Thanks MGT88 and Eyechess! Took me a while to finally get my Minceta set but it was worth the wait...

Shooting a review of the latest HoS Fischer Spassky this weekend then the Minceta is next. Having a ton of fun putting these videos together!

Great video....I had the "rare pleasure"(since these sets are not cheap) of unboxing an NOJ Tal set a few months ago......The mouth watered all the way through the unpacking process.

Btw,I loved the cool box that NOJ provides........Good luck.

Great video. That was exactly how my Noj Minceta unboxing went, especially when I found the surprise gift (pen) with my name inscribed in beautiful italics.

Did you ask for a custom brown stain? It looks more chestnut in colour than their standard one.

 

No, this was just the standard stain. I asked Gregor about this when I ordered and he told me that they do the stain dark unless specifically requested. I did light these shots in a way to show of the grain though so that might be making them look a little lighter?

Either way the tone looks just right in person... Super happy with this set!

Subscribed.

BTW, when are you going to review the new HOS Dubrovnik set? We're all anxiously waiting.

Avatar of grownupboy

Thanks for the sub, zagryn. Really appreciate it!!

I'm shooting a review for the latest House of Staunton Fischer Spassky set this weekend and that should be edited and ready to go by the end of next week. Insider tip: I'm planning a give-away for the Fischer Spassky set so stay tuned to my YouTube channel for more on that!

Dubrovnik Minceta review is next up after that.  Should be live in a couple weeks but things have a way of taking longer than expected these days. I'm on it though!

@coffeehouse_chess_1, please cut it out with the put downs on price, would you? Yes, YOU might think so, but the original poster is happy and proud and obviously it wasn’t overpriced to him. How would you like it if it happened to you? Yeah, thought so.

 

I think people often confuse "expensive" with "overpriced." The set was certainly expensive but seeing it in person I can say that it definitely lives up to my expectations. It's a luxury item and not everyone can appreciate spending any amount of money on something like this. But that doesn't mean that the price is inflated beyond reason.

There are a lot of cheaper sets on the market. But none of them are this particular set! happy.png

I have an Endura too but find it's a little too big for an EDC. But both are amazing knives for sure!
