would drop a lot of $ on a junk knife just because it is cool?

It your criteria is, "looks real cool and is bound to get compliments from the sheeple instead of scare them off," then there are dozens of options at or below $130 that will be a quality knife for you and last a long time.
 
Anybody have a scan of this piece. In answer to your question - If you don't feel it's not worth the money, it probablyy isn't. Walk away, and spend the $130 on something really worthwhile - buy the cigars instead:)

Doe's the knife in question have/is any resemblance to this one?
Except with the addition of inserts?

corwin, YOU got it! (well actually it is the model 158, the better one then your picture but same manufacturer). if YOU want to share with everyone what it is be my guest! obviously since you know the knife you know why it is cool. unfortunatly the ones i saw looked like they should be worth $40 at the most not $130! actually, the LESS expensive ones (the ones in your picture) are much better AND uses better steel! go figure.


thank you,
holdanedge.



p.s. i just found 3 william henrys that look like that, at a store that was going out of bussiness. i got all 3 for $160! so i guess i can forget about that other knife!
 
yeah.. i'd been eyeing those for a while, but since i'm in Canada its hard to find those things :(

anyone who reads the image name will know what knife it is... so y'all welcome to do that :)

3 William Henry's for $160??? u lucky bastid ;) I've been wanting to get one of those for a long time.. just always end up spending my money on other knives.. but i'm definately looking to pick one up soon :) which models did u get?

So, one minute it is a liner lock in which the liner scrapes the tang, and the next it is a frame lock which is cool... Which is it?

How did Corwins picture nail your knife down, since it is nothing like the knife you describe? They aren't tantos, and there isn't a hole and thumb stud in the blade like you describe.

And why would you even think of paying 130 for a knife with the faults you described? Especially with how picky you are with your knives. I recall you finding so many "minor" faults with all the other knives you bought on plastic and then returned. Then, the pink knife that met all your desires, you get rid of. No offense, but it sounds like it's you the knife is marketed after. I believe that anyone with some knife-sense would know better than even give it a second thought. JMHO, and I post this only because I have read all of your other posts around here. Just sounds like you like being picked at.

Take a look at what Delta-Z has to offer. I think you'll find some very similar-style knives at less than $130.

Mike,
it was a different model (but same manufacturer) the pic that i posted.. here i will post the exact model that he was referring to. u will notice the faint tanto blade and the hole and the stud and the fact that there are liners and scales.. the handle resembles the William Henry Evolution series of knives, where it apears to be a framelock but has handle material on the bottom part so the liner lock is partially exposed as a framelock would be.

not taking sides, just clarifying the knife non-resemblance issue.
 
Corwin,

Thanks for clearing up the first part of my post. I still stand by my last part. Starting to wonder about this holdanedge character. If you are wondering why, you should check out all his other posts. Heck, check out his comment in the post regarding paying so much for a Sebenza Here

Mike
 
Sometimes i too wonder if some of the people in here are being honest or if they're full of it too.. but its just like anything else.. take what you like and leave the rest. Much less stressful that way.
 
medic 1210 dare i call you a, TROLL! first you jump on me for the design of the knife, you were wrong! corwin cleared it up! furthermore, i said i was NOT going to buy this knife! i was asking, given the circumstances surounding it if any one else would buy it! also, why do you cross post links in my posts in other threads specificly trying to elicit an angered response from other forumites? being said that i thought the knife in this thread was overpriced i do also think sebenzas are overpriced, but for much different reasons then the knife spoke of in this thread. obviously there is no comparisen between this knife and a sebenza. duh. i would pay $700 for a sebenza before i bought this pos for $130. all it does is look cool. it seems that you(medic1210) and db show up to every other post i make just to challange me or insult me.


holdanedge.


p.s. corwin, the wh's i got were all evolution series, from 2001. they are the least expensive wh's but they are still nice. i got 3 for the price of one so i grabbed them.
 
If you would tell us what this thing is, there is a good chance that someone would help you find one on the web at a lower price then the $130 full retail offered by the cigar store.
 
