Hi Boji,

Appreciate you posting and sharing these two. Our visit here in Arizona is longer than expected but I think we will be heading out later this week and fingers crossed might pop in to Knife City as we pass again.

Thanks for sharing those two beauties, I especially like the top Benchmade one, that has some lovely clean lines.

Cheerio,
Roy

That's a nice pair you have there, Boji. I've had the Benchmade model for about 6 months now, and I like it but they could have used a stronger spring. Mine opens each and every time and locks-up solid, just not with the force I expected, especially with the high price tag attached to them. What are your thoughts? ::shrug:: 8)

Nice Roy! ::tu::
You sure didn't mess around once you found a knife you liked, I knew you'd bought a couple but I wasn't expecting to see 4 new models!
You even got 2 that I would have bought myself!
You're gonna be in deep trouble if you ever decide you like knives by Joe Kious, they run from $10,000.-$85,000. EACH! 8)

Thanks mate,

I really like the modest size of the original Don and love the 'nod' to the classic design. I didn't mean to get these extra two but one came up and the seller mentioned they had a second, so was able to make a great deal for both. I would love one of those fancy engraved example but the price and scarcity might be limiting.

On other topics (Latama), as you know I had to return one example to PVK and currently waiting on a refund. But I have two others due in from separate sources, so excited to see them.

Cheerio,
Roy
