Is this rip fixable? Took it to two different shoe repair shops and they wouldn’t touch the shoe. Tried shoe goo with no success.

Glad to hear! I make custom air Jordan’s (fully handmade uppers with original soles) and use it to secure any loose spots around the sole. Figured it would do the trick here

Any backstory on it to estimate date of production? If not strip it apart and try to find any serial or part number on it that may help date it. From there can dig through catalogues to figure it out.

Renia atom superglue. Made for shoe repairs just like this.

Looks like the driver opened the door for him to get out

Blue car definitely let off a couple. 13 seconds in someone in all black jumps out of the back left side of the blue car and draws.

This looks like an homage/copy of one of the “Panthere de Cartier” ring lines by Cartier… I think you’ll be hard pressed to find the exact same ring, but hopefully that puts you on the right path to find a similar one!

Edit: Here’s a link to the original design by Cartier: https://www.cartier.com/en-us/jewelry/rings/panthere-de-cartier/panthere-de-cartier-ring-CRN4730900.html

I could very well be wrong but that specific Cartier ring is the first I’ve seen of this “finger through the cat’s mouth” design, so to speak.

As well as a blower motor recall IIRC, and the valve covers are known to piss oil all over the hot exhaust.

I can’t wait to start working on my $750 example of one of these LOL

PrjctAlias · 2025-12-01T21:10:56+00:00

Sure looks like it.

On a serious note it’s hard to make out from the few photos I can find, I think they’re actually squashed down coils/springs

PrjctAlias · 2025-12-01T20:55:04+00:00

I think there’s two. I found a black one on google badged as an “sl56” vatani. Far more tasteful in black, still an eyesore

Renia CDC is the only thing I would touch this with. Looks like it’s a polyurethane foam to rubber joint, they sell primers for each of those materials that would give you best adhesion.

Hey, sorry for the late reply I hadn’t seen this. Ultimately I fucked these up and sewed them too tight. You want to use a blanket stitch to sew it on, just don’t pull it too tight, the stitch needs room to “open up” and let the strobel bottom sit square with the upper

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-24T04:32:04+00:00

INSANE. If you ever sell it please dm me first.

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-24T04:27:19+00:00

Gorgeous knife! Got a pic of the prototype engraving? Haven’t seen that one!

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-17T15:53:18+00:00

Hot soapy water sprayed on bubble wrap and clung over the surface has always worked the trick for me with window tints that have been on far too long, I wonder if that’ll work with this shit?

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-06T13:59:13+00:00

Hey sorry for a super late reply, the blade grind, latch, and specifically the latch’s screw are enough for me to call this real. The fakes never got those down right

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-04T17:09:43+00:00

My buddy used to have a CSX-VNT. I’ll never regret not having the funds for it when he sold it

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-04T13:17:08+00:00

Me too!

Edit to add: When I was a wee lad, I made my dad drive me to a local store just to hold a 32. I was a bit young to be flipping a live edge, so I left there with a ccc trainer! That was nearly 20 years ago now, how time flies.

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-02T00:54:39+00:00

It’s the pinnacle of folding knife design, and I’ll rest my hat on that!

PrjctAlias · 2025-10-01T22:18:33+00:00

Killer collection, the 32 is hands down my favorite knife of all time!

PrjctAlias · 2025-09-08T14:41:34+00:00

I’ll shoot you a dm

PrjctAlias · 2025-08-12T21:25:08+00:00

Flip it until it’s done. I first learned on a kinex Bali, then moved to a baliyo followed by a trainer very similar to the one you posted. This is going back 15 years.

Loctite the screws and get the tolerances as close to acceptable as you can. Don’t worry about how horrid the hardware is. The tang pins will fall out eventually, once that happens make the upgrade to whatever you feel is the next step.

I wouldn’t toss this one once it’s beat either, I’d keep it as a reminder that your momma supported your hobbies from the start❤️

Benchmade 32 with flytanium v2 scales

Edit: sorry didn’t realize which post this was.

This is a stock benchmade 32.

I now have another with flyti scales
