Gocomma assisted & manual flipper knives

Thanks for the heads up, I had not looked lately. This one is extremely nice too… and the clip on it is very good from the get go. :wink:

Good, glad they showed up & you like them. :+1:

Were they worth the wait ‘grasshopper’??? :smiley: . :wink:

Mmmmm, I’m rather impatient, so…

Next batch’ll probably take over a month, too. :confounded:

/\… Maybe not…… :wink:

4 more of my GoCommas arrived today, leaving only 1 still in transit. :wink:

The last 6 of the Damascus & Wood got here too.

Visually they all appear as the first ones. Excellent fit n’ finish, every one of them.

Resisting the urge to order a few more to sell. :wink:

Got my few in the mail today. Mighty fine little knife. Sharp as can be. That is possibly the sharpest knife right out of the box I have ever received. I think it’s tied with the Sanrenmu 1161 for sharpest. Nice thick liner, decent lock up and the G10 isn’t too thick or too thin. Definitely a win. I am keeping one and passing one on to a buddy. Think I will grab a few more for Xmas gifts this year as well. I’ll keep an eye on the price.

Thanks again for the heads up teacher.

My pleasure toddcshoe, glad you like it. I fully agree with what you said about it too. It’s just a great little knife.
I guess we all can thank raccoon city for calling attention to it by starting this thread. Glad I ordered my first one & saw how good it was. The rest is history… for all of us…. :wink:

My last one arrived today. Gave a couple to 2 friends today too.

Contemplating ordering a few more…… :+1: . :money_mouth_face: . :money_mouth_face:

I only created this thread because I thought I found large nice-looking assisted-openers at a low price.

I am glad people like the knives they have received, however.

You never did order one?

Thanks for starting the thread. I remember when you first brought it up I was going to order off of ebay I think. They sat in my cart for a while and I never did complete the purchase. Teacher giving it rave reviews finally made me order a few.

I ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet.

There's a bunch of Gocomma knives on Flash Sale:

it's hard to see what all the fuss is about these Glaucoma knives.

I got mine the other day and cut myself three 4 times with it . The blade was very loose and it flipped back on my thumb twice .right on top of the cut that had just stopped bleeding. The other was when I used the blade to scratch the back of my wrist ...two more little cuts ... made it an even 4 cuts in about 20 minutes of chatting with friends and playing with my new knife . Later on I found a T8 torx bit and tightened the blade because it was sloppy loose .I didn't expect it to flip as quickly after snugging the screw down but it just got rid of the blade play and didn't affect the opening speed. It does close a bit slower but it was way too loose to start .

My thumb thanked me .

I give it a 1 and a half thumbs up

Whatever your reason, it worked out well. Thanks again rc. :beer:

Wellp, you can always join the yakuza…

Just got my two knives in today, booth are the 8cm blade. Going to carry one for a few days, see how it compares to the longer one I got earlier.

Now this… is sharp.

I couldn’t figure out how to post this, so just had to post a link. :person_facepalming:

Ugh. Don’t talk to me about sharp.

Used my Winco chinese cleaver, was washing it off as gingerly as I always do it, carefully because I know it’s sharp… I just lightly creased the flappy fold of skin between thumb and forefinger on the blade and felt it… barely.

Hmm, whew, ain’t bleeding. Ummm, nope, it’s bleeding. Oh yeah, it’s bleeding. Little stoopit “papercut” with the blade, but oh boy did it cut.

For a 10buk cleaver, it’s like a f’n samurai sword.

Just for a change.
I bought a coupla Japanese Kitchen knives for Daughters wedding present. 54 yrs. 3 kids. First wedding.
Says she was just making sure.
12 days fro Japan to Queensland. (Not bad)

Damn nice knives. Single edged Aogame Blue.
But, Cheapest I could get That I liked, were $300 plus each.
She;d better bloody like them.
Oh. She is a chef.

Ah well.
Back to my $12 speshuls again hey.
My little black SRM 6040 arives a coupla days ago.
Without the stupid clip, It’s a nice keyring knife.
Putting clips on those tiny things is a waste of materials I reckon.

SRM 6040 - I bought them for my kids last year. Every kid needs a small lock back don’t they. Hollow blade and sharp - good enough for them to carve their initials on trees …. Because that’s what they’re meant for isn’t it?

That is a level of sharpening I have never achieved. stunning. Must be a really high quality steel and someone who knows what to do with it.

I sharpen on a Lansky and then strop to 1K and 3K. fairly sharp, but not “slicing a tomato while it is sitting there sharp”.
