I was a c-hair this side of buying Coop's Yuna, that was a great score and is obviously my favourite of your little collection.
There should be a Mayo in there:thumbup:.

Yes there should! Great collection so far though

 

[SharpByCoop]

I'm not surprised.

There are SO many variations on this folding knife theme, and the ability to 'feel' the action from the detent to the lock and back, make for extra interest and appeal.

Not lovin' those cell phone pics, though.....

Good for you, Marc.

Ahhhhhh, the joy of custom folders!! Good for you.



You need some Mayo's, Yuna, Hinderer, Terzuola.....

 

[Keith Montgomery]

When the bug hit you, it really hit you.

sorry about the picture quality Coop,but if everybody was as good as you are you wouldnt get any business!!
Yes a Mayo would be nice,but i'm having a hard time to break the 5,$600 price range,
I find that you can get knives of equal quality as of a Mayo for somewhat less.
Thanks guys for your encouragement

Very nice pieces Marc, Congrats!!:thumbup:

 

[xaman]

Congrats Marc, those are good looking knives.

I've avoided the folder bug so far, just barely though. I tink it's inevitable

 

[Lenny_Goofoff]

Can you comment on Will Zermeno's Azrael?
Didnt know of this maker until today
action, F&F? mini review maybe…

 

[SharpNJ]

You're off to a great start. :thumbup:

 

[Gravelface]

Marc, I think the same bug hit me!!

I only have 2 customs, but am hoping for more soon!!!

I have a set of custom stag scales for a product Strider RC.....so does that make it "semi-custom"?

I am hoping to get another one of Matt's

 

[kauai Marc]

To answer your question Lenny,the azrael is a great knife,clean and simple,the action
is smooth,lock up is rock solid,no blade play what so ever,it is a good size knife(see in hands pict.and i have large hands) with 3.75" of super sharp edge,great material,S30 blade fine bead blasted,ti frame and carbon fiber scale,to sum it up,i'd say it is as good quality wise as a sebie and a much better value,and a very cool design.
