already over $175

I put in my max and it went immediately over

Thank you for the opportunity on it

Went for $215, which the knife is clearly worth the money at that price. However, market rate has been lower than that. Please let me know snwghst, if you are still in the market and I can let you know. For one that looked a bit odd it's probably best that this one went to someone else.

I tracked til the end today. I almost boosted my bid.

what was odd about it?

I will still be looking for one.

I did register on USN under same screen name hoping to possibly find one there

I'm there under same name as well. Some features, like joining groups and other functionality won't work while a trial member.

So the Combat Karambit came today (No Golden Ace )...First Karambit I've ever seen in person. My first reaction was "...wow, why haven't I had one of these before...". Fits like a glove, so I'm guessing the Super will be too big. Love this thing...I need a Karambit T-Shirt so everyone knows I have one...

I had thought about getting another one of these, but I'd kind of like a Fixed Karambit as a neck knife, like a La Griffe on Steroids...maybe when they come out in August...

Maybe Mike did something, it seems to have accepted my Login...But the Server is too busy to look around...

I tried to send a message to the Admins to check my Permissions...But kept getting kicked out...frustrating it is...

You should be good now.

I am now, Thank You! And you gave me Admin Permissions...sweet!

Wow...I could spend the next month in the Karambit section alone...

Yep...I have a lot of reading to do...

Very helpful. I'm giving a presentation, most of which will focus on prevention, deterrence and de-escalation, but I was planning on including some points along these lines. You've saved me some time pontificating and searching

Jeez...I've been so busy reading over at the USN that I haven't been posting here. I need to put up a pic of the Karambit...I really do like it a lot...It's an amazing little device.

Mike...Thanks for all the great articles you've written...

The mini A-100 arrived today. So very nice

I like my CQC-7 but it is a bit large for me to have in pocket comfortably for all situations at all times (though it has been)

I very much like the size and feel and the blade is just 0.3" shorter

The fit and finish is quite nice. Only thing I have found is when closed the liner lock pushes the blade to the side so it not centered well.

Opposed to sending it back initially I will disassemble clean, oil and see what happens when I put it back together. I'm sure its something simple to correct. I know there are people out there that would be screaming lack of QC lack of QC. yea get over it. It is what it is, if I can't fix it easily then I'll call EKI

(obligatory pics to follow in a little bit)

I don't have the A-100 but I've not seen one that wasn't centered. I'm sure they'd happily look at it. Did you order an EDC-1 for your planned gift giving?

I talked to EKI about the fix

Seems to be as simple as adjusting the pivot screw

I knew it would be easy

Obligatory pic and comparison CQC-7 and mini A100

Man...That mini is a VERY useful size, I really like that...

And you've been aboozzing your 7...for shame!

Is that abusing? . Yep. It's a work knife

The 7 still has its place

I'm in shorts most often this time of year so.... It's still in the rotation
