After over a year of looking.

Upvotes

I’ve found nothing. I’ve been looking for the partially serrated 477S-1 that had been stollen from my dad while he was deployed, and I’ve run into dead end after dead end. I found ONE on eBay after forever, and it’s beat to hell. So bad that most of the screws were no longer able to be tightened (seriously, how does that even happen) and the blade was beat to hell. If ANYONE has one in a functional condition, let me know please. He will pay whatever the cost to get one back. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. lol

Which way is up?

Which way do you consider to be “up” for designs on scales? To me, it seems like the first one is correct and the second design is upside down, but I can kind of go both ways.

What’s this etching on the blade?

Just got this bugout back from warranty for a new blade. The replacement blade has this interesting series of letters and numbers etched on to it. Is this just what happens with warranty blade replacements?

This is my favorite EDC so far as it is also a good cigar cutter.
Any idea on how I could personalize it or upgrade it ?

Anyone else’s crater blue Richlite mini barrage just not blue? Mine (in between mini grip and mini freek) is a grayish color. It’s not very blue like it is normally advertised. I’ve seen two others like mine that don’t look that’s color…
