Post your Moki’s

[RedRaiderRick]

In a moment of weakness I snagged another Moki from SSK. This time it was the 533 in barbed wire jigged bone. Thanks again Mark!

Then it was a good "moment", Rick!
I have one of each of the 433's, blue lapis and sunset barbed-wire, and they are 2 of my finer choices.
Watch out though, it sounds like you're hooked! lol!

I was stoked to see my Moki from Mark was scheduled for delivery Saturday. Then the USPS tracking gave this message. I guess the mailman got dog bit?

[Madmarco]

That's a first for me, Rick, I've not seen that before from the P.O.!
At least it's still coming, and it's definitely worth the wait!

Received my Moki 533 today. I can't begin to describe the fit and finish on this knife. The Japanese have been making blades for a thousand years before our country existed and it shows in this knife! Thanks again Mark!

[Madmarco]

They certainly are nice knives, huh, Rick.
I'm curious as to the reason you chose the 533 the shorter model over the 433 the longer one? Thx!

[RedRaiderRick]

Thanks for the question. i got the longer 433 in the blue bone so I went with the shorter this time.

[Madmarco]

Ah ha!
Good thinking, thanks!

Winner, winner! Congrats on getting a gorgeous knife.

I don't know if I could carry this knife. It's that nice. I would be surprised if a hair could be inserted between the rear of the blade and back spacer.

Glad you like it Rick. I think your pictures are better than mine. It really is better in hand than in the photos. I went with the satin finish to sort of encourage people to use this one, not as likely to show marks on the blade, plus Moki suggested it for the aesthetics with the handles. Figured I’d make this one different from the first one.
The run up is the first thing I noticed about Moki’s years ago. Never knew, until then, that a knife could be made to such high tolerances until I got my first Moki. That knife changed everything for me.

Congrats, that is a fab piece. Kudos to SSK for getting them out.

So after confirming SSK didn't have the stag 433 in stock I ordered it from GPK. My rationalization for the purchase was two fold. First, my son had to have my blue bone 433 for his birthday so I JUST HAD to replace it, second, Merry Christmas to me! Will post pics when it arrives.

As an update to my purchase of the amber stag Moki 433, according to USPS, my knife shipped from GPK in Illinois to Dallas to El Paso, which is an hour away, to Las Vegas to Phoenix and now enroute to who-knows-where. Supposed to have been delivered over a week ago. I will never trust USPS with another knife. Slimes.
