The REK Sparrow front flipper thread

I have a lot of knives in both steels and both of them are great (especially with the right HT) and Imma buy one of your Reate Sparrows either way.

My thoughts are that MagnaCut has a bigger brand and broader appeal. As you go into production knife territory I'm just speaking strategically and putting myself it your shoes - MC might make more sense. I think the actual properties and differences - slight though they are - are pretty well known in the knife community and completely irrelevant to anyone outside of the knife community. All things being equal my personal bias is always for Vanax (but I'm the last guy around that still has a thing for Nitrobe 77). I am originally from the PNW and spend a lot of time on the Puget Sound where the saltwater and rain have taken their toll on some of my fav's because I'm an idiot. And I personally buy knives with some of that rusted-knife trauma PTSD. Both MC and VNX are high performers and near idiot-proof - VNX is just slightly more idiot-proof in the ways that matter to me.

In conclusion, I want you to sell as many of these as possible, so that you make as much $$ as possible, so that you make as many blades as possible for me to buy. So I'd suggest MagnaCut because its my guess that will allow you to price slightly lower and sell a few more because it might be more familiar to those weird people who aren't paying bladeforums members.
Thanks for all your thoughts! I think you are right 👍
 
That's what I like about you. You never put yourself first.


🤣
😁 That’s what I like about you. You can poke and jab and then take it right back without getting you feelings hurt. On a serious note for all that don’t know me I don’t put myself first I just talk a lot of smack. Of course my wife says that I come across as rude to some people but if you’re gonna be around me you gotta have tough feelings as I don’t sugar coat anything. Like the saying says “If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough”. I’m tough.

You need to apologize, right now.

Dang Josh. I can’t believe how that Dama Sparrow turned out. That is honestly the most beautiful and well put together knife I have ever seen. Guess I’m taking a loan against the house and joining IG again 🤣🤣.

Nah but seriously good luck with the Auction. That baby is going to set records, and it’s well deserved. Whoever gets it should be honored.
