If the price is right I am interested in:
1 off H230-D
1 off H300-C
Thanks,
Stephen
depending on price and when the money is due i could go for one of H230-D
Good idea Andy. We could perhaps do with an American 'facilitator' for this to *cough* reduce costs.

H 300 CB for me Andy if the price is right.
That's ten
you will have noticed I haven't put myself on the list. I'm currently looking for a job for my year in industry and if I don't find one then due to the way things work I'll have to pay £400 to retake a module of my second year
Good idea Andy. We could perhaps do with an American 'facilitator' for this to *cough* reduce costs.

Danzo
Looks over shoulder . . . :| :( :C :O Me?? :) Sure guys, hook me up with the source, and I'll get it going :D Not sure how much of a discount I can get, but will see if they are willing to do a GB with discount.
cheers
I would be up for either a H230-C or a H300-C, not sure which yet, probably going to sketch out their sizes to get a feel for which would suit me best.
Again subject to cost and when the money would be required.
Cheers, Phil
Having to be very restrained ( I think my spleen just exploded because of that)
just an H300-C for me please
please close this thread before I get back in from drinking (my willpower is beer-soluble)
I'd like an H230-D please.
Sunnie

rapidboy
03-07-06, 11:29 PM
Might be interested in a H300-C
I'm rather alamed about the number now involved. How many of these things are made?
Kakster
03-07-06, 11:55 PM
Im in for one of the small uncoated blades - H230-C
Been lusting after one for a while now.
Can add me as definate for a H230-D :D
Cheers Andy,

04-07-06, 07:04 AM
Can you change mine from H300-CB to H300-D please....i just realised i have enough in the 'Bank of Yarrow'to buy the damascus one...Thanks
Mik
I'm rather alamed about the number now involved. How many of these things are made?
No idea but this does highlight the difference between group buys for low value items where a discount will be available, and a bulk buy.
If this is to be a group buy, organised by one person they are going to need to lay out well over $2000 at current numbers, and face a huge VAT and Duty bill unless *cough* other arrangements are made.
I'm not sure if this is practical on this scale, unless someone wants to open direct discussions with William Henry and point out the benefits to them of having a lot of members of the UKs only knife forum ordering in bulk from a company not normally well represented on our pages.
Danzo
MagiKelly
04-07-06, 09:54 AM
I may be interested in an H230-D but as with most things it will depend on price.
I suspect that depending on discount the final numbers for the group buy may be substantially less than the current list.
I just emailed WH direct I hope that helps. I suspect they may just give me details of a shop we might be able to buy from
Stephen63
04-07-06, 01:38 PM
Andy,
Please put me down for a Small blade with damacus laminate, H230-D, although slightly dependant on final price.
madhaha
04-07-06, 05:40 PM
Wanted: one H230-D
For Sale: one arm, one leg (no returns)
I blame Yarrow.
Guys
We have at least one store in the US who will sort us out and sort out a price. I'm going to wait another day and see if WH get back to me
Other options have been suggested which I will look into as well
Ratel10mm
04-07-06, 09:46 PM
Thanks to that bar steward Yarrow, I'd like to have one. But I really can't even think of it right now. :C
If it's okay with you Andy, I'll keep an eye on this thread in the hope that I may win the lottery in time to jump on board!
Andy ?
Can add me as definate for a H230-D :D
Cheers Andy,
Alick
That meant "please count me in for one and thank you to Andy for running this thread" :D
Sorry for the confusion, Alick
sorry I missed you off the list, your on it now:), I hope I've got the numbers right.
Maybe we should do something like buying one of each size and getting them shipped first and doing a few comparison shots shots to help people decide which model they want. I think a passaround would take too long but I could get hold of a large plain one and a small damacus one now
That sounds like an excellent plan. Visually I prefer the smaller one (the back/butt of the handle has a nicer curve to it but I'm just not sure how it's going to fit in the hand. At least if someone has handled one I'd have a better idea. There's also matters like ease of opening, and general fit/finish that could be answered.
Another questions - the damascus one in the pics has file work on the rear piece of the tang, I'm assuming the plain blades do also but I've not found a picture yet.
Thanks, Phil

