I may have missed it when using the search function, but keep seeing mention of “Hong” sewn Kifaru items.
Just curious who knows the background and why the infamous Hong stuff is more sought after(maybe it’s not?) or considered “better”?
Claymore - Like New, HONG made, $65
Sherman - Like New, $OLD
Belt Pouch - Like New, Large, HONG made, Xpac, $OLD
If you need more buckles, let me know.
