Good instincts. 
2 Cold Steel Pro-Balance throwing knives. Very nice balance, as expected from the name. 
A bit on the hefty side, but they land with a decidedly satisfying “THUNK !”
Nice!
I got the SRM 710 SS today. I’m still trying to get the clip off. I got 2 or 3 screws out and the last one has a stripped head.
I’ve tried using a heat gun to help things along. This is irritating of course I just want the x@# clip off!
The knife is nice however
Just take a file and file a slot into it.
Or slot it with a cut-off disc with a dremel ...
I don’t have a dremel and I don’t think I have a file thin enough for this tiny screw. If I’m not careful I’ll just mess up the surface of the knife.
Those are good ideas however. I’ll try to figure out a method for putting a slot into it.
Couldn't you just use the corner of the file or is this a really tiny screw? You could also try grabbing it with a pair of locking pliers.
This is a really tiny screw. This is a fairly small knife and the 3 screws holding on the clip are very small.
[update] I finally got it off. I don’t understand why they make these so hard to get off. It’s not reversible but they’ve got to know that not everyone wants a clip.
Ultimately I tried using pliers to grab the clip and tried to rotate in an effort to move the screw. I ripped the clip off but the screw didn’t budge. I didn’t have a file small enough and ended up heating the screw again and using the original hex tool again with a lot of downward pressure and I managed to get the screw out!
It’s a nice knife and I was thinking of perhaps getting one of the other 710’s with the camouflaged handles but I think I’ll just be happy with this one now after all this work.
I received the SRM PR-603 today. It’s a nice little knife. It has handles of the same wood like material and color as the SRM 6261.
The blade and knife itself is just marginally larger than the SRM 605. The blade doesn’t have a choil so you can’t get your pinkie finger on the knife.
There is no clip (which is a plus for me since I don’t have to remove it). It has no play and opens easily. It has a liner lock. It’s quite attractive in general.
I got it on ebay (from China) and received it in about 10 days.
Got a Tk35 in today!!! Sweet light!!
Is it sharp ?
I got a credit card/paypal bill today…wah wahhh.
Cutting edge humor
Got a Ceramic blade knife from DX. Very nice! Super sharp. The one with the wood grain on the handle. Sharper than any metal knifes I’ve got.
Any opions on ceramics out there? I know they’re more brittle, but hold their sharpness longer. Looking for another one now……
Sanrenmu 681. LINK
Very pleased with it, lockback, superb little keychain knife/bottle opener 8)
SRM 681 “in action”:
It’s basically just harder steel. It’s more brittle too, over time it can get like stresss fractures. And because it’s so hard, it’s really hard to sharpen! Most knife enthusiasts tend to stick with just good old steel. But some people like it!
nice… it doesn’t look too big
I received this [Ganzo G710](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Ganzo-G710-Axis-Lock-Folding-Knife-440c-Blade-Waved-G10-Handle-w-Nylon-Sheath-/00/s/NjU5WDk5Mg%3D%3D/%24(KGrHqR,!hQE7Qv-Rr9CBO8cILY5og~~60_57.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ganzo-G710-Axis-Lock-Folding-Knife-440c-Blade-Waved-G10-Handle-w-Nylon-Sheath-/280789304292&h=659&w=992&sz=179&tbnid=EZGjlpKJL_8OcM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&zoom=1&usg=__qJ1qk1Ylk2to9WTkM-0AXgNkX2c=&docid=iAK9Tu9f5uU99M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=i0EUUJXXDImq8ASMrYD4Dg&sqi=2&ved=0CGIQ9QEwBg&dur=521) knife today. I am floored that you can get this nice of a knife for under twenty bucks.

This is my first budget knife and first axis lock though. I am probably easily impressed. Not sure it can knock out my Kershaw Blur that I have been carrying for around five years. Love it though.
