My frustration with eBay collectors.

[eojk]

I've been trying to find a Gunting and trainer for myself recently, to be used as my defensive edc. All of my Spydies are users anyways.

My problem is, the few I've seen on eBay(the only place I have found them thus far) are already at incredibly high prices. This was not immediately off-putting, however, as I understand the rarity of the model. I checked the recent wins of the two highest bidders and realized that they are merely collectors with seemingly bottomless pockets looking to round out their collections.

I don't exactly have a lot of money and was really looking forward to possibly owning this intriguing and well vouched-for knife. It's thoroughly frustrating to me that it is likely these collectors will put such a design on the shelf and never make use of it's unique capabilities. Perhaps they will keep it on their belts every day like I intended to, but when you've already won one CRMIPT auction and are bidding on another, this does not seem likely.

I apologize for my negative tone, but the Gunting looks very promising for what it is designed, not to mention it is one of the few designs that is legal in my area.

Whining belongs over in another forum!
BTW, I feel for you, but you're really not adding anything to this forum.

Unless you really want the CPM 440V steel, you can find Guntings at online dealers. Do a Froogle search and you'll see them from about $100 and up. Unless I'm missing something.

Perhaps it is because I've only searched for the plain edge, which as I understand, only comes in 440C(excepting those rare S30V's). I am really biased against combo edges for SD knives, but I might let that go just to have this knife.

The spycdeco serrations are great for SD. They will rip through leather and I've been told kevlar. That's why the civilian is all sypyderedge.

I agree. Serrations are great on SD knives. I don't like them on my EDC/utility knives but the serrations will create a much more vicious wound. Plain edge may slice nicer but if someone's trying to kill me I'd rather give him a jagged laceration that has trouble closing than a nice clean incision.
