Re: Stripped Manix 2 pivot screws
It probably doesn't matter. But the more you work on things that don't matter, the more experience you'll have when it really does matter. See if you have a delicate enough touch to stone away the high spot without scuffing up the rest of the side. It's the Shaolin Priest equivalent to walking on ri...

Re: Reveal 15 - Live!
The Stretch 2 XL is about the perfect size knife.
K390 is about the perfect steel.
Bidirectional FRN is the perfect handle.
Its shape is beautiful.
The color is nice.
I've preordered it.
I'll pour a cup of coffee and go sit by the mailbox.

Re: Finally got a G-10 Manix
Are you talking about the pivot or the lock?
On almost every Manix I have, I've chopped the spring to reduce preload. One could argue that it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but it makes me happy so I do it.

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
It could be one of two knives that are most likely to find their way into my pocket nowadays. The first is an Endura K390 LW SE. I carry it most days. I can count on it to hack through anything that is hackable. The other knife is the Stretch 2 XL CruWear. The plain edge is more sensible for many t...

Re: Most Noble Order of the Sock Drawer
I have been hacked by my old archnemesis at the Under Drawer Club. When I first heard of this "Sock Drawer" group, I thought it was a bunch of foot fetishists. But now you're telling me that among you are a sub-culture of underwear thieves? Sick! How does one join up? And suppose someone ...

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)
serrations are fragile and the Manix 2 is more of a tough knife. That has not been my experience. I've found that serrations cut some tough materials better than a plain edge. When the job is complete, the serrated edge is still suitable for continued use, while the plain edge can be disappointingl...

The latest news out of the European Union is that Victorinox is completely abandoning their failed pocket knife endeavor, and has secured a contract to equip the Swiss military with modern main battle tanks.

I'm not a football watcher, so the event didn't really hold that much appeal for me. Are you talking about Nikki Glaser? That girl cracks me up. She had her own show for a while. I might have watch the Tom Brady thing just to see her.

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?
Why so many discontinued? Poor sales. Why the current offerings? Because Sal and company are still trying. The market has shown that we say we want exotic materals but what we actually want is lower prices. That's an interesting assessment. I have no data to support nor refute your contention, but ...
