Product Description
Named for the adroit hunter and king of Shinar, the Maserin Nimrod is an imposing all-around folder. The blade is a 3.5-inch drop-point made from Bohler M390 stainless steel, arguably the best commercial steel on the market Read More
Jonas- This is an attractive knife. The pictures are HORRIBLE!!!! Thank goodness KC, BHQ, and others are picking up your slack. Metal Complex has a nice review. He thinks the clip sucks.
akmjolnirThat was a great deal. I picked up two of them plus two of the non-elite goldeneyes, along with a couple swifts. Loved that sale.
I will say I am not fond of the gold on the goldeye though. It just looks cheesy. I can live with it on the thumb hole but the pocket clip looks garish. I may remedy that at some point.
ponagathosI really don't mind it, and chuckle everytime I see it. I'll probably just spray it black or something. Before my office shutdown due to Covid-19 a coworker was about to start up a home powdercoating business. I would have had him do a bunch of knife/gun/car stuff to test his setup.
Ummm, are there nested steel liners or does this pivot on bushings directly in the scale material?
I have concerns over the longevity of a high stress/wear point being solely of an epoxy based substance rather than hard metal.
At first this sounded like an extremely good deal but this design concerns me.
Too bad, I like the micarta idea and all other aspects make this an exceptional knife for the price.
"Another win for security’s sake is the finger choil in the handle scales, which makes a perfect place for an index finger."
On the blade, we call it a choil. When it's on the handle, it's called a groove.
Carry on!
I think you're mistaken.
Choils are always on the blade, but can flow into the handle. Most are only sharpening features, that's where they got started from, with later designers growing them for finger gripping. A sharpening choil looks like this:

'Forward' just means it's in front of a finger guard on the blade, like so (another sharpening choil);

they call it that because some choils blend into the handle instead, like so:

I mean, if you dig around online you will find people calling them 'choils' even if they're entirely on the handle, but those people aren't using the correct word. I mean, it's not really the end of the world because most people would probably be able to guess what they meant, so if you go your own way and keep calling 'em choils I really won't mind. But technically when they're all on the handle, they're grooves.
Jonas- it sounds like Ares13Fox got a bad knife and worse customer service. I hope that you guys are going to rethink this and do the right thing. If you think that telling this customer that he does not have a defective item is the right thing, then you should have the decency to post the reasons that you are taking this stance. Thank you.
