals" for knives that I have an interest in buying just keep popping up. 🤷‍♂️

We are not your wife.

Explanations are unnecessary.

We're addicts too.