H300-c for me pls:)
madhaha
04-07-06, 11:59 PM
I second getting a sample first. I don't often Need a 3 inch blade for EDC but if the handle is too small, its too small :P
I've asked for a shoo to reserve their current stock of things on the list and hope to work something out. We do have members that have already ordered these knives so hopefully they will get them soon and be able to help
H230-C for me please.
hopefully it wont be too small

Just for clarity Andy is this now a group buy and not just possible interest?
Danzo
It's not confirmed yet as I'm still sorting things out.
It could be that we just sort out a discount at one store but still buy individualy for import reasons

05-07-06, 11:55 PM
I'm sooooo interested but it will depend on the price ...
Mike.
Guys I have had a reply and confirmation on a discount we can get
William henry wont offer any discount as part of their policy, this is fairly standard so was expected.
Dan Delavan at Plaza Cutlery is offering a15% discount though which is rather good :D
He has told me that it would cost less at that end to post in one big lot but understands that we may get hit for more taxes plus RMSD at this end so will ship them one to each person directly if we want. I think most people will want this with the basic postage and not get hit for taxes
I mentioned getting some straight away but they would need to be full price and then credit us back when we pay for the others and this would all get a bit complicated. He has offered to do some comparison shots for us though which is all we'd really get if we got some over here anyway.
Please would everyone confirm what they want ASAP
Has anyone seen a shot of the slip/carry case it comes with?
I am right in assuming it has no pocket clip on it.
Cheers, Phil
Maybe a little list of pics we could do with
small sebbi
large sebbi
top view
slip sheath
madhaha
06-07-06, 10:39 AM
The WH site lists the Legacy as coming with a slipcase and not a clipcase. There's some photos on this Japanese site with the case in the background:
http://www.yamahide.com/factory/wh/legacy.htm
Alternatively you can probably persuade the dealer to sell you one of the other cases:

H300-D please and if possible a stingray pouch as well to fit (see post #49)
Mik
Yeup, I definitely want the one I indicated interest in. Looks great.
It would be ideal if one could order a clipcase to go with it at the same time.
Thanks,
Sunnie
I'm sure we can sort something out for clip cases. I will email the dealer later today as he's given me a time when he can respond that fastest (time zones and all that)
I think I'll be paying for everything in one go but maybe people will pay direct

Mik
If we(I) need to pay for everything in one go that I will give prices in GBP, this will have to allow for slight changes in exchange rates and any fees involved in internatinal bank transfers (which I'm investigating this afternoon)
Hi Andy...can you confirm me for one H300-CB please mate.
Nice one on getting this organised BTW :biggthump
Had to laugh! Look at the last Japanese pix, and notice on the large picture it says Regacy :) Guess they went by their own pronuciation on that LOL

Actually there's no L in the Japanese alphabet(s) and someone with rimited engrish probably did the text for them ;)
I'm down for a H230-D at the moment but I want to see what people make of the different sizes before I make my final decision if that's ok. Also possible on the Stingray. I'm weak :(
I've just "made" replica cutout models. Well I printed out the WH knife pics to real life size.
I've cut them out and I'm now playing around with them to see which one feels better :) Not exactly cutting edge but I'm hoping it will give me an idea as I'm worried the 230 will feel too small and on the flip side the 300 might be a little longer than I would like for a gents pocket folder.
Phil
the H300 models have the same blade and overall size (give a take a few mm) as a mini grip. They are slightly smaller the a small sebenza. I am going to ask for pics of them next to these knives as I think most people will have handled these.
I'm going for a H300-C I think. I'll also be getting a clip case as this will be my EDC:)
Aw hell...if we're going for clip cases as well you'd best put me down for one too :rolleyes:
Me too. You get so used to a clip on a knife that when there isn't one it can drive you mad!
:rolleyes:

Hi Andy
Hope it's not too late to be included?
Please could you put me down as confirmed for:
1 x H300-D
1 x Black Slipcase to fit (Medium, I think)
More than happy to pay up front if required and a big thank you for your time & effort in sorting this out :love29:
not too late
I'd forgotton the cases came in black and tan
I'll need to know what colour people want
You know if everyone who's down as a possible becomes a yes I will have saved forum members £440, that is more then any other groupbuy has cost