Every other post? Since holdanedge named me I will just say I have only commented on his lies in 2 threads. Hey holdanedge how about a pic of these 3 WH knives along with your jade Benza and your glock. All 5 in the same pic would be a pretty cool pic don't ya think? While your at it why don't you just tell us you found this cigar knife at a great price too and picked up 3 or 4 dozen of them :) Looking forward to that pic.
edited to add.
Holdanedge who is the one that is posting insults and threats?? read your own post will ya.
 
Let´s get back to the original topic...

I would never shell out 130 bucks for a non-high standard knife. At this price, I expect the quality to be like some of the more inexpensive customs or Swamp Rat Knives (concerning fixed blades) or the best Spydies or BMs (in regards to folders) are offering.
 
Holdanedge,

Call me a troll if you like, but you won't find inconsistencies in my posts. I don't follow you around to dog you, in fact I have tried to help you in several of your first posts on this forum in case you have forgotten (go back and look them up) I was even sympathetic to your thrashings you have gotten in the past, and if you recall, I welcomed you back after you said you were gone for good and then came back (this is also a troll habit). I have just seen your posts, and it always seems like you enjoy ruffling feathers, and your posts, like I said, have been very inconsistent. One, your "perfect" pink and green BM which met all of your picky likes, which you couldn't come up with a way to get a pic of to post to shut DB up. Then you get rid of it. Second, if you read your very statement in this post, and I quote
there is this knife i've been wanting but have not bought yet.

Seems like you are giving it some real hard thought, since you end the sentence in yet, signifying that you are planning on doing it in the future. Then, you hammer on me and state that you would pay $700 for a Sebbie before buying this POS of a knife. Why would you pay 700 when the Sebbie is already overpriced as listed in your response regarding the popularity of Sebbies? As for cross linking, I posted what I did based solely on your other posts I have read. If somebody else hadn't seen them also, they would have no idea why I'm trying to find out what's up with you. Oh, and regarding the description of the knife and corwins pic, how was I wrong? I asked a question initially, and in my following statement, I only told the facts. Corwin's pic was nothing like the knife you described other than the maker, which wasn't obvious in the pic. How was that wrong?

gee whiz. it seems like everyone around here just loves to flame each other. i can understand why some of you think i am fulla it. it is most likely because you do not understand my wry literrary style. i did not say any of you were not cabable of understanding it, i just said you seem not too. my PINK(not purple, medic) knife was cool when i found it because it was unusual. when i found out some guy just painted it with opaque nail polish, it lost it's allure. after all, it was still just a benchmade. practilly everyone here diss's benchmade now and again. so it was not some cool rare exotic custom warrenting a picture. as for the knife i mentioned in this post, i said i thought it was cool. i WOULD have bought it had it been $40. for $130 everyone here agrees it is absurd. as for "paying $700 for an already overpriced sebenza before i would buy this pos" i think you missed the point! what i meant is, if i have to pay too much for something at least let it be of a decent quality. in my sebenza post, you also misunderstood what i was saying. i did not say it was overpriced based solely on it's merits or lack therof. i did indeed state that they would be better for their(crk) own financial purposes to rearange their marketing strategy. if they were to sell them for $200 they would move more peices rather than make a higher per unit dividend. this is exemplified by the fact that so many people love that knife(sebenza).
from now on why don't those of you that continue to flame me read my posts more carefully before making inaccurate remarks.
it shure would save a lot of space on this server if i did not continously have to clarify every statement i make on these forums.
db, as for posting a picture, yeah i know how to do it. do i have anything to prove to you, no. everyone has seen the knives i have before. you simply are calling me a liar and requesting my bluff.
that is great, since i am no longer in kindergarten i really do not feal preasured by the immature nature in which you have presented your fealings of me.
right now i think i will be a gentleman and apolagize for calling you a troll, medic1210. i realize that you were nice to me at one time. why you have now decided to join the ranks of holdanedge disbeleivers, i do not know.

furthermore, contrary to popular beleif around these parts i have never threatened anyone. insulted, yes. threatened, no. even the times in which i have insulted forumites on this board did not come unprovoked. i am sure db will insist that i threatened him when this was clearly not the case, and certainly not my intent. i am a peacefull man i do not threaten people. well i take that back, i may threaten to flatuate on your head. although, i definatly would never suggest the presantation of violence against another. yeah, flatuating on ones head is pretty childish. so are a lot of you.


thank you,
holdanedge.
