Hey TBG, I had a Hybrid Tactical 4.25, with BB, PE blade and semi-gloss black handles. As advertised, the knife was very smooth opening and fit and finish were superb. It's a flat out gorgeous knife. Now the bad part: I tried to contact TiNives, by e-mail and by phone, but got no response. I just wanted to find out if I could get a pocket clip for the knife, as shown on their website. I couldn't see carrying the knife in the pouch, and I wanted a clip so I could actually use the knife. I finally got frustrated and sold the knife.
So, bottom line: great knives, you can get a good deal on Ebay, but don't expect any customer service. I posted about this in the General Discussion forum, and another member posted saying that the owners had other things to do and were doing OK with repeat business, so they didn't have to advertise to get new customers. I realize that the post may not have accurately portrayed TiNives opinion, but it seems to fit.
It's a real shame, as the knives themselves are terrific. If I could get one with a clip, I'd probably buy another, good customer service or not (heck I still buy MTs).
