Probably the second best color way of BB behind RPG.

A Dober BB with OD Green G10 Panels is almost enough for me to buy one...almost

RPG has my number. Also fond of that BX9 that Mykreign has a hard on for...

Awwww! Flip it! I'm sticking with the BBs! I may yet get a Bantam at some point, maybe V2 with a DNA Go chip (if they will make one, just wishful thinking):vino:

I'll help ya out there Brew...


$75 is half way to another set of stones for your WE! ;)


Also, on a side note... Hope ya have $475 when you go to Blade West... can pick up your Sebenza 31 at the CRK table

$550 is the price for Large 31's with all but 2 style inlays, the other 2 types cost $600
$450 is the price for a Large 31 PJ

THEN


There is the Blade West Special CRKs... which will run about $800 lol

I know right!

Save you from spending $75...BUT reminding you of spending nearly $600 on a CRK soon

I would like to get the Blade Special but knowing me, I could never just keep it in a box and look at it. I always buy blades I can and do use. I understand the "collector" mentality but could never abide by it. I buy something to use it, even if infrequently, not to look at it. So, more than likely it will be the $475 ones I'm looking at and the $450 ones if I have enough left for a second one or a small PJ Inkosi.

I’m the same...why the 31 will be a PJ or simple inlay like Micarta for me...

Still like the Inkosi more than the 31 even though I haven’t held one...

They still have the pivot bushing...not a bad thing, just prefer the adjustable solid pivot and larger washers

I can understand that, I only have an el cheapo Sebenza 21 wannabe with D2 blade (at least I hope it is D2) from fleabay. I like the size and even though it isn't on the same continent with the real one, it is functional and found a home on the work bench. I promised myself there will be no beer drinking while at the show.....

Seriously, WTF is going on with USPS?! This is the fourth package to take some crazy-ass route or arrive late!

I thought maybe it had something to do with Dorian but that has no effect on the West Coast, typically it wouldn't go anywhere near the storm, and and it's been happening for two weeks now which is long before that could even be a factor.

It went through fuckerton (Fullerton), that’s about as sure of it going the wrong way as rain being wet.

And the funny thing is...


From a north south perspective..

Fullerton is the next town north of Anaheim

the main post office of Anaheim is literally 2 blocks from Fullerton...

My coil making work bench is blocked by a ton of crap at this time:gaah: Where can I get decent N80 coils (fused, 28 or 30 gauge)? Advanced Vape Supply has mostly SS coils.

Finally got around to this today after Hurricane prep yesterday.
First build wanted to try the smallest insert and chimney. Proper tight as knats ass draw. Did a round wire 2mm 28g SS contact coil. Bottom legs, straight from clamps, Pushed down just a smidge.
Bridge a little tight fit through the boro orings. Next time should be a bit easier having a feel for it.
Pretty damn impressed but it's early.
Next build will try the middle chimney size and a 28/36 which would make it closer to the build and chimney in my vapeshell.

Taking a look back,I can see that you are showing off the Xeta! Is that gnat's ass a tiny, tight ass kinda draw? I don't know if you have the MF bridge with the MTL kit, but if you do, I use the single hole adapter and it is the perfect MTL draw for me. I know draw is a very subjective thing and what some consider loose MTL is a perfect DL for me, so..... I just hope it is a tight draw as in what I call a tight draw. Enjoy the hell out of your XETA:vino:

@~Don~ check this out! Not your blade style, but....
eBay item number:
133157692053

Not a bad price... if it stays at that price.

Small PJs average about 310-325 and small Micartas about 335-375


Mentioned already, if you're really wanting a small 21... I'd sell you my 21 Micarta Insingo

Plus, mine is double thumb studs ;)

Have to send it in to CRK to have that option or buy from them with that added option.

I know you did and I appreciate the offer. I tried an insigo-like blade and didn't quite got along with it, granted it was a crkt . I was playing with it and my nephew liked so I gave it to him. I went back to the Kershaw cryo.

That looks like my post office. They use the three day route for a one day delivery.
Someone needs to teach these morons how to read a map.

The entire month of a August has been like this for me. I just don't get it.
WTF.....sure didn't go far...
I swear USPS is messing with me. This is 4 our of the last five packages that's been delayed or taken some stupid route. I'm starting to take it personally

The USPS is too busy making deliveries for Amazon to worry about simple peons like us. They should let Amazon organize and run USPS!

I read somewhere that Amazon could, and should, buy USPS. In truth, they've been letting me down lately too.