Ha, amateur. The Insect Netting group buy on BCUK was for just under £4000 and saved over £6000 on the cost of the total purchases at non- group buy prices. Don't even start me on the savings from the 300 hammocks that have been brought in. Still you are only a boy, once you are older you can come play with the big boys :P
Anyway, can I have a black clipcase to match the handle slabs?
Keep up the good work :D and let me know when you need the money.
Andy.
Many thanks for organising this.
I've decided on a H300C if you could put me down for one and a clip case in brown if the cases are available.
Until the official size comparison piccies arrive here's my rather bad print out models :)
Left to Right.
Benchmade 551 Grip, Opi No.8, Al Mar Falcon, WH H300, WH H230, Spydie Dragonfly, Leatherman Juice.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d80/pippyd_bb/temp/Compare.jpg
The H230 felt v small in the hand as the Spydie has the benefit of your forefinger sitting half on the handle and half on the choil.
Cheers, Phil
shame I have none of those knives.
John there are hidden saving with this group buy and we're over £3k if everyone joins in

For reference I'd say I've got average sized hands.

Can you remove me from the group by, I think I'll just keep playing with my paper cut outs!!! NOT. Can't get them to hold an edge.
I need a disclaimer from everyone saying that they are happy for me to have the knife sent to them via USPS global priority which has no insurence or tracking and will not hold either myself or plaza cutlery responsable if a knife goes missing
If you aren't happy with this postage method I'll try and sort something out for you but it will cost you a lot more.

I was of course only ribbing you a little and would not want you to think I was in any way trying to diminish your efforts or achievement with the group buy.
And I am happy to take the risk on the postage.
I know john
after my first group buy I said never again. oh well
Incase people hadn't checked plaza cutlery site the basic postage to the UK costs $13. I think people with two knives will still pay $13 but it may need to go in two packages. There is also the small bank charge fee to cover me sending him the money. It's much less then doing a load of credit card transactions though

I will take cheques, cash (at sender risk) or paypal (additional fees)
I will state a final fince once everything is confirmed (I expec a couple of quid each for tha bank trasfer)
BTW Dan said WH are making these right now and it shouldn't take more then 2weeks to get this many in stock for us. Once we've all confirmed it should all be sorted in 3weeks

Andy, well done for taking this on. I was stressed enough organising a holiday for six. A thing to put on your CV no less. :happy15:
I'm just a little reminded of Father Ted Crilly: "Now I've explained this before - that money was just resting in my account!" :D
A thing to put on your CV no less.
My CV does infact mention this sort of thing. It includes information that I have been invoved with internet sales of cutlery for local buisness and I now work with a manufacturer to produce products to my specifications and that I have also worked with international companies to both import and export cutlery realted goods. I will no doubt have to go into a few details in my job interview tomorrow

Looks like I'm getting a H300-D and stingray case. With postage that comes to:

Well done Andy.
I'm definately in for the H230-D model plus a black clip case. I approve of your arrangements for shipping and will send paypal plus fees as soon as you're ready.
Thanks.

Andy, I think I'm going to have to skip this one. By my calculations the cost of the H300 in vanilla is about £81 depending on the exchange rate.
Great as that price looks, I'm in the process of buying a house & if I spend that on a knife right now I'll likely be divorced before I can say the word! :D
Very well done on this one mate, & good luck to all. :biggthump

I'm fine with the postage situation Andy. Well done in organising this. Have some rep. I think I'm going to do without the case at this stage to reduce costs though, if that's OK?

Many apologies.
Andy - I've just seen Phil's pics of the life sized paper cutouts. Can I change up to H300-D please. I think the 230 will be too small. Shame as I prefer the style of the smaller handle.
I'd still like a black clip case to suit.
Thanks.
Alick
Yup, my order is correct and I'm happy to run the postage gauntlet.
Cheers Andy.
Well If I can find the extra funds . . just spent about 150 quid fixing our car. WQe had a problem, no electric windows, and no air conditioning. So for the last 2 months we have been driving our car with no AC and no power windows, so basically real close to 40C + in our car. I got tired of in and finally got it fixed. Tired of holding the car door open while driving down the street :( But yes what I ordered is correct, just need a good lotto win :(
Oh and Plaza Cutlery is good peeps.
I noticed Dan Delavan, owner of Plaza Cutlery showed up as a new member the other day, so he probably came over to see exactly wtf was going o with us wacky Brits :D

I can't believe I saw this late. If there is any chance of squeeking in, I'm definately up for a H230-D and black clipcase to match, any postage options are OK.
I was going to order anyway, but a 15% discount would be nice ;)

