Everyone's latest acquisitions!

C CHNeal wait - you got the wrong knife?? I was just about to say you made a good choice with the insingo micarta inkosi (I made the same choice AFTER trying a few other CRKs), and now you're posting a 'zaan!?!? At least it's the tanto...I'll be interested to see how you like it. (I've been tempted by the tanto 'zaan, myself; but haven't purchased one because I figure the odds favor it sitting in the box for a while, then getting sold)

Just got my Maxamet PM2 and these beautiful blue/purp Metonboss scales, and this blue Lil Matriarch (which is the sharpest out of box Spydie I've had) to add to my reverse-S collection!! Amazing! I wanna put some wooden flower scales on the Maxamet as a forever-cutting gentleman folder, and put a tougher steel on the Titanium, but I am at a loss which between BD1N, S45, REX 45 and Cruwear! Maybe I need two Cruwear blades! Any rec is helpful.

So about my above posted “ new uncarried new old stock 2014 Umnumzaan” , it isn’t….

Snapped a couple of quick photos stuck it in my pocket and went back to work. Got home to give her a good once over and the fun began.

Started with a ripped box that I saw in the sellers photos and didn’t really care about. Then noticed the grease and thread lock had been used and two of the three wrench’s were missing. I saw when I opened it it had a few love marks, this thing has been carried, but who here hasn’t played with a knife and still considered it new?
But wait there’s more..damn knife was made in 2020! Box, card all paper work not for this knife!
Contacted the seller whom I was pretty sure was reselling a knife from a collection he bought as that’s what this guy does and I have bought from him before I think with decent results. As I suspected, reseller gave it the once over, kinda fibbed on the brand new un-carried part and listed it for a pretty decent price for todays market. I paid a good deal less then his asking to begin with so I wasnt gouged. Seller seem upset with him self on the phone when I called and was very apologetic. After talking we agreed to a partial refund and I would keep the knife I bought to become a user anyway so the story has a happy ending, I have the knife I wanted with a better heat treat then planned and the seller doesn't have to try a sell a used knife with no box and papers for a price that is less then he paid!

Be careful on the secondary market folks. I think this is the last knife Ill buy from other then the exchange here ( except for the large Inkosi I have inbound of course.)
