Just received my first Grohmann, folder. The Mini Russell Lockblade.
This has been on my list for some time and keeping an eye on and watching the stock of the U.K.s only supplier dwindling away, last week was the time, pew, pulled that trigger.
Came in yesterday and although my Faffers mitts couldnāt help themselves and sheās now āseen some workā , this is it straight out the box along with a greatly appreciated real life Canadian 5cents piece thrown in!
Better than Iād come to expect from anything off some resemblance of a production line that isnāt GEC.
Sure thereās bits and bats that aināt the best it could be and the hafting felt like it was cut short of completion but even that I can see the reasoning behind and itās only because of my personal tastes that I spent a few hours just thinning out the covers and taking them down inline with the bolsters.
All in all I feel in no way shafted by this purchase, a feeling which feels all too common if I venture beyond GEC, which being said is why Iām also still totin the 81 City Stock, itās just too damn nice.