To confirm that's a brown Clip case.
I've sent an emailing asking if we can sort out the knives which have been confirmed and maybe sort out the others if those people confirm in time. I'm waiting to see what deal we can have on the cases and will also need to find out if his bank will make further charges on top of the ones from my bank (my bank has told be it shouldn't if I send in $UD. The women behind the desk did in the end work out that the amount needed to be same amount of USD no matter what the exact exchange rate was (and this doesn't get processed on the day I fill the form in). Also it should be noted that the exchange rate the bank gives isn't the same as you'll find on XE, at least not when you sending less then £30,000. It's not a huge amount difference but it is there
Just to confirm my order, and to say that I accept all the terms and conditions you mentioned. Like a few others, I'd also be interested, though, in finding out how much extra insured shipping would add.
Thanks again,
Sunnie
it's $21 more for insured and tracked and $20 more for tracked. You will most likely get hit for full import charges though

Andy,
as per my PM can you change me on the list to a H300-D:) .
Thanks
Aidan
right
the ones in bold are being orderd, The numbers have been sent to WH but are being re fixed on thursday so get in quickly.
prividing there is no charge on Dans end for recieving the bank trasnfer (which my bank said was unlikely this is an estimated price list. This includes postage to the UK, the bank charges at my end and has a small amount extra in the event that the exchange rate goes against us (even a small change with this many would end up costing me a fair amount extra. The prices do not include any paypal fees if you want to pay using that
H230-C 3 £85
H230-D 6 £139
H300-C 6 £91
H300-D 6 £151
H300-CB 2 £102
I'm still waiting for a definate price on the sheaths
I'm hoping that CirclePknives can pay directly and I assume will have a slightly reduced postage cost
Cones (and if the other person wanting two confirms) you can knock off £7.20 if he's to send both knives in one package

H230D with black clip case - Apologies for the delay I was travelling.
Stephen
added to the list. I didn't think you'd want to drop out after thinking about getting two!
plumbob your the last person now
You seem to be missing the price for the H300-CB Andy.
Andy, will you be posting up a PP address or PM'ing the details?
Danzo
sorry to be a pain, but i can remember or find out from paypal site what fees they charge.. anyone any idea?
Andy thanks for putting this together your a flippin star! what time scale are we looking at once the order goes in?
You seem to be missing the price for the H300-CB Andy.
dam, their aren't any 230-CBs involved. I'll edit it to say 300-CB
To make things clear on payment
paypal fees are amount+20P then times by 1.034
I will PM my home address for cheques and my paypal address when I'm ready to take payments
Once I've got the payments it will be 2-3weeks till they get to your door (hopefully) This allows time for the bank trasfer to get sorted, for the knives to be made/sent to Plaza and hopefully for postage. It could be a bit longer but I'll let you know when they've all been posted
just had an email from Plaza
very minor bank fees his side which we don't need to cover so the staed prices are now confirmed. WH should be getting back to him today with sheath details (I think he's trying to get a better price for them)
We have a finial price list, the small sheaths (B09) fit the H230 models and the medium sheaths (B10) fit the H300 models. The same 15% discount applies to sheaths as well as the knives
H230-C £85
H230-D £139
H300-C £91
H300-D £151
H300-CB £102
small clip case £9.50
medium clip case £11.80
small stingray pouch £9.50
medium stingray pouch £11.90
I'll PM both my postal address and paypal address to everyone
If paying via paypal please add 3.4% +20p
In addition to this we're all getting a william henry DVD showing how the knives are made:D
Andy when do you want paying??
ASAP
the knives are I think ready so once I've got all the payments I can wire the money to Dan. That will take about 5working days and then he can ship them
Just one thing
I'm gettng lot of PMs saying that people have sent payment. I'm not getting round to responding to the all and might miss the odd person when confirming that I've got payment. Your name will turn Red on the list in the first post when I've got payment though so just check that if you don't get a PM from me

I'd be greatful if everyone in this group buy could make sure they have PM space incase I need to contact them;)
If people want to do bank transfer that's ok too
just PM me for the details

