It returns

The Rike 1902s- the slightly smaller brother of the 1902, is returning. Originally released a few years ago, this knife was in short supply and sold out reasonably quickly. Returning with the red and the blue carbon fiber, along with a M390 blade. Length 7.09”, weight3.17 oz. This was always the one knife I regretted never buying. Won’t make this mistake twice!! Well done Rike!

WTS Rosie Clone

https://imgur.com/a/97tAzTA

SOLD $85 PayPal F&F

First yolo gets it

  • Carried a handful of times and flipped but never cut anything
  • Disassembled to clean
  • Solid lock up
  • Perfectly centered
  • Has a light detent but it doesn’t shake out or anything, nice action
  • Comes with the original packaging

I wanted to see how this compared to a real one. For the price it’s pretty nice and some things come close but the overall quality, and the fit and finish of the originals is miles better (as you’d expect). I still think they are over priced though. It would be really cool if OZ focused on making the Rosie more available and cost slightly less but who am I. Grab this if you missed one! Happy Holidays!

First TI Knife - Qvist Invert

Really impressed with this for $50 from Knifejoy. Not a fan of liner locks but it’s a nice change.

What Seb 31 clone to get? Will be Frankensteining parts to make a whole knife

Currently I have a Seb 31 and another on the way. I will also have 3 blades for 2 knives. A CRK tanto in Magnacut, CRK drop point in S45 and a custom damascus clip point. I also have 2 extra 3rd party show scales. So I want to take the S45 DP and move it to my current Seb as it's DOB is my birthday and I much prefer the DP over tanto. If I pick up a clone I could build out a 3rd knife and then with full disclosure sell the frankenstein and possibly the real blade swapped Seb as I don't need, potentially, 3 Sebs along with my real Inkosi.

Has anyone swapped real/clone parts and if so which clone works best?

Jufule Speculation

There’s been a lot of discussion about recent Jufule orders that are stuck in the “Departed Shipping Partner Facility” stage of tracking. I had a Rosie order that Jufule voluntarily canceled and refunded without a fight which is not very Jufule-like of him. Is it possible that Jufule never actually shipped the items? Yes, but other lower demand Jufule models have also been held up. I believe the truth may be that Jufule lost a significant number of his shipments to customs in Franklin Park, Illinois. Interestingly, my newer Jufule order is being processed through Los Angeles instead of Franklin Park.

Question - Cheap Shirogorov Tool Alternative

I just received my first Shirogorov Clone in M390 from Green Thorn. I love it but I would like to add some loctite and tighten the pivot. What alternative tools can you use to do that? I'm not paying for the ''real shiro tools''...it would be as expensive as the knife.

Best place to buy knife skiffs and washers?

So I see them on the knife/swap and China/knife all the time. What are the best websites to order bearings, skiffs, washers and all other types of extras for knives. I’m assuming the website will know the brand, and what size they take any advice would be appreciated. If they have any sort of good sharpening stones as well it would be appreciated also. Any recommendations?

ISO: Maxace PEI Neptune

If anyone is selling theirs, I’d like to buy. Not a collector, I just really like it for some reason. Lol.

Maxace Neptune pocket clip

Does anyone know of another pocket clip that will fit it. Or possibly explain why this thing is so huge to make me look the other way on it. I've been carrying a Kershaw livewire so it's quite a huge difference and just seems too big. Otherwise this knife is sweet.

Kunwu: scam tracking number?

I ordered some Timascus hardware direct from Kunwu a week or two ago. Haven’t bothered to check tracking since it takes so long. But tonight my USPS toolbar finally popped up the package status.

But on the tracking number it says “This tracking number is known to be used in scams.” It’s in a bright red box. I’ve never seen this before.

When I check my PayPal it says the payment was made to “HopesGear Int.” not Kunwu.

Has anyone dealt with this or recognize the company name? The tracking number they gave me is not recognized in any of the Chinese tracking sites.

Thinning the Herd

I looking to off load some knives. There are 12 in the picture. The left column from top to bottom is Kunwu Pulsar, Civivi Vision FG, JG scout clone w/damascus blade, Civivi Sokoke, Kershaw Iridium, Ontario Rat II. In the right column from top to bottom Miguron Koraki Gen 1, Boker/Protech Kwaiken Auto, Hogue Deka, TwoSun TS243, Civivi Odium, Sitivien ST227. I carry and use my knives but I do not abuse them. Most of them will have light signs of wear. They all have solid lockup with no damaged edges. I’m willing to sell them individually but I will take what I think is a fair lot price of $800 for all of them that’s $66 per knife. I don’t have original boxes for any of them except the Pulsar that will come with everything it came with. I will send all of them in some kind of pouch. If you want pictures of any of them individually message me and I’ll get back to asap. I have flair on Knife_Swap is you want to know I’m legit.

I got a UTX-70 from FOOH Knife and it broke the very first time I deployed the knife

Maybe not broke, but I haven't been able to fix it. I have taken it apart and know how to put it back together, but the spring clips will NOT stay put and it flies off if I let go of it. That, coupled with it being a very small (smaller than it's supposed to be?) knife and the spring on the deployment switch also needing to be held in place, I need about two more hands, so I don't see this coming back together.

Any tips? Feels like it's about 0.5mm off on the long clip or something. Otherwise, maybe don't buy these.
