Hey, sorry about not responding to your last PM. Apparently I only get emails to thread replies. Anyway, according to tracking the knife was delivered. I hope you love it! Since you were so close I sent it 1 day and it was not that much more to do it that way. It is a knife that will be missed. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Under the foam in the box I included the original receipt of purchase. I don’t think it’s necessary, but it did come from GP knives located here in IL! I thought it should stay with the knife as proof that it was purchased from an official and authorized Microtech dealer. I also left the warranty service receipt that exlplained the work they just did on it. It is the very original box the knife was shipped and purchased in. Microtech offered a new box, but I thought it best to keep the original. Hopefully everything is in order and that you’re happy with it! Thanks again!
 
I was out of town for the weekend, so I just got to open up the knife today.

It's everything I was hoping for. Thanks for a great knife and really quick and easy transaction.

It's kind of funny that it came from GP; I just got a package from them this week too. :)

Thanks again!

I’m really glad you like it. It was my favorite knife, but I finally decided to go big and buy my dream knife when I hurt my arm and couldn’t retract the Hellhound anymore. I could fire it, but could only retract it with my left hand, and my dominant hand is my right. That’s why I sold it, to help pay for its replacement. Anyway, it’s a great store with a huge inventory. If you’ve never gone in person, I highly recommend it if you’re ever by there! Thanks again!

So if you don't mind me asking, what replaced the HH? :)

I don’t mind at all! And well, I don’t have the replacement yet. It’s still being built. It’s the most ludicrously expensive knife I’ve ever purchased (which is why I sold the HH, and why I probably am going to sell a few more of my blades, though I haven’t decided for sure if I will, or which ones), but I desperately wanted one and when I was fast enough to finally get in, I took the opportunity to place a deposit down. I was lucky enough to be fast enough to get in on batch 5 of the G&G Hawk Deadlock. Last email I got was they were 4-6 weeks away from delivery, and that most of the parts for batch 5 were close to done and they were entering the assembly stage. The good thing is, is that the demand for them outweighs the supply, so they don’t really lose their value, so if for some bizarre reason I don’t like it, I should theoretically be able to sell it for what I paid for it. However, I very much doubt I won’t like it. Engineering and fabrication has long been a fascination for me, and this knife was everything I’ve ever wanted in a knife, amazing design and unique mechanism, and opting for the heat treated titanium just makes them totally gorgeous. Basically my first really high end knife. Previously, that HH I sold you was my most expensive knife, so I’ve made quite the jump lol. I just hope I like it as much as I think I will. My biggest concern is my arm. The Deadlock I believe has ball bearings under the slide button, and the springs aren’t as stiff, and as a result it’s supposed to be super smooth and easy, so I should be able to actuate it even with my bad forearm. I could almost work the HH, but was just barely from the strength to retract it. I could work it fine with my left hand, but my right is my dominant hand, and it just wasn’t working for me, so that’s the other reason I parted with the HH.
 
Hah! Called it.

Let me know how you like it when you get it, that one's on my bucket list and we obviously have similar taste in knives. :)

Hope it works out better for you with your arm.

I just got it yesterday. I had to have them hold it for me while I was out of town for thanksgiving family travels. I didn’t want it sitting for a week in the ups office or something lol. This thing is just astounding. I know it was my dream knife and how everyone who’s had one loves it, but to be completely honest I was still very nervous about spending that much on a knife. I still can’t believe I did. The thing is, when you pick it up and fire it, and hold it in your hand and see all the materials, it truly does feel like it’s worth the cost. It’s not only amazing to look at, but mechanically it is as well. The springs are floating inside so you never hear them rattle when firing. Every time it locks up both open and closed, it feels more solid than any other knife I’ve ever used. You can even feel the springs vibrating, but there’s no noise from them as they are suspended. It seriously feels like a mini vault door in my hands. The overall solidness and build quality is just way above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before, even my nicest firearm doesn’t feel as good now lol (even though it was the same price). I’m no multi millionaire or anything. I’m actually a working college student, who’s just picked an unfortunately expensive hobby :P. Regardless, I saved up for years for one of these when I first heard about them. And even when I could afford one, I was still extremely worried if it would be worth it. Not to bash on Microtech, but some of their customs seem way too much for what they are. I remember one they sold was just the regular handle but it had a mirror blade that was supposedly hand done by Tony himself. Well, it was gorgeous but I recall it was like $2500 for it and all it had was a special blade. All of the Deadlocks are hand assembled and tested by Gavin himself and are essentially half that price. I get that there are more Deadlocks than that 1 of 1 Marfione custom, but the Deadlocks have much nicer materials and a very special mechanism so I just always felt that other high end OTFs just weren’t worth it. This one actually seems to back up the price tag. Basically, if you can ever find a way to set aside enough for one, and are serious about collecting cool and especially unique knives, it is absolutely worth it to get one of these. I have no regrets on this one.

Yeah, but I think we all love the feeling of cutting open that box we get in the mail and knowing the exciting thing that’s inside! And in this case, this knife doesn’t exactly lose value. I think I saw one on here optioned with a single edge sell for $1500. That’s more than the doubles sell for new. People are willing to pay more for one because of how hard it is to get one. You have to be insanely fast on the email to get one. So even if I didn’t like it, I basically could have sold it for a profit (which I’m never selling this thing lol). So if you can afford one, there isn’t really a lot of risk involved with buying one. The waiting is what’s bad lol. You wait and wait for the email to come and then you place your deposit (if you’re lucky enough to be fast enough) and then you pay the rest a few weeks later, and then you still wait a few weeks more to actually get it. But, all that time is just building up the excitement so in the end when you finally get to open it the experience is great. Oh and the other bad thing. Being paranoid it was going to get stolen while being shipped. I was really concerned the whole time it was in postage.