Cheque sent today Andy.
Thanks very much.
just had an email from Dan
william henry are reserving all the confirmed orders for US. As I'm poping away for a few days I wont be able to start cashing any cheques till I get back. The bank trasfer will also take time but I'm hoping I can get that underway before the cheques have cleared. I'm moving the money out of my paypal account as fast as possible so that that should be in my account as least.
basically I'm doing as much as I can to try and speed this up for everyone involved (including William henry who are reserving a large number of knives without any payment yet)
BAD NEWS
though the exchange rate hasn't changed on XE my bank is now giving ten cents less per pound. I'm looking for other means of getting the money to dan as this is more then I allowed for
madhaha
14-07-06, 01:26 AM
Alternatively we could stay put a few days to see if the currency rate starts to swing back in our favour...
the trouble is the transfer goes at the rate the day after I fill the form is as the details are posted to the main branch. The manager said there was no way to get round this but a desk staff bloke told me of banks that might give me better rates in town. I'll check around, I'm sure I'll sort something
even with the low rate it's still slightly better then a credit card would give and we're having a greater discount as Dan wont have fees at the other end then if we all paid by credit card.
What about a Nation Wide Credit Card?
As there are no exchange fees on them.
I used mine in the USA to great effect! :D
If required I am sure we could all chip in for the extra required.
What sort of difference are you looking at? £50,£100,£200?
Thanks
Mark
Paypal sent - thanks again for running this ;)

a credit card takes 2.5% from the trasaction like paypal does so the dealer in the US doesn't get as much (part of the reson we got 15% off was that he didn't have those fees)
A typical credit card will give you less USD per pound as it's normaly for a small amount
I esitmated 1.8USD per pound but it was at 1.74 last time I checked.
at the time XE was giving 1.84 something and now that's gone down to 1.83something
All very complicated, but the cheque is in the post to you Andy!
Like Mark said, if need be I'm sure we could have a whip-round...last thing we'd want is for you to be out of pocket after doing all the organising.

I'm with Guycep on this one. If it ends up costing more then there are enough of us in on ths deal to cover it. There is no reason whatsoever for you to be out of pocket on this on Andy.
don't worry, if it comes to it that it cost me more I'll request a little more from folks, it's only a small amount per knife but there's 24 knives involved
madhaha
15-07-06, 01:53 AM
From my dodgy maths it works out at £10-20 more each which means up to £480 more for Andy (OUCH!). Payday for me is in just over a week so if someone is willing to cover me till then or buy my Spderco progrip, be my guest :) Alternatively, I'll go down a blade size if that's possible. Things are likely to change currency wise in the very near future because of current international issues.
I'm going to have to email Dan at Plaza to let him know things might be changing
sorry guys I don't know what to do about this
at the moment it' not as bad as 480pounds difference though. rough guess you can times the price I gave by 1.8 and divide by 1.73. I'm hoping that natwest dropped their rates a little bofore elsewher as it still seems fairly stable. I can't transfer this amount of money with other methods that I've found so far and they charge double per transfer anyway (limit of 500pounds)

If it costs £480 you could fly there and give them cash. It would be cheaper!:D

Well, if that's the case my H300-C will go from £91 to £94.70.
Not much of a crisis there really!
;)
Danzo
No it's not a huge problem yet
I think I just need to get them paid for before the exchange rate gets any worse. I'll pay ASAP and not wait for cheques or paypal to clear
it's worth remembering that the basic H300-C model would be over 130pounds if you weren't using this group buy so 94pounds is still a very good deal

Payday Friday... How is it going Andy. I can't wait :o
no further news yet, I'm currently at my sisters geting help with a piece of computing coursework (php). I'm getting home late tonight and am going to pay tomorrow. I'll check if the covertry building sociaty can do the transfer as well and see if their exchange rate is any better. If it ends up costing my a little more per knife then I'll let you all know.
List of people who have paid has been updated
someone has noted in the paypal notes that they want insured postage from teh US, this costs more money and needs to be paid for
Thought you guys might like to know we're doing $5406 worth of trade plus the knife for circlePknives (who's sorting it on his own)
I'm expecting to be a bit short of cash for this one but it shouldn't be much per person
andy, my name is black on the list but the money legt my account a few days ago so i guess/hope it is on its way to you now (probably currently collecting interest for one of our banking companys..), i hope i am not holding things up!
let me know any difference to be paid!
I haven't managed to check for the bank transfers so haven't put them on this list

