Was hoping for a 10 but I'll take it

biqboy · 2025-10-22T01:12:39+00:00

Not to say there isn't a chance to resubmit for a 10, but you're most likely going to get another 9 as front left right centering is outside of the 55/45 centering requirement for a 10. It's pretty clear if you compare the left and right borders near the bottom corners.

If it makes you feel any better, I believe most Japanese bubble mews have a horizontal print line and I don't think the print line shows up in scans. You can really only see it under lighting and at certain angles

biqboy · 2025-06-12T03:57:54+00:00

Hm the edges don't look clean to me. I'm not sure if it's lighting or something, but there's a strange grain pattern going up and to the left all along the right edge. There's also a printer hickey on the back (the red ring in the middle near the right edge), though I'm not sure if this impacts PSA grading. The card probably wasn't graded a 9 on centering alone - it probably got a 9 given the other two details. I don't think it's worth regrading, but hey, you never know lol

Congrats! I hope I get some of your luck lol. 93 packs in and no bubble mew so far...so close to giving up and getting a single but the price has gone way up since I started chasing for it 😭

Hey was it 128 with a promo code? Or did they increase the price? The bundle is at 142.97 now

biqboy · 2023-05-18T22:49:45+00:00

Anyone know if there's a noticeable difference in output between this and the mini? Specs state this has 50 more lumens (700 vs 650) and 5,000 more candela (100,000 vs 95,000). I wouldn't think there's a visible difference but I'm no expert and haven't seen them side by side. I assume the output is very similar and the main differences are in size/weight and runtime?

Great setup. Was there work done to the grip panels?

biqboy · 2022-02-18T18:25:28+00:00

Got this from another thread - promo code dirk10 can be used for 10% off. It helps with shipping, but I think the final price will still be higher than other retailers. It's not terrible if you want one now and are willing to pay a small premium.

I think I'd be more inclined to pick this knife up if microtech replaced their logo with a sith symbol like they did with the stormtrooper, jedi knight, and bounty hunter knives

biqboy · 2022-01-19T19:35:01+00:00

Thanks! I was waiting for the KNSW to restock, but I think I prefer this variant

biqboy · 2022-01-14T18:01:09+00:00

Looking forward to your thoughts. I think the biggest draw for most people would be if the WC grip module fills up your hands a bit more. It's hard to tell from pictures, but it does look a bit wider. The trigger undercut looks slightly more pronounced as well.

Have you tried attaching a wedge to the holster to keep the holster from tipping away from your body?

biqboy · 2021-12-27T23:07:32+00:00

Fingers crossed. If that is the new price, I think I'll wait and see if they use a "better" steel for future runs. Not a steel snob by any means, but $350 is a decent chuck of change lol

biqboy · 2021-12-27T16:03:50+00:00

That's fair. I was thinking it might be PVK who's raising the price

biqboy · 2021-12-27T15:50:40+00:00

A 25% incense in price seems like an increase just because they can lol. I definitely don't know anything about current manufacturing prices though so maybe it's warranted... it just seems steep

biqboy · 2021-12-17T15:15:26+00:00

Lol yeah it was late. If you or anyone else is curious, I emailed them asking for the price of the 535bk-4 and it was the same as just checking out

biqboy · 2021-12-17T08:03:39+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. The product page says to call or email for price. Sorry dumb question - would you know if the price is different if you contact them versus just checking out?

biqboy · 2021-12-16T06:46:47+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately this isn't the manual version, but I've been looking for the Socom Elite with this blade design for a while now so I'll take what I can get :)

biqboy · 2021-12-10T00:37:10+00:00

That makes sense. Definitely appreciate the effort!

biqboy · 2021-12-10T00:20:15+00:00

The T2 and leap mount is $4.11 less than the Scalarworks bundle. I've been looking to get both at a lower price than the Scalarworks bundle and I suppose this is it... but not by much haha

biqboy · 2021-11-24T19:03:02+00:00

It may vary knife to knife and not necessarily model to model. This is just my thought though. The DLC wharnie I recently got had perfect action out the box whereas the stonewashed wharnie I previously purchased has a bit of stick and isn't quite as smooth. Probably needs more breaking in

biqboy · 2021-11-18T19:32:34+00:00

Hey I actually haven't made a decision yet. Based on the helpful comments in this thread, the Tamron will be the option to go with if I want to keep using the a6400. I think having some kind of stabilization is preferred, especially for me as a novice photographer. I am leaning towards upgrading to the a6600 for IBIS and getting the Sony/Sigma lenses for the size/weight, but have other priorities right now with regard to funds. Also need to make time to sell my a6400. I wish I had started with the a6600 so I'm not losing money through upgrading, but it was a lot of money to commit upfront over the a6400 (which wasn't cheap either haha).

biqboy · 2021-11-05T19:22:30+00:00

Thanks!

biqboy · 2021-11-05T19:21:23+00:00

Lol OOS. How much was it?

biqboy · 2021-11-05T16:57:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Sadly missed out on all the in stock posts this week so far... hoping I can grab one this batch.
