Well just had a look at gordians knot and will order one later. Have seen these or similar and they look fun.
It's a high price tag for the popplocks but my first is so well made I think it's a must to try and get the others. I really wanted a T2 but no longer available
But wish they were

Any recommendation on which gordians knot? Or which vendors. Looks like $10 on amazon in the USA.

Got a popplock T3 on the way. Will see how it goes but is tempting to get the others. It's the lack of any new revomazes to work on. Need to keep the mind and fingers busy.

Really liked the dan lock. Will share it with anyone who wants to try it on loan for another puzzle I don't have. Send me a pm.

Remind me how bad I am at returning people's puzzles.... :roll:

I think I know what I'm doing next week. Darnit, I was even supposed to personally return one this week, argh!

My Gordian's Knot came from a little shop in Leamington, it was only £8.99.
It came in packaging like this one: Gordian's Knot

It was really quite stiff to move the pieces initially, but after some use the segments free up a lot :)

I would go and get a popplock but having just bought a whole load of Hanayama puzzles my puzzle budget for the next few months won't allow it :(

I hopefully have a Danlock on the way soon, which I'm really looking forward to trying out as I've heard such great things. But it's going to be months before I can afford any of Rainer Popp's locks. So if there's anyone in the UK who wouldn't mind lending me some I'd be eternally grateful. :D

Well I just had the set of 51 of them turn up yesterday from puzzlemaster :shock:
There came in 4 promotional boxes (like you get on shop counters) each holding 12 puzzles and then 3 separate... got a fair bit of puzzling ahead of me :D

For some reason puzzle master don't seem to have ABC so I'll have to get that one seperately :|
