Can I please get another pic of the blade centring. Something looks a little off in that second pic from the bottom or it could be my eyes playing tricks on me.

Blade centering is spot on, darn photographer needs fired! Taking pics w phone and unsteady hand is not always the easiest thing.

Maybe this pic is a little better.

Tom.

Also opened and closed it all day at work, probably about 150 times. Very nice. Still seems like my earlier post, somewhere between the Umnumzaan and the large 21. Really liking the thickness difference. Seems just a bit more secure in my hand. My hand size is a 10 in a glove; so large, but my fingers aren't like giant sausages.

My eyes are tricking me too then.

Trust me it is spot on, centering that is. Every way I look at it is almost perfect equidistant. When I look straight down and can't see the inside walls of either side it is within thousands of an inch. But turn it ever so slightly and it looks off. But you can tell your angle is off because you can see the inside of a handle. So look again at the second to bottom pic and you will see the inside ever so slightly of the lock up side.

I'm sure its perfect, I just think that subconsciously i'm nervous about the new pivot.

2500 ? wtf ok thats just stupid... anybody know the real price ? it should be less expensive than the 21 due to its construction .. or am i wrong with that ?

That was for the prototypes. Regular models will be around what the 21 costs.


Here is one more Hughes wanted me to post. It is the pic a few posts back.

cold dead hand.

I personally feel with that price tag the blades should be hand-ground. And hand delivered by scantily clad virgins balancing kegs of beer on their heads.

Nice knife, but to celebrate the 25th I would have thought something a bit more elegant would be in order. And talk about sticker shock.
