Re: Frank Beltrame from 3knives

Well, AGA has figured it out at least (or rather, Pascotto has, and they've sold some good knives of his). Understandable that it's unfeasible for Walt to modify each of his knives, but there's nothing unfeasible (or unreasonable) about properly fixing a one-off loose safety without making it stick ...

Re: Frank Beltrame from 3knives

. Luke ~ I thought Walt's knives went through really rigorous inspection before they shipped....! Frankly, I'm shocked to see something like this. Did Walt's repair or replace to your satisfaction? (I have 4 Walt's and they are all very nice.) . The knife with the rough safety was after two rounds ...

I'm going to go ahead and post a few pictures of "virtually certain to be problem-free" knives from Latama.net :) Resized_20181018_043208_zpslhxdzaob.jpeg Resized_20181018_042300_zpsro2y1oxm.jpeg CAM02996_zpstghbsya2.jpg In conclusion, the $400 price tag will guarantee only a few things that have li...

Re: Blade 2022

I hardly think it's necessary/appropriate to drag politics into this, but in any case whenever people throw stuff like that around they ought to cite sources out of respect for whomever may call the place home...

Re: Blade 2022

At those rates it might make more sense to get an airbnb. I found one that was for an entire 2 bedroom apartment nearby in the buckhead area for like $85/night and me and 2 friends had reservations there for the 2020 blade show weekend, luckily AirBnB has a pretty generous cancellation policy... Spi...

Re: Maniago shops

Interesting. I did know Rick but was totally unaware of the attempt at having a memorial knife done for him. I used to talk to Sara quite often and of course met her when I was there. She did seem very suspicious of a lot of people for reasons that I never understood... I have known Sara since mid-...

Re: 33 cm latama kriss

Cool! I've got one with the patent stamp, but it appears to be a different actual stamp (smaller font, tighter kerning): viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26184&hilit=latama+%2F+patent

Re: 33 cm latama kriss

Does it have the Patent stamp on the back? I've been told that all kriss Latamas had it, but that could be misinformation

Re: Maniago shops

Ivano, Everyone has very high respect for the work you and your father do - most would agree it's among the finest of modern productions and that's why we all want to buy your work. What many people would like to do is make custom orders with you, and when they try they are sometimes met with not th...

Re: Maniago shops

Sara's interaction with Barb was indeed pretty crass and I've had pretty hit-miss dealings with her also. It's pretty obvious that many of the habitual laissez-faire business practices folks in Maniago make part of their routine wouldn't allow them to last very long in the USA. In some ways it's to ...
