All the education you'll want.

Thank you, I will check them out.

I have a i1R2 on my key chain and one on our kitchen counter. i3E EOS is in my pocket and a couple more at home. Also have S2R Baton II, (2) S1R Baton, S1R Baton II in my car. They're great little lights If you do a search in this section there a few flashlight threads with a lot of good informatio...

My friend showed me his little Olight i1r 2 and I was blown away. I couldn't believe something so small could be so bright, run for so long, and was rechargeable! Not only that it was cheap to buy. I had to have one. Well I ended up buying a Olight S2r Baton 2 instead as Amazon was having a flash sa...

Sal, I think you should send Larrin some spy27 for testing asap. The problem with Larrins article is that even though it's a highly educated and logical guess, it's still a guess. But people will still take as fact without any real actual data and testing.

I watched a video by Cedric and Ada where he put a few knife steels in water including ZDP-189, and I was kinda shocked that it actually appeared to do worse then M4. I've got two questions about it that hopefully don't sound too silly. 1) I've read about Galvanic corrosion where you can have a stai...

When you look at the original Hitachi spec sheet it doesn't state stainless. it just mentions that it has good corrosion resistance. https://www.discipleofdesign.com/knives/ZDP189_eng.pdf So is the "Stainless" simply assumed from the high CR content? Looking back at this thread https://www.bladeforu...

For me locks are #1 for many reasons such as: 1) It takes extremely precise machining, QC, and geometry to make a good lock. So they are a sign of quality and craftsmanship. 2) The different designs and engineering that goes into locks makes knives 1000x more interesting. At least for me they do, bu...

Well the good news is Sal said 99% of the prices are staying the same. I missed Sal saying this. Can you cite the post? A Maxamet PM2 is my last 2019er, and my last for a while, less because of some price-hike, more because I went Spydie-mad in 2019. Sure https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/2020-pr...

The only liner locks that have opened on me in the pocket were all flippers! The back pocket + tip up + flipper = Bad idea.

For myself there is a few boxing week sales on that are tempting me. One of them is the Civilian, which is about 2/3 the regular price here. For some reason I kind of always wanted one. The other is the Amalgam.

After reading this I'm kinda surprised that ZDP-189 was sold as stainless. My ZDP Dragonfly was one of the first Spyderco's I bought. And when researching them. I saw a lot of threads saying how you had to really take care of it to stop it corroding. In fact when I bought mine it had a thin coating ...

I have two Italian made knives in Elmax, and I think it's a fantastic steel! But I also think what kills it is the dramatic price increase. Not only is M390 slightly better, but you can also find it on much more budget friendly knives. Looking at BHQ M390 starts at only $99!! Basically M390 has also...

I'm not sure a Military LW makes sense apart from just changing the texture of the scales. The Military already has pretty minimal liners and I can't imagine G10 weighs so much more than FRN that changing the scale material will reduce weight enough to matter. Maybe if they completely eliminate the...

It's time to crack out those crystal balls and give your best prediction of what Spyderco is gonna be up to in 2020! :cool: Here's a few of mine: Spyderco came out with a lot of LW models last year such as the PM3, Sage, and Police. This year it's gonna be followed up with the " Military LW " excep...

You can call it BS all you want. But I've applied that philosophy throughout my career working with the public. When I worked in insurance I was able to grow my book of business from $60,000/yr to $4 million/yr within only 2 years. And working in Insurance trust me I have dealt with all sorts of an...

Your sense of entitlement is why businesses are failing all across America. Do you enjoy being ignored, looked down on, or being treated with hostility when you buy something? No you don't! The real fact is a happy customer will tell 4-6 people about a positive experience, but an unhappy customer w...

"The customer is always right" Many stores hate this saying and prefer to say that it's not true. But the problem is the meaning of that saying is lost on the modern generation. What it really means is " Treat the customer like they are your Boss" or in other words put them first. If your boss asks...
