Back from the Rendezvous today and picked this up at the Post Office and into the pocket it went .


Found no issues of any kind . Like the Color and Texture a lot . Was pretty much what I wanted .

Hey Mike Latham... The gap between the bolsters and the covers, is that needed for any reason? If there's a reason, then so be it, but I find it mildly objectionable. It looks like a well made mistake. Any chance it could bee eliminated on the next run? Thanks. Stan in Idaho.
 
Two posts removed. Please ask questions about stock levels elsewhere. This is not in the Exchange forum.
 
My CF Lion Steel RoundHead will be in "Stock" in my mail box wednesday fingers crossed .
Hopefully no forum rules were violated from my post or I might be struck by lightning from the moderator Gods lol .
 
So the Euro-Barlow seems successful just from watching this and the picture thread. Assuming it was successful for both the manufacturer and retailer, what's next on the horizon?

I ask because it was total dumb luck that I found this thread and acted on in to reserve the two I bought.

I wonder why the bolster is radiused on the bottom, myself. It seems like the top of the handle slab should either be radiused too or neither of them should.
 
My rams horn is due to arrive today! I'm also excited to see the clip point variation, I'll be on board for one of those!
 
These are awsome! I just finished reprofiling mine to 15dps. This is my only experience with m390 and wow it took some strokes to sharpen. It has found its way into my edc sheath pushing out my bear lake. I cant quite bring my self to do anything but look at my rams horn its just amazing. Thanks to CK for getting this together!

My CF is only a few miles from my house to In route :thumbsup:
I'll also definitely be on board for a clip!
 
Got my Rams Horn today and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks again Collector Knives and LionSteel!

The clip looks nice but I feel like would need more change than that to draw me in. I would at least need all new handle/cover material options too. I might have listed my suggestions before but I will list them again: Not Palo Santos Wood, G-10, Micarta, Jigged(or Sawcut) Bone, & Silver Twill(or other non-standard) CF.

Check out p.42 of this thread, some gold burlap micarta on there

That's Thunderstorm Kevlar, not micarta, but it does look good. Low-Void Red/Black or Blue/Black carbon fiber or Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber would be cool as well. Shadetree micartas would be amazing, though.

Here's some gold G10 (on a Canal Street Cutlery Boy's Knife):

I'll second the suggestion for jigged or saw-cut bone!

Seems to be par for what people are reporting, BTE thicknesses in the .020"-.025" range. Doesn't surprise me for Lionsteel, I had a TRE that was very thick behind the edge from the factory. Although. .020" isn't terrible, but M390 can certainly handle thinner. With Diamonds, it is not any more difficult to reprofile than GEC's 1095 on natural stones. And that makes sense - an upgrade in steel deserves an upgrade in sharpening components.

I measured mine to be .024 at the start of the belly and .026 at the heal of the edge right after the sharpening choil.
 
This was the first time I've dealt with CollectorKnives, and man!!, what an exceptional experience. I'm very impressed with the whole package, from the early reserve to the way the knife was packaged. Hats off to CK :thumbsup:!!!!
I ordered the carbon fiber on the early reserve, when I got it and inspected the knife, I ordered the rams horn. Yes, I was that impressed with the knife. Maybe, I'm just ignorant to what a traditional/slip joint should be, but this LionSteel is more than what I was expecting for the price. I can see why they won the Blade Manufacturing Quality Award.
I can see myself visiting CK more often with collaborations like this one.:D
