My submission is showcasing the Sage series. From left to right:

Sage 1 - Michael Walker's liner lock
Sage 2 - Chris Reeve's integral lock/ frame lock
Sage 3 - Blackie Collin's bolt action lock
Sage 4 - Al Mar's back lock
Sage 5 - Sal Glesser’s compression lock
Sage 6 - Kevin Smock's button release ...

This image shows my love for the Dragonfly model. I think it's Sal's greatest design. The perfect EDC. Sure, there are bigger tasks that are easier for a bigger knife, but day to day tasks, nothing is better than knowing this little big knife is always ready in the ...

I’ve seen this same complaint on Reddit and the Facebook Millie group.

I wonder if it’s the same guy or this happened to more people.

The effort put into these online seconds sales doesn’t seem worth it. They just seem to get bad press.

Maybe he can check out the Dragonfly as a substitute. It has very similar ergonomics with a slightly larger blade.

None of the fun “try to unlock my knife” shenanigans though.

I was going through my Spyderco collection and surprisingly found I have more backlocks than anything else. While the compression lock is my favorite, I do love a Spydie backlock, smooth but sturdy and dependable. I decided to compare backlocks from 5 different factories (Countries?) and snap a pic ...

…but this is going to be named the “Yominbo” right?

Did anyone get a seconds sale sticker this year or were they not made this time around?

You’re the target market bud!
Don’t worry, you’ve got it all figured out.



Uh, who signed off on these designs?
They look 20 years old already.

Guess that’s the brand aesthetic they’re going for.


Yeah, they really need to put a hologram sticker on there so the cool kids will buy them ...

Well, at least I can save some cash being unenthused with the brand for a few months. Thought I did something unique.

Congrats to the winners.

Another + 1 on the LC200N Dragonfly.

Maybe something discontinued and fun like the Navaja or Capitan.

The new Police model Sal had mentioned.

Gunny Glide is a new pivot lube that uses graphene and has some really impressive results. REC (rivers edge cutlery) and Omaha knives have had it in stock recently.

I’ve used nano oil, kpl and militec in the past and this gunny glide blew them out of the water.

For adhesive removal I use goo gone ...

Model: Dragonfly 1 & 2

This is my collection of 31 different Dragonflies. I fell in love with the model years ago. I really feel like it is enough knife for most of my daily use and the trivial weight is a huge plus. Aesthetically I love the sharp angles and swedge on these little guys. So one day ...

I live local to the SFO and when I bring knives in to get sharpened an employee touches them up on the sharpmaker on the showroom floor.
I always get great results but I’m curious if people who ship knives in from out of state get theirs sharpened on a belt grinder?

I’m thinking of purchasing a ...

I cracked open my two Sages to see how much work would be involved to swap blades.

The Sage 1 blade has just a bit more material where the lock engages.

The top/spine of the blades match perfectly but you can see the difference ...

I'd buy a few sets of FRN MT scales in a heartbeat. Especially if there were colors besides black offered.

I saw this pair of Police models on ebay and they seem fake. The tiny boye dent, the clips not ending flat and the wrong font on the P in police, as well as shipping with a pouch.
Can't stand people taking advantage of others.

I'll second a bunch of answers here.

XL Dragonfly
LC200N Dragonfly and Para 3 LW
K390 Stretch

Fingers crossed.

Yeah I did remove the blade and used flitz on it. It seems like it did nothing. I'll try the scrubbing pad next, then buy the barkeepers friend if that doesn't work. Thanks.

I picked up a little beast of a Dragonfly in K390 and proceeded to mess it up after cutting some limes. This is my first non-laminated tool steel, I didn't realize it would patina so hard.

Aesthetically I'm not too happy about it, but I can live with it no problem. I'm more concerned that the ...
