Looking for DKW Sandshark or Microtech Custom

[zzugman]

Just wondering if anyone out there is willing to part with their Shark or maybe a microtech Custom especially anything stainless steel. I am mostly into OTF's. I have the tax check coming in and its burning a hole in my pocket. If you have anything please contact me at guzzoa@yahoo.com Thanks for looking and helping to complete my collection.

Still looking. Nobody? Cash ready to go.

roadsideimports.com has a few Sandsharks. but the price is outrageous... you might be able to find them cheaper, elsewhere. not sure where.
microtech customs can be had via contacting them through their website (themicrotechstore.com)
good luck!
please show some pics of whatever you end up with.

Ya at this point, with how expensive sand sharks are, you might as well save a bit more and try and pick up a harkins OTF. They are Sweeeeet, would be well worth the extra. I have never held a sandshark, but i am almost 100% positive that a harkkins blows it away.

Just my 10 cents.

Thanks everyone for the great input.

That may be true, I've never handled either. But, from what I understand. The Harkins is meant to be smooth and look/feel nice. The Sandshark is meant to never break and actually be used.

Wow you were not kidding by expensive. I was thinking like $1500 to 2k for a shark. Its $3699.00. I think your right. Time to go with the Harkins. Killer is I had a bunch of sharks and sold them. I guess they really jumped in price. Ill keep looking. Thanks guys.

If you look around you might be able to find some at just over 3k (but it'll take some real searching)

Good luck in yoru search!

Also, the Harkins IS very smooth, and does look nice. But, i would pit it up against a sand shark for durability any day. I believe a harkins could stab a steel barrel just as well as a sand shark without breaking. Maybe even better!

I would like to get my hands on a sandshark, just to see how it is. But at those prices, i much rather have a custom. Though he isn't producing them any more. SO the Harkins will go up in value quickly as well. Even though they are already pretty high.

You could always get a Pirana Excalibur, I hear they have a similar sear system.

I agree with dark get the pirahna! There one solid knife and compared to my other otfs, way lighter! The internals on it are amazing! Best part is you get a bad ass well made knife thatll hold up to anything, without paying thousands of dollars thats outrageous! But your money so let us know what yea decided on?

I would say go with the one from bladehq its only 1999. I'm pretty sure he will not do the piranha as I am the one who bought the one from him he had for sale.
