Hi there!

Last week I got the Shane Sibert Particle Accelerator Premier Grade with serrations. I never saw such a perfect knife as far as handling and quality is concernde. You can`t believe, that a knife of this size and weight is that comfortable in your hands. Ok - I got very big hands but its really amazing. It`s edge and the saw on the back are razorsharp. The sheath fits perfect. I got the knife from Manfred Melzer in Hamburg/Germany who is the owner of "ars cultri", a very exclusive custom knifeshop. It`s nearly impossible to get one from Shane Sibert, because he`s too busy. But I wrote an E-Mail to Mr. Sibert and he wrote back quickly and his answer was very kind. Here are some Photos of the Mother of all knives - in my opinion:D
Mr. Melzer allowed to use his photos. He`s also lots of other custom knives from craftsmen all around the world. If you are interested here`s the linkhttp://www.arscultri.de

He told me that he is always very happy about new contact.

That`s all. Take care out there,

Yours cutter.

Thanks a lot Noss. I still can`t believe it. When I put it in my cupboard at the office it didn`t fit in there because it was too big:eek:

Now I put it in a diagonal way, so it can be next to my Fehrman, Busse, Gerber, Böker, Spyderco, Puma, Fällkniven, Kiku, Cold Steel, Victorinox Swiss Tool...

If someone would open this cupboard at my office he would probably think I`m mad:headbang:

But nearly nothing rocks like knives:rockon:

Thank you. Unfortunately I`ve got to go to work now. The nightshift is waiting. Not really easy going as a police officer in the center of Munich because at the moment all these carneval freaks are making trouble:)

Suum cuique. Each of them will get what he/she deserves. The good and the bad.

Take care. I`m looking forward to your replies I`ll read tomorrow. Till then.

The collection sounds nice. It's like the part of my collection where the knives will never actually cut anything. They will either sit and appreciate in the safe or be sold and traded at some point.

Post it if you got it. :thumb: Even though CRK's are not the shining lights of the tests here. I don't want anyone to be afraid to post about them.

I Think I`ll have to make a kind of poster of all my knives. So I`ll try and let you see the pics:)

See you - lots of fun :rockon:

No. I use any of my knives in the woods, at work, when I´m in my mountain-cottage...

It´s very important for me not to loose the sense for what a knife was made - and thats doing it`s heavy duty.
