Does anyone know if this first run will have anything on the blade, such as “First Production Run”?
If I except your offer how will it work? This knife looks amazing.

FYI John at tomars told me last night that he will ship to other countries. Certain ones he legally can't. Mainly the middle east and parts of asia. But all of Europe and Canada he will.

Nice, but I checked last night and shipping costs and duties will push this knife to the $200CDN range. I’m gonna just wait till the stores north of the 49th get their supply (probably after Xmas). Love our crappy exchange rate

Been trying to stay away, but the pull is very strong. Couldn't find the link at Tomars. Oops - found it this morning. Merry Christmas to me!
Wish I had the foresight to check the used bookstores in Bellingham and Boulder for Kephart's book in my travels this summer. We've got a few down here, but they never have cool stuff like that.

Please email me at so we can discuss those off of thread. From a basic look, I'm thinking is covering shipping to you and you pay for the knife but let's figure out what it's going to take to get you a knife and figure out what each of us are willing to put into that effort. My biggest goal is getting you a becker knife.

What is a "relieved spine?" Similar to a swedge, of sorts (tapering of the spine)?
Yeah, kinda like the BK5. Cost effective way to mirror the profile of the original.

Expect a great knife and you’ll be one of the first to check it out. You chose wisely.
