Product Description
The Jesper Voxnaes–designed Suru won Blade Show’s 2018 “Overall Knife of the Year” award. Sporting a Drop-exclusive combination of Bohler M390 steel, a Ergal 7075 aluminum handle, and a bold blue colorway, this version is even better Read More
I saw one of these for sale on the secondary market. Curious what the original sale price was on Drop. I can't find that listed anywhere on the site. Thank you.
I got my knife few days and it is absolutely amazing. Little smaller than I thought. But amazing ergos.
The only thing that is bothering me is the frame lock. It is too stiff and really difficult to disengage.
Anyone else facing the same problem?
How did you solve it?
I find it’s so frustrating that Vox designs never seem to be left-landed compatible. I know more people are right handed and I accept that companies will design their products as such, but at least make the pocket clip ambidextrous
I appreciate the information. I only skimmed the comment and was admittedly sidetracked and jumped to a conclusion.
I fully agree with everything you've detailed here and in your linked post above. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. Hopefully some of these manufacturers that want to charge premium prices will start use steel that is worth that premium.
Over paying for bunk premium steel really sucks. I'd rather buy that same knife in something done right. Even if it's "only" Sandvik. At least I wouldn't be overpaying for under performance.
yes and no.
as customers, we cant really look at the microstructure of the knife beforehand (unless you have visible microstructures like D2). therefore we use rockwell C, which gives some indication of how well the steel is heat treated. and we have to trust anecdotal evidence from other people who actually do these tests. its rather time consuming for regular knife folks. (side note, totally reminded of ZT when they started using s35vn and couldnt heat treat them properly. pretty sure they fixed that by now, its been years)
definitely made this mistake, when i accidentally decarbonized 0-1, but then i thought i would just heat treat it to a higher hardness. edge holding is complete crap, but it still maintained its toughness
I came back to buy this knife because the add I saw here in DROP said that its scales were TITANIUM. Huge mistake. For a stunning version of the titanium scaled SURU see Urban EDC Supply. Unfortunately, all blues are sold out...
So yes it was certainly a more attractive option when Titanium scales were part of the item description.
And of course the detent on Maniago made knives isnt always perfect. It will never fall shut like a WE or ZT.
But this is a knife I have wanted for ages (particularly the CF model). And hard anodized blue aluminum can look really really good in person (see the mordax for a great example).
So I'm in on this one.
Something else I wanted to mention is the relatively soon expected ship date. I wish more Drop orders would ship right after the drop period ends
Update for those that joined the drop before this post. We mistakenly listed the handle as Titanium, but it is actually Aluminum. Our CS team will be reaching out to the members that have already joined with the option to cancel their orders should they no longer want the knife with an aluminum handle.
kstokleyIt seems there should be a price adjustment based on this new information. Titanium is a very premium material, especially compared to aluminum. I would think that the price for this knife was set based on the incorrect information and subsequently, a price change and partial refund should be in order. Thank you.
