Just a follow up review for anyone who's still watching this:
Picked up a twin for my Goblin in a fancy black tie trim from @Scraps here.
And as for the carbon fiber: it's super nice in person. Matte finished, smooth and well machined but still almost grippy in the hand.But now I understand why there aren't any really great pictures of it, this stuff is a bitch to photograph, here's a comparison of how it looks with 2 different light sources:
And a very unflattering angle for the blade, but showcases the CF well:
Lastly, I just realized there was a lot of discussion over blade size before the drop, but didn't see anyone verify it since, so here's what I got for that:
Hope someone finds this information useful if this drop comes around again, or for troubleshooting purposes on other Bestech knives.

New work facility has a stupid 2.5" rule, so I'm looking at picking up this little guy or a dragonfly (probably the knife center exclusive Hap40/wood model).
I like the look and materials of the goblin, and I've heard good things about bestech, but the blade thickness has me concerned. 0.14 is pretty beefy for such a short blade, but the blade is tall. Anyone have any thoughts on how this thing slices? Will this thing cut well enough or should I just buy the dragonfly?
Who am I kidding, I'll probably end up with both.
And a lil native.

I really want to get in on this, but I can't justify purchasing yet another knife on here until I flip a few of my own.(anyone interested in an original Benchmade 1000 auto Spike?)
Anyone think we could expect to see this knife going for somewhere around the drop price, or see it return to MassDrop sometime in the near future? I don't recall seeing Bestech repeats on here, just one new model after another. I can be convinced to go $120, but $200? That puts you not too far from some super bad ass blades.

Do it! Nothing sweeter than a fully DIY custom job, like a lingerie model with a PhD... nice to look at and can carry a conversation!

Hey all - I wanted to give you a quick update on this drop. Due to incorrect pricing on the Goblin, we decided it was in the best interest for our vendor and for the community to end the drop early and cancel the orders. Everyone who joined the drop will receive a $10 coupon and your order will be cancelled. The Goblin will run later this week with updated pricing. We’re sorry for the confusion and inconvenience with this drop and the pricing issue. Thank you for your patience as we correct the page and get it back up.

^^^This. MassDrop, could you please add pivot type to your list of specs moving forward?! There has to be an internal checklist you use as a template for these listings. It has to be the most frequently requested item.

ezcon1972Bestech has burst onto the scene after years as an OEM. The knives are high value for what you get. Their budget line is probably the best there is. A great new company. Competition is great for us enthusiasts.

ezcon1972I have 2 knives from this brand, both from previous Massdrop sales. They're both great knives, solid construction, blades are centered, deployment is smooth, lockup is good. Definitely worth the price point.

Could we please have less knives, and more actually useful real ultralite hiking & camping gear? What has happened to Drop? Knife after knife after knife after knife after knife - one is quite enough thanks, and they don't even ship internationally. Can we please return to gear that is actually relevant to ultralite? Zpacks, HMG, MLD, Evernew, ... Packs, stoves, quilts, headlamps, parkas, ...

Conversation with a fraud protection agent from my bank this AM...
Agent: Did you make two separate purchases of $490 at an online retailer last night? Me: No, I make only responsible, well informed financial decisions. Agent: And did you purchase yet another knife for $130 last night? Me: ...shut up.

Thank you (not) for cancelling my order (first drop) but still cashing the payment! Yes, it was refunded very quickly but VISA charged me twice (euro to dollar and then dollar to euro again) for the currency conversion... (5% op the total payment!) So no "full refund" received! First and last time I tried Massdrop!

He didn't get ripped off at all.
" I would never settle for anything over 1% ". Well you don't really have a choice as this is set by the banks and CC companies.
I understand that US member don't come across this situation very often since most of their purchases is done in the US but a 2.5% FX fee for international members is standard, so in both directions, it's 5%. Not with MD but this has happened to me in a few instances.
I also understand that MD needs the funds up front in order to place the order but there is no need to charge members the same second that the order is placed. They could charge members the second the drops end. That way, in a drop that goes through, they still would have their money up front. In a drop that falls apart like this one, no need to process any refund.
Now about the knife, I really like the look of it and I was already debating between getting it or not at $89. At $119, although a good price, I'll have to pass, already spent too much on knives the past month.
