Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Szilagyi-hpg: Just picked this up from a co-worker. I was showing off a knife and he runs out to his car to grab one he found on the sidewalk. He shows me and asks if it’s a “good one”. I about shit myself. I told him what it was, and showed him the price on the website. Then I told him I can’t afford to buy it for $400, but if he had a price in mind let me know. Without skipping a beat, he says “I was hoping I’d get $50 for it.” After asking a bunch more times if he was cool with that I gave him the $50 for it. He seemed happy with the arrangement, and I definitely am. I’m broke, so this is the only way I would have ever possibly owned one of these.https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/402525/IMG_8008_jpeg-3207839.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/402525/IMG_8006_jpeg-3207840.JPG Shit dude. What kind of luck is that? Feel for the guy who lost it but at least it ended up with someone who'd enjoy it. |

I finally got a Mercator K55K Black Cat, been wanting one since the 1950's.
It is well made and works as it should. Slicing paper is easy for the stock sharpness. There were a few places that might wear out pocket fabric, but some enjoyable time with a Japanese micro file fixed that. It's very satisfying to open, close, to look at and to use the K55, it is an excellent fidget toy! Like other knives the K55 is both an art object and a tool. |
