I just received a new gaming laptop. Me and my wife were fighting over playing time. She easily won so she gets to play her new SimCity while I polish my knives. I just got Battlefield bundled with SimCity. I haven't had a gaming capable rig in a few years, any new games you guys can suggest? I'm looking at Diablo 3, FarCry, and Mass Effect 3. I might pull out the old HalfLife2 and Doom3 boxes out the attic hehe.

Not much of a gamer......but doom3 definitely deserves a second look haha (I used to play a lot....(but now I'm more into knives lol))
 
I had a FFG Manix sprint in black with the S30v Carpenter equivalent CTSBD30p steel.

The new Reg Manix2 isn't FFG but I believe it is now S30v. If you really like the knife but prefer FFG, you can have it reground by someone like Krein. Total price would still be less to that of how much the black Manix2 CTSBDP sprint is going for and you get equivalent steels.

Do you have Portal and Portal 2? Very fun games made by the Half Life people.
 
Just got the replacement Endura from Amazon
came with 3 rolls this time
is this normal..?
edit:
it's no big, I'm able to reduce the rolls lightly sharpening so I'm sure I can fix that
Just seems unnecessary

I'd just order from blade hq next time.....

And check out the latest news on the native 5 light weight! Apparently it will have FRCP handles!

Hi Powernoodle,

The CP is new, and offers more of what we want in a knife. It's tougher, stronger, has more color capability and is not significantly more expensive.

In fact the strength was surprising when we broke the light weight Manix. I have a black one in my pocket right now. We'll use the same material for the light weight Native 5.

Getting knives with rolls can be normal sometimes.
But not often. Sometimes the factory job just isn't good though.

I'm not really a gamer but congrats on your gaming computer.

Get a regular Manix 2 in s30v and talk to Seelow123 - He's done some regrinds and I bet he'd do one for you. =]
 
What are the specs on your laptop FCM?
I play Battlefield 3 on PC. My buddy has Farcry 3 and says it's gorgeous

Don't really have good lighting for pictures but here's one!

Ok so I'll be getting FarCry3 then :)

I was gonna get a Sager but I put it off for a Lenovo gaming laptop instead. I still want a Sager one day though. Best damn notebooks around and no one even knows about them (which is good).

Stats on the Lenovo: Nvidia GTX660m 2gb, Core i7 2.4 ghz, 8gb Ram, 7,200rpm HDD. I've only been able to play it once since my wife's hogging it for her Simcity. I ran BF3 on ultra everything and it went well, but I'll just keep it on high next time.
 
I want a ZDP-189 Endura... That's what I really want right now. I got too many knives piled up so I gotta sell something to make room. hmmm

I just purchased an SNG and a m390 710 just this week. No way I can get an Endura ZDP outright. It wasn't even part of the 2013 to buy list!

That sounds good! I really want one of the TI damascus delicas that's in the catalog!
 
I want the ZDP Stretch you have FCM.
I want the CF/ZDP one but can't find one anywhere and when I do they want really high end knives(like my CRK's) in return. Not happening.
Those Ti/Dam Delica's look great!!! I would love to get my paws on one.

Truly what I want is a Small Sebenza Insingo, Spyderco Tuff, and a Boker Anso 67 or Epicenter.
