Massdrop/Laconico Keen

After paying extra for expedited shipping, and not receiving a shipping notice for four days, I contacted "customer support", (twice). Mine finally shipped yesterday. Maybe I'll see it before Christmas.

Oof. With at least a refund for shipping, I hope.

Even though I continue to order from Massdrop they have not been the easiest to deal with after point of sale. Two issues I had were a down jacket with a defective zipper and a completely non-functioning digital food scale. I replaced the zipper at my own cost for $50 locally. They gave me a $15 credit. To the sub-$10 scale, I simply let it go as not worth my trouble and return shipping costs.

Everything else has been solid. I'm thrilled with the recent purchases of the Keen and a Junghans Max Bill Automatic watch. The Keen is well known here. The Max Bill went for over $100 less than elsewhere and is running at the astounding rate of 0.0 sec/day. IMHO it's the draw of the luck combined with semi-astute purchasing. I will likely never buy any electronic device from them again.

I am now waiting for delivery of a Makiri knife.

Nice looking watch.
 
How are they now? I've had no reason to take mine down yet. Super smooth. Only a matter of time before it meets Mr. Wicked Edge, though... :D
Layed mine back to 18.5 degrees per side (37 degrees inclusive) tonight on the Wicked Edge, all the way up thru 1500 diamond, then the 1.4 and 0.6 ceramics, then stropped with 1.0 and 0.5 diamond paste on leather. It is INSANELY sharp now - probably sharper than I've ever achieved before.
 
Here is her backside RBid. I think I'm going Grape with portals next Lol

I think the bronze is probably the best looking from the spine. The distress markings break it up nicely, so it doesn’t look like quite so much of the same. Very cool! Probably the best color for plain scale, too.
