Re: *FINAL* Sign-up For Commemorative Knife To Honor Rick Giroux

I'll take it if no one has claimed it yet. I'm usually an L but EU sizes tend to be a little snug compared to those of 'murica.

Re: 8'' LATAMA / Patent 35958 Kris Picklock

Home Run Luke! I had recently missed out on Eric's Mauro Mario sale to my regret. But, THIS is just outstanding! I believe I had asked about that hole, or indentation at the top end of the safety in another thread on other vintage pieces and was told it was drilled to start the safety slit cut. So,...

8'' LATAMA / Patent 35958 Kris Picklock

About 2 weeks ago now, I was on the phone with a great guy named Eric (rock-n-roll$$$$$$) talkin' about anything and everything, this crazy honey business I've gotten into with my bees, The Rolling Stones, and my recent misfortune with Walt's new 9'' half-grinds. With the new "Latamas" leaving me wi...

Re: Black acrylic 11" Frank B acquisitions

AB would be Frank's brother, close enough I'd say - Armando is a master in his own right.

Re: Black acrylic 11" Frank B acquisitions

Looks acrylic to me, but they don't look like typical Frank B's ... nickel silver and damascus! Year? Stamps? Tell us about them!

Re: Black acrylic 11" Frank B acquisitions

It took me a few years to find a true black acrylic Frank B that wasn't a "switch" model, but when I saw Rick selling one on Sharperdeals, I had to pounce. Probably overpaid for it, but based on the scarcity of black acrylic and how fast it sells out at places like bladeplay, price deviations betwee...

Re: *FINAL* Sign-up For Commemorative Knife To Honor Rick Giroux

Will these have to be shipped separately to avoid folding them? just let us know how much shipping would be extra to send two parcels or altogether in a larger box.

they'll go nicely with my bernie certificate

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks

Thanks man I appreciate that update - I never even saw this announcement. That's great news, even if it's later than expected. At least it's coming . Sadly I had a car to pay off when these hit the market so all I could do was watch the first time around. Perhaps all the unannounced frosolones pushe...

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks

Any news on whether or not any more of these will be made? Wanted to get one but none in the scale type I like.

Re: Walt's 23cm

A $270 knife shouldn't have those issues--having to send multiple knives back multiple times for repairs is messed up and that ghetto safety repair is just sad. They charged you shipping to repair defective knives?? Well I had to pay to mail them back, and when you're mailing the better part of a g...

Re: Walt's 23cm

Well, got the two that I had to send back a second time with safety issues today ... One was fine, nice tight safety. Not the tightest, but tight enough . This was the knife with the non-functioning safety though, so it was tight to begin with. The second one on the other hand, was loose when I got ...

Re: *FINAL* Sign-up For Commemorative Knife To Honor Rick Giroux

This is the cheapest I've seen any of these knives by at least 30USD - i can't see anyone being "stuck" with a knife numbered out of just 15 that's selling for 30+USD below what it usually goes for. I'm planning to buy more but I'm only holding out till the very end to make sure no one else wants on...

Re: Renzo Pascotto 10" (25cm) Picklocks

Hi Chris, Wow! Impressive collection. Fabulous! The RP stamp is rare in comparison to AGA. I’m guessing but, in time, the RP stamp should become more rare and perhaps more valuable. John If you take a look now, it appears Angelo is capitalizing on this mentality - there's been a few hundred Frosolo...

Re: *FINAL* Sign-up For Commemorative Knife To Honor Rick Giroux

But there's less than 30 of each of these variants? Perhaps since there's 15 sicilians, 10 diana, 5 piccolo it might be better to say "1 of 15", "2 of 10", "3 of 5" ect ? Makes 'em more special sounding :P
