I bought a knife off the exchange and I thought I would give some feedback on my experience with the purchase. For those that are interested the knife can be seen here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1378587-Frontflipper-in-Red-DLC
First off, my overall experience with Vaclav has been outstanding. He's responsive on the forums, via facebook and direct with e-mail. The response time has always been short and he has shipped out each item (this is my second one from him) immediately on the following business day. Once the knife was shipped he provided the tracking information and the knife was delivered without any problems at all.
The quality of the knife is amazing, it's the little details that you can't see until you have it in your hands that make all of the difference. The fit and finish is tight, the blade drops dead center, it's comfortable in hand and it carries easily for me (mid size, perfect for edc). I would say that there are few things that stand out for me. The detent on this is strong, it has a ZT snap to it and there is no way you can shake the blade out - I love this. The jimping is actually a rolled coin edge which is incredibly grippy and comfortable at the same time. It's hard to tell from the pics but the spine is raised to a point, it's not really a false edge as the angle isn't right for sharpening but aesthetically it's a nice touch which shows that there was a little bit of love put into this blade. The blade itself was what I would expect from something at this level, it's razor sharp, his grind is spot on and there is no blade play (very early lock up). The only thing I have had to do so far was to re-tighten the pivot after I flipped it about a 1000 times.
I've had nothing but good experiences with him, I will buy from him again.
