FINALLY!
New Graham was fast (excellent service) but swedish customs was not.
I ordered Jan 7 and recieved them today. One Benchmade Osborne 960 Red and one Kershaw with black boron coated blade and handle with gold plated thumbstud and screws, these were not available for a while but now they are.
I was a bit worried when reading about some Benchmade that was not smooth to open when new so i ordered the Miltec oil sample. However, my new 960 was supersmooth from the first time i opened it! It's also very sharp. The picture at benchmade.com does not show what the knife really looks like, there it's darkred when it really looks like THIS a bright shiny red color. It's actually i bit smaller then i imagined but oh soo nice, I LOVE IT! It locks ROCK HARD when open, can't move it AT ALL! It's light yet very solid, it really feels that this is quality.
The Kershaw is the one with som gold on it
Looks like this
It looks great although the black gets a bit smeary easely. When i try to open with my thumb i cant get it to open fully, probably i don't have the right touch yet, but with my indexfinger it open faster then lightning, damn, can this be legal? This one is also sharp but not as sharp as the Benchmade and also locks hard as rock.
I want to thank you people for your advises, i would have bought some other knives and sure woulden't be so pleased as i am now if i hadn's asked you first.
My weekend is SAVED!
