The ABS handle Mikov is a great purchase for around $50. For under that amount, I have found that the original Hunter made in Taiwan is exceptional. There may be some left on the auctions. There is a chinese version of this one that is junk.

If you are looking for a place to just store your wares in one place, go to Lowes. I just picked up an old timers type wooden tool chest for $60. I put my collection of over 100 knives (closed) into it and still have room for about 50-60 more.. What a deal~! 8) I used to keep them in Glass top displ...

Not so rare. About a year ago, you could buy them for about $100. For a "RARE" item, they sure did make a lot of them before they realized the mistake..

I was just surfing the web for some info and found my way to usaknifeauction.com I know that this auction is owned and operated by the famous "Tizzy bee" who is banned from all the legit auctions. I came across this auction http://www.usaknifeauction.com/XcAPViewItem.asp?ID=108370 . What is so remar...

Claudester! i don't think an insult was intended. maybe someonehad an inside line on a Wholesale site or auction or something. I even buy my cars with the bst deal possible. Just my nature. I guess its my Slovenian Upbringing. Day old Bread and Bagels are just fine with me.

I just got a couple of AKC 9" Italian Stiletto "Kits". The Blade also has Nail Nicks. Pretty solid kit for the money. Its only the spring you install though.

Wow, What a shock. He sure was a great guy. I will miss his posts. Hang in there, for he is watching over you! BR28

Anyone handled the Damascus Leverletto? I was about to order one and was wondering if it was worth $130. It looks really sweet.

Johnny,
The action on these is very comparable to the Scarab. nice, hard to push release prevents it from going off in your pocket . Pretty sturdy clone. Made in Taiwan so its a step up from the Chinese stuff. Well worth $30 maybe $40. Any more and I wouldn't pay it. BR28

If you want an actual reply from an actual auction admin, your better off going to Bladebid or TKA. Eventually these two will take some of the action from BA. At least they care about their sellers and buyers and not the almighty buck!!

Style wise i'd say its a pig,but if it's a reasonable user it might be worth a try. Any Microtech clones out there worth trying? Are the 777's junk? I have a shipment of Ultratech Copies coming in about 2 weeks. These are pretty nice and have that same "rip your thumb up" stiffness that the microte...

Good point Jerrbear..I didn't buy two of his knives because thet "Looked like" another knife. I bought them because of the Quality workmanship put into them. The difference is I like them. I don't care if anybody else does. I didn't pay $1000 for it, or even $100 But they will be added to the Protec...

I was Grampa's first customer - bought a custom #10. I have to say that he did a real good job on it - my first "custom" knife. I think for the money, it's a pretty good deal. I just wish he'd start working on stilettos. poor BS..I believe he is going to start in the near future..Could you imagine ...

PB, He's getting into making his own line of custom knives, from the Blade on up. I'm not saying that the LCC clone is terrific, just the work that was put into it..Check out his website and look at what he's done so far..He really puts his heart into it..Which to me is worth the money..To some peop...

"Grandpa" Snider is an up and coming Custom knife maker. Custom to him means fitting the handle to a scan of your hand, Etching per your request, Filework, Letter of authenticity, and his logo. I have 2 of these knives and couldn't be more pleased :D When he gets more well known in the knife world, ...
