What should I get for 20 Euros (with 10 Euro eBay coupon)
on: March 29, 2016, 10:52:06 AM
So... I have a 10 Euro eBay coupon (needs minimum 20 Euros spent to use) and I'm missing an edc Tinker and a 10 and 12 Opinel.
Always wanted to try a Sebbie and a Rat too....

What would you get if you were me?
And yes, I need EU prices... I can barely get to the postoffice nowadays, let alone to customs...

Voted for the Sanrenmu, second choice Tinker. If I was to pick a Ganzo it would be between the 729 and 733. Damn it, now I want another knife.   :facepalm:

Nice choices... however for the SRM I could get it from Spambest for 6 Euros shipped.. on eBay it gets around 18 Euros.
Tinker I want to edc, but I'm sure I could find a used one at a decent price at some point.

Never 729 or 733.. I love Spyderco too much  ::)

Don't get the SRM, Corwyn. I will add one for you to your stuff. I will just throw it in the box before wrapping everything.
Do you prefer black or silver color?
I have both without any use signs.
Just get something else with the credit and enjoy it, you are a nice person to talk with !

 :drink:

Thanks again Peacent... so happy... I know it's not an expensive knife but I really wanted one and getting  to customs to get a package is a nightmare to me.. I need a day off and to spend more on gas than the knife is worth...

Seeing your votes, guys, I'm leaning more towards the 12 Slim Bubinga... I have a wonderful, trustworthy Tinker... it's just that I'm apprehensive to edc it any more... it was my first ever sak and a birthday gift from my then girlfriend (now wife). I lost it once in Greece, found it two days later, lost it at this year's Christmas party, found it (through a friend of a friend) again in February and I'm afraid the third time I'd lose it for real...
Plus... a Tinker should be easy to find second hand at some point right? I mean, I think I only paid retail for 5 saks out of 200-ish...

Strange thing is Europe seems to be low on Philipses... I had 3 TSA packages over time... a bunch of rare-ish stuff, a hoard of Spartans/Campers/Climbers but not a single Tinker... heck not even lowtech (who has everything - despite not collecting  ::) ) doesn't have one...

Hope you like it...it is a true slicer, dressy and cute knife. Smooth and solid locking as well. Incredible value, IMO.





as for the OP, I'd get the Opinel if you haven't tried one yet. They just have to be handled and used once to see their true appeal and potential. The Tinker is a really nice option, but I'm sure you can get them by many different means, and are easier to find both online and in stores. Anyway, I don't think you'll go wrong with any of those!

The tribe has spoken...

One Opinel 12 Slim Bubinga on its way to me:



It's my first Nr. 12, my first Slimline and my first Bubinga. Really looking forward to it.

Thank you all for your votes and suggestions, thank you lowtech for forwarding this to me and most of all, thank you ThePeacent for your wonderful gift.  :salute:
