Just bought my most expensive knife

Yep, you did good! Wayfarer #808 here. Eugene did one of his first Wayfarers with Snakewood handles for me.
You'll love your Olamic. :thumbup:

I really like the design of the compact and 247
The 247 may be in my price range so it is really tempting :)

At the moment my benchmark for flipping action are zt0801 and ZT0562
Does someone has a 247 and either of the above ZT for comparison ?

She is a beauty, I'm going to have similar style built.
Can you show other views ex:backspacer?
How much does it weight in oz?
Are bolsters Ti or SS?
What type of steel?
 
I'd actually recently inquired about a one-off wayfarer myself which will be by and large my 1st high end folder and most expensive knife; and while "that Eugene guy" was quick to respond initially, I'm still waiting to hear back regarding estimated price and wait time... ;)

Still waiting patiently though, beautiful knife (knives). One of my favorite knife porns is pics of olamic makings.
 
I've been kicking one around myself... just missed out on one from a non-BF dealer that was a bronze-anodized stonewash over sculpted scales... but there was hints of dark purple in the anodization that made the handle look like an oil film, and the clip was orange peeled... gorgeous. Never seen one like it, but I missed it in my indecision. :(

Blah, me too. Stupid phone auto corrected it. I don't have an ETA yet but I can't imagine it would take much longer than Saturday.


EDIT: Ah, they just gave me a date of Friday. Woohoo!
 
Im a postal employee and im not excited they shipped it through my company lol. Oh the shit I have seen lol
 
It's out for delivery, I keep checking the status to see if it was delivered so I can run home at lunch and pick it up :thumbup:
 
I'm currently gathering funds for a 247; it'll be my next big knife purchase. I've emailed with Eugene about my particular flavor and now I just need to take the plunge. I'm really anxious to hear what you think, particularly after your troubles with the GM2.

I'm actually carrying the GM2 today and I've warmed up to it quite a bit. It's also bitten me twice in the last two days, which is something I never have happen. I will be posting pictures and thoughts after I get home from work for sure.
 
Ok, so I can already tell this will be my EDC for a long time. Love the ergonomics, it carries excellently, and actually feel smaller in the hand that I thought it would. Also love the blade shape and overall fit and finish, though two small niggles: Couple little "marks" or "dings" right on the end above the lock arm, and the grind geometry may be a bit off near the heel. I know I'm overly picky about everything but I'm not sure if the blade geometry is worth caring about since it can be corrected.

All in all I really love the design and feel of it.
