Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: It seems like a good place to store pocket lint. Art knife, it won't see pocket time. It was really cool in person. The price was good to for all that milling and M390, think it was $250. CRKT railed me for $300 on the CRKT Bones special edition and it sucked. This was at least worth what they were asking. |

I used to have access to buy CRKT knives at dealer cost. I bought a lot of them at dirt cheap prices. They are OK if you buy them for wholesale prices. Still seems like they all come up lacking in some way.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Initially: Is it a spectacular knife? Yes. Is it worth what they sell (sold) for from the maker? Absolutely. Is it worth what they go for on the secondary? Definitely not. I've never handled the larger Shiros, and I don't have a NeOn or HatiOn anymore, but this looks to be about the same size. The action is much better than either of those was. It really is masterfully put together. But, there is no way I'm keeping this thing. At least it will be easy to resell. Except, as they aren't making Specters anymore, perhaps they will continue to go up in price? Hard to say. I know the Haptic has not been quite as well received (doesn't really do anything for me, personally). Damn. Much better. Throwing heat. |

They do batches of knives in the same steel. Everything they've been doing lately is 204P. The last Elmax I remember seeing was on the LUDT. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Good to hear. I mean, not that you got hosed on it. I went back and forth a bunch on one of those and ultimately didn't buy one. I have a midtech Bones and really like it. CRKT had one of the Italian companies do their special edition and fit was fine, finish was kinda rough for a $300 knife. I felt like the jagged edges around the lock bar (it was a frame lock too instead of the liner lock they usually are) would cut you just looking at them. The packaging was exactly the same as the cheapo Crossbones version. Action was stiff, probably because of the crappy lockbar. It did not impress. Whereas my midtech was cheaper and all around awesome and Jeff Park had his hands on it. You can pick up the midtechs for reasonable prices, why bother with the CRKT special edition. |
