At least in Germany they are available in bigger hardware stores... if you take your knife with you, you might be able to test what works best. It's a pity that the knife manufacturers couldn't agree on one standard screw for the bigger knives. 3-point, 5-point and now the new triangular screw... I don't see myself spending $15 on a tool for a $10 knife. 8CR13MoV is the steel used on most of the blades from ED and I noticed that it is more brittle than ... let's say 420 steel... probably due to its higher hardness. So they don't take abusive tasks too well.... but they are very affective slicers.
Because SRM discontinue for these models: 905,962,910 etc,So we have no plan to produce 5 pivot screw tool,
So you now just use a plier instead.BTW,when you try to loose the screw,pls make it hot first,because there is put some glue,you'd better to melt it,then would be easier to loose the screw.
Abt 3-point screw tool,i still waiting for production.i will use it match work with Enlan knives.
Hi! Is there any way to find out how close we are to the next raffle. I'm having trouble deciding what to order and would like to estimate how much time I have to decide (before the next raffle).
afaik 59.86
Hi Kumabear ;-)
This post explains how to log in for checking the actual status yourself.
Don't forget to click on "ALL" in the drop down menu (preset is only "100" visible entries) once you have logged in and if you click on sort by "date" you get a better idea how much time will be left... unless someone buys knives for $900 like in the last raffle. If you want to generate further money for the giveaways you can also use hbombs affiliate links to enter the shop. So you would contribute the maximum for the giveaways later by using the affiliate link and the coupon... it wouldn't cost you 1 dime extra and you later have the chance to participate in the raffles and win something nice.
The information is very much appreciated. Regards, -Bob- (KumaBear)
Update: BLF-Pot is full for raffle number 3. New orders are for raffle 4 from now on

thx for the update!
Is there still time to be included in this raffle? Thanks in advance for the information and Regards, KumaBear.
The pot for the 3rd raffle is full (I updated post #166), but the pot for the 4th is already at ~$27... within a day.. some people are going crazy with the coupon. So after the raffle is before the raffle. ;-) I will set up a participation thread for raffle 3 today or tomorrow.
Update: The thread is active
I dont get the saying :D
Anyway.. am glad that the pot for raffle#3 is full already. Last night i was thinking to buy something (anything!) only to be able to participate. Quite pathetic i am lol. The closure of participation took away my decision to order something or not. I feel relieved, thanks!! ;)
I hope the spending frenzy stops eventually, I can't organize a raffle every 3 days.
Already at $36.81 46.96 85.26 for raffle #4 that's crazy... did we make the frontpage of facebook or something?
Update: I think I figured out, what is happening... somebody (probably a BLF member?) posted the coupon on Red Flag Deals.... so Exduct is probably overrun by Canadians. :bigsmile: Who would have thought something like this would have such an impact... but see for yourself. (+ the end of post #166 ...starting at order number 8609). You can clearly see, when the deal was reported.

How slow do they ship to Canada? Two weeks? Three?
I think it depends on what shipping option you choose... the slowest takes around 2.5-3 weeks to Germany.
Raffle #4 pot is already at $85.
Participation thread for the 3rd Raffle is still open for business until Friday.
good luck everybody!! (when i bought something from exduct i used the wrong coupon code, that's why i cant participate in this raffle)
First of all: Thanks again, Vectrex, for all your effort! It's highly appreciated!
A question popped up regarding the current sales-explosion at exduct using the BLFgiveaway-code probably mostly by non-BLFers: What happens if we have less than 5 BLFers participating in a raffle? I know that's not very likely, but not entirely impossible either. I don't really have anything to say here because I didn't cotribute in any other way but by yelling repeatedly "I want to participate...", but my suggestion would be: If there will be any "leftovers" in a raffle it should go to Mr. Admin.
Leftovers could go into a present/coupon for Mr. Admin, or be divided between the winners. In the past Mr. Admin declined some coupons/presents, when they weren't forced on him :bigsmile: ... also he hasn't shown much interest in the subject. He let's us have fun with the whole knife topic... but he doesn't follow what's happening in the world of knives from what I have gathered from public and PM posts.
It was just a thought. I got the impression that force you must almost anything you want to give to the Admin, no matter what.
And btw Exduct has other items than knives, too (as I recently discovered :bigsmile: )
We should ask him first, if he would accept a coupon... knives are something I would never use as a "surprise gift"... customs/security etc. .... but somehow I doubt that we will ever have the case, where we have less than 5 participants.... but we will see.
11 participants so far in the 3rd raffle!!
