We've got many different politics and beliefs here, but its a very friendly forum and we leave that stuff at the door (usually). And Welcome! :) I take yo...

I'd just rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Could not agree more. "Be prepared" is a motto I still hold dear. My comments about "tactical" and "survivalist" were meant merely to distinguish me from people who live their lives fearing the worst...

New to Spyderco, I have acquired in quick succession a Tenacious, a Dragonfly 1, a Sage 3 and a Para-Military 2. I EDC the Sage 3. In addition to its sky-blue scales and its fit and finish, I admire the Sage 3's resemblance to points in the Clovis tradition of Paleoamerica. I do have my eye on the i...

There are a number of dealers that have a formal pre-order system. KnifeCenter, Cutlery Shoppe, KnifeWorks, and Howes Knife Shop come to mind, but I'm sure there are others as well. I have a hunch that most dealers who do not advertise pre-orders would probably be willing to reserve a knife for a r...

I've had my Sage 3 for a few weeks and, just because I like the feel of a knife in my hand (need I explain in this forum?!), have gone through binges of opening and closing it. I'd say the bolt is now marginally stiffer, even after a drop of oil, just at the start of its release. Where I think the t...

Newbie's introduction and word to the wise

While lurking on various EDC sites over the past year, I have continued to read really good things about Spyderco (I've carried SAKs all my life). I also liked what I saw of Sal in a recent Nutnfancy interview. So, last month, I bought a Tenacious just to understand the excitement. Now I have a Drag...
