Re: Advice Needed on Shaman CPM 15V Edge Damage

Get yourself some diamond rods for your Sharpmaker and they should clean that up in a jiffy.

Link seems to be dead.

That typically means they sold out and removed the product page from the site since it was a "one and done" item.

Re: **ALERTS ONLY** 15V SHAMAN THREAD (Leave comments in the 15V Shaman! Thread)

Not affiliated or familiar with this seller, but they have 100% feedback, and their price seems very fair at 338 + 6 ship. I can't imagine they are making very much after fees and whatnot, at least going off the standard 270 retail price... https://www.ebay.com/itm/204302666185?hash=item2f916349c9:g...

Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

I haven’t totally made up my mind on whether to keep it yet, so it has only been outside the knife drawer a few minutes at a time while contemplate on this big question. No big risk of losing screws just yet. The hard part is deciding if I really have enough use for it to keep it. As mentioned I al...

KnifeOutlet: Someone posted on facebook they called the shop, I guess they only had one in stock, and couldn't get it off the website fast enough once orders started pouring in. They've been on Bladeforums for many years, but there certainly are complaints of them charging for items not in stock, a...

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?

IMO it boils down to the PM2 having these two "advantages" as to why it is more popular:

1) relatively lightweight for the overall blade size
2) fidget factor (one finger close)

Re: New Spyderco Paysan CQI: defective & disappointing

Apologies if I missed it, but why on earth did it take over three years for a replacement to get sent out? I mean, I would have been in communications with them after only a month or so, and been increasingly persistent after that point. That part makes little sense to me. Was there some sort of agr...

Re: ** 15v PM2 Alert Thread **

If by "not really," you mean total price, you are right. If you mean the BIN is not $260, you are wrong, unless it's already gone. Yes, generally this alert thread is for retailers where almost all of whom ship for free, so the listed price is the price, not including taxes. If you're men...

eBay has one $260 BIN.

Not really, there are two that are $270 with shipping, not including taxes. But it's nice to see secondary values dropping from what they were just a few days ago.

Tip for any noobs who are trying for one of these: if you don't have an account already created and logged in, don't have saved addresses, or saved payment info, then you got no shot at getting one. Can't spend more than 15 seconds or so from start to finish when you first add the item to cart, to w...

Price gouging ugh... the ugly face of sprints rears to a new all-time high. I am going to remember these sellers and make it a point not to give them any of my business in the future.

Chances are it is not, their inventory system isn't very good. They only had 6. He's going to spend all day on Monday issuing refunds to a bunch of sad customers.

Not affiliated with the seller, but they do have 4 in stock on their ebay store (100% feedback) for 300 shipped. Yea it's certainly above the going retail, but also seems to be under current secondary prices, at least at the moment. If you just can't wait... https://www.ebay.com/itm/204254033353?has...

Re: ** 15v PM2 Alert Thread **

I'm not posting the link because they are not on the Dealer Locator List and the negative reviews might be justified. They are a real dealer and you should get a knife, if they don't over sell. And it's also possible a Collectors Club knife might ship. But... Knife Outlet shows In Stock. Good luck....

Re: ** 15v PM2 Alert Thread **

Note: I think this is just the beginning of a few early drops of a very small handful some dealers are getting in, the bigger drops are a bit farther out. So if you see any vendor with stock and quickly sell out in the next couple weeks, it's likely those initial very small drops, and don't necessar...
