Thank you Now I'm waiting for the next SRM Land knife, maybe a 710 Plus with tip up clip and ball bearings? By the way, does any one of you know a source for the Zieba G2 framelock folder clone where I can pay with paypal?

I have a fake G2 but I paid through Alipay. Have you tried asking some sellers if they accept PayPal, i know I have done it successfully in the past?

Did that. First response was, No, sorry. Now i'll wait for more answers.
I think I've bought my Malyshev Gnome that way, and maybe my Mnandi that way.
Oh boy, I'd really like one of those actual Mnandi clones but it's unreasonable atm...

Adahn, is that stock or one of your spectacular conversions? chineseknives.proboards.com/thread/108/chinese-crkt-swindle-copyIt's a CRKT Swindle with "rosewood" scales. It's one of 6 pieces of this really hard wood that I got for free. I wasn't sure if it's really working without a liner but thanks to the ball bearings it's working. Especially the blind holes for the hidden stop pin and one at the butt of the handle were challanging but that's the oil that keeps me running Of course it should fall down onto a hard surface, maybe it would crack, but that's not a good thing to happen for a Ti folder as well. I've re-sanded and polished the scales and sinked the onlay a bit more since these pictures with bad lights but I couldn't hold myself back to flat-grind the blade. Sadly I don't have the right tools for this, next week I'll see if it's usable or not. If not I'll get this clone and see if it's actually a nightshift production. Then I'll only give the blade a false edge to remove friction when cutting things like an apple ot so. I really don't like it how a hollow grind is more splitting fruit instead of cutting them. Anyways, CRKT should have made the Swindle with liners and wooden scales (or cf) or even with an aluminum or G10 fron liner. The way it comes it's way too heavy for this kind of clip which is only working well on soft pants. The cloners should make a Ti version, I'd definitely get one if it's in the $40-$60 price range.

That's a slightly modded SRM 9055 adahnsplace.blogspot.ch/2018/03/sanrenmu-9055.htmlAnd by the way, my job student got checked by the police last Saturday night. He was so drunk that he didn't realize that he has the knife in his jacket. I doubt that he'll go to the office to ask if can have it back, so maybe I'll order him another one to mod it

The knife was confiscated? Because he was drunk or is it deemed illegal?

Shame though, that was a really pretty knife, i have that model as well, one of my all time favorite! Well, it's his decision. He's either man enough to go to the police office or I order another one at his cost and mod it again. As long as I don't have to pay for it it's ok for me, and another knife to play with By the way, I've added that glowing circle because I wasn't happy about how the steel ball was held inside. Sometimes little mistakes can bring nice results Right now I just imagine to drill some holes into the scale, fill it up with this blue epoxy and then add a drop of a different colored one when it's still liquid. Maybe orange? Or a bit more subtle, green in blue? Maybe someday...
