NurvNo idea, I don't know how Drop ships things. I would imagine they get shipped to Drop who then ships them out, my last knife didn't come from China.
NurvMine is also out for delivery, I'll be swinging by my house at lunch to pick it up. Hoping the micarta feels like the GiantMouse Biblio and not the crappy Civivi micarta they used on the Elementum :(
RonricoYep, just opened it. Very pleased with the handle material and definitely a nice micarta. Smooth opening and closing, great ergos, definitely worth the price.
