Title: ADV Trailboss S35Vn Ti Flipper
Post by: Max Stone on March 29, 2019, 07:36:28 PM
Was gifted this today by a good friend.

Full titanium stonewashed handle and milled clip. Satin-finish 3.9 inch S35Vn blade, IKBS bearings and ceramic detent. Flips like a dream.

Mid-tech small batch build by Andre de Villiers, ADV Tactical, in South Africa. Some international representation if you look around.

SOB (seriously overbuilt) for what I normally carry, but one impressive knife!  :like:

Max,

Cheers! :cheers:

Just took a look at the shipping status and it still says it is on the way from the international hub in Miami, FL.
Have you ever had anything take 6 weeks or more to arrive from the US to South Africa?
I tried calling USPS the last time we PM'd, but they said it was "in transit."  :facepalm:

I ordered some Nixie tubes once that took 10 weeks to arrive from Russia, but have never dealt with shipping out to South Africa. :ahhh

Yes, can take a while. The central sorting hub in South Africa can be a big delay. It will come, eventually  :)

Good to know that it is common to take so long.  :cheers:
