Re: My new toy

It can be a hit or miss on Wish. Some items are over priced trash. There are YouTubers who posts about their experiences on Wish.

Re: An OTF Stiletto from Grindworx

Had to see for myself. It is well made. By the way, it is oily so that's an oil smudge on the blade in 2nd pic.

Re: An OTF Stiletto from Grindworx

Yeah, they got some heft to em. Probably a good sign that they are not flimsy made. I really like the OTF stiletto I got.

There's no reason why Asians can't make good stuff. It's all in the contract and some contractors are the ones that's cheap.

An OTF Stiletto from Grindworx

Re: Where do I get brass pins?

I went through my box o bolts and found a brad. Just the right size where the point was sticking out enough to flatten. Not brass though it's only a $20 auto but it's working.

Re: My new toy

I would think so. If the spring is broken or missing it'll still lock open and closed so it becomes manual operated.
