I'd say the Terzuola is the best slip joint if you really want to give a SlipIt some ****.

Maybe you could post a pic of the spheres or nanites or whatever it is that they claim makes it better...

Don't have access to the metallurgical microscopes (old job) but I can look around the office. At 90nm it better be a good microscope!

I have some cornel (dogwood?) I want to use for a Mule handle. it is so strong it does discolor when being cut, no matter which kind of saw I use. I does crack while drying though so I have to find a piece without defects. An alternative I have close at hand is checkers (chequer?) tree, wood my gra...

You could put a left and right hand Military together, grid the lock face accordingly and have a double liner lock. Neither lock would ever travel over 50%! :D

I'd stick with fixed blades personally.

I think the South Fork could replace a decent fixed blade as it's a decent fixed blade itself:

First you buy things to make things sharp, then you buy sharp things. A Norton double-sided bench stone is a great and cheap investment. I'm sure others would agree there are plenty of options under $60 to keep your edges maintained. As the cost goes down, only a little more effort is required to le...

I'd been taking my stone out and resting it on top of the case but it did get slippery. Now to find an old mousepad. Thanks!

Subscribed as I've always been skeptical of the Nano-oil claims. Got myself a tube and while the needle applicator is nice I haven't found it significantly different from other lubes.

Two ultra hard-use knives:

I've heard the meat is delicious. I'd like to try one but I don't usually go wandering around looking for those bad boys.

Hey it's true. Number one reason I stopped requesting skunk bolsters and garlic liners.

Good did come of this thread, Crow. I learned that Gail is allegedly a lefty!

I would like to see 90 pics of LH specific knives too. Never wrote the the remaining knives were such, only that they were ambidextrous. Sorry if that caused confusion. No confusion, no worries. I worded my request to see how many LH specific knives you had out of the 90 in your collection. Out of ...

I've flown a few times in the past few years and have had no trouble with checked knives. Typically, I zip tie the knife through the spyder hole to keep them from opening and to let me know if someone has been tampering with them. I cut off the zip tie pretty close to where it is tightened down so ...

I still try to unlock my LH Military and Sebenzas like a RH liner/framelock. Always a surprise when I have to use my left thumb, but a welcome one.

OP, I'd like to see pics of your LH specific models out of ~90.

Fun to watch F1, or fun to watch someone trying to daily drive one? :)

Because it's the only Spyderco so well-respected, a left-hand model was conceived.

I've had a Salt I for a while now, never had issues with stains on any of my other steels. Recently got the Dfly and Tasman Salts in SE, and SE edges are an application where the H1 excels.

I think the SB 3.5 is a more efficient use of my pocket space, it almost seems like they squeezed a half-inch more blade into the same sized handle. I prefer to carry that over the 3 in most cases, although the smaller 3 looks a little more people-friendly. However, with the 3.5's lesser availabilit...