Hi Andy - PM sent with confirmed address.
Aidan
the payment is going through today, the exchange rate hasn't dropped at the bank since the last time I checked. I may need a touch more money then I have but we're still saving a money.
This has been a complete nightmare though and we could have saved just as much by going to Heinnie Haynes so all this has been rather dreadfull experience an I don't want to run another international group buy
madhaha
19-07-06, 10:07 PM
It Will be worth it. Its sad so many good knives are from abroad :(

I can understand you not wanting to do this again Andy...it seems to have been a major nightmare for you...and sadly its not over yet..
keeping my fingers and toes crossed that everything goes ok from this point on;)
Don't get me wrong, the dealer in the US has been informative, You guys have all paid quickly and I haven't had to spend ages working out who sent which paypal payments (which I normaly do). It's just that I think we all thought that the prices in the UK would be far higher then they are and though we're saving money from the RRP in the UK we could have delt with a UK shop and had far less hassel with sending them money. I've done a international purchase for a group buy before but the amount of money involved was much less and I used paypal which makes it easier for me to know what the currency conversion is
just to let you know the money has been sent. It goes on the exchange rate the bank give tomorrow (a bit unfair I think) but it's been the same for a few days. I will need a touch more money but it's not a huge amount per person
could the people who paid by bank transfer PM me thir addresses please
and clear some PM space!
I've been told WH are sending the knives to plaza today or tomorrow (I think it's their morning now). He's collected the envolopes so hopefully these will get sent out within a week from now
GOOD NEWS
my bank is very silly and charged me less then they quoted me this morning (the rate went from 1.74 yesterday to 1.75 this morning but have put it through at 1.77 (XE has gone from 1.8194 to 1.8523)
the origonal prices cover everything
You must be exhausted from all this! Still, glad it 's good news at last:)

Should be worth it in a couple of weeks when 24 people get nice knives at about 20% off the UK prices, the forum gets a Strider and I get to see how sharp I can get ZDP-189

I wonder how much this group buy has influenced the UK price?
I don't think that WH prices in the UK are usually so close to the US prices so for this as well, Andy, we salute you!

I thought exactly the same when I saw the Heinnie pricing on this model; it certainly stands apart from their pricing on their other WH models.
Sunnie
Not only influencing the price, but the legecy didnt even appear on heinnie untill the 14th of july a week or two after several of us signed up for a group buy.. i wonder how they guage demand :lol:
Names and addresses have now been sent to Dan
this might be a good time to see how fast stuff gets to different parts of the UK from the US

Is it me, or has the Legacy disappeared from HH...?
its still in their recently added items section http://www.heinnie.com/cgi-bin/heinnie_store/web_store.cgi?page=FRATOTAB/newadditions.htm&cart_id=
Just had an email form Dan saying the payment is now pending so should go through tomorrow. I don't know if the knives have arrived at Plaza yet but do know that WH were meant to be sending them earlier this week. With a bit of luck these can be posted out by thursday (I don't know what time the bank put's it into Dans account)
these could be here this time next week
PS this group buy is saving about $1000 off the RRP of the products being bought in the US
it seems WH missed the email asking them to ship these to Dan, He's going to ohone them when it gets to morning over there (it's been fun working out the best times to email each other with this buy). I think we're now looking at the end of the week before they get to Dan
right, Dan and I have sorted out a couple of mistakes in address (or sorted out addresses which were a bit odd) He is labeling the envolopes before the knives arrive so that they can be processed a lot quicker (hopefully the same day)
This means they should be shipped by late friday (his time).
with a bit of luck we will have them in time for people to show them off at the upcoming meet up. I'm free that day but might not be able to arrange transport, if I'm there I and have my knife by then I will also bring the Strider GB which has been kindly donated by strider and plaza cutlery to aid in funding this forum
Incase you haven't seen the thread in the commons all of these have now been posted, They are even arriving in the UK already

10-08-06, 10:31 AM
With my usual speed of thought and action, I missed out on this.
So I contacted Dan at Plazza, who told me that he would honour the discounted price given to Andy and the group buy for anyone from BB who still wanted a Wm Henry. I have gone for a H300-CB (a large black bladed one), at a shipped price of $179 (£95).
So, if like me you missed out first time around.....
That's very nice of him
Just to let you know one person decided it wasn't for him (he EDC's a strider AR for work) and it's up for sale BNIB and already in the UK
