Is BHQ releasing an M4 Manix soon? If so, that's what I'd be after. The purple CruWear would be my second choice. There's also the REX45, but it has a considerable markup on eBay.

That sure is purdy. If I wasn't already Manixed out, I'd bag one for sure.

They're comfortable like running shoes but with enough support to carry a 50lb pack while walking over rocks. The first 2 pair eventually had the soles de-laminate after about 4 or 5 years of use. That's quite a while. I've found that regardless of the boot, after enough miles, the support degrades...

When I first read the title of your post, I thought you were sharing catalogs from the modern company that got into hot water for featuring underaged kids cavorting in their underwear. I had no idea that they originally sold outdoor gear. People back then had to be really tough. We're spoiled with o...

Has anyone else noticed that there are between 50-100 forum members having 41st birthday today? It's a fact not well known except to those in attendance, but exactly nine months earlier was the 1979 Knife Collectors' Blade Exchange and Drunken Orgy. It appears the acorns don't fall far from the tree.

Endura for me. Dreamed of an ffg SE Endura-ish knife for quite some time, and now there are TWO (Pac Salt 2 LC200N and this K390) - thank you Sal and Spyderco!!! :) I reached the same conclusion. I'm content with a plain edge for precision work, but have been curious about a serrated edge for serio...

Soap is caustic and will react with some metals.

C'mon man! You can't tell me I'm the only one who has been caught in the shower during a severe earthquake, in which the building collapsed and I had to dig myself out?!

Right on, brother! And in case you can't dig yourself out, at least you can look attractively manscaped for the rescuers.

K390 Spyderedge. The only question now is, "what size?"

Knipex. Anything else just disappoints. Whaaaaat?! I had never even heard of Knipex until two months ago. A buddy whipped out what looked like newfangled ChannelLock. He had them because they were spec'ed for use on a particular project. I was BLOWN AWAY at how nice these pliers were. Regular Chann...

I love tantos. I also love left handed compression locks. No matter, there are a couple cool new knives for 2021... and I can't buy them all.

Any tips on how to sharpen and hone? I've ruined two of my knives already attempting to sharpen and hone them. I tried sharpening with DMT diamond stones and ended up ruining my knife. Then I tried honong another knife rather than sharpening it with a steel honing rod and I ruined that one as well....

Please... for the love of god... please nobody feed this troll. Thank you in advance. But... but... it's not about HIM. It's about all the OTHER poor people who can't afford the nice things that more affluent people have. Maybe we should start him a "Go Fund Me" so he can finally get the knife of h...

Very nice. My pockets might become home to one or two of these in the upcoming year. And the ceramic file set might come in handy.

What is the relative strength and toughness of Spyderco's FRCP versus FRN and G10? I know Sal has said (if I remember correctly) that FRCP is very strong compared to FRN. How does FRCP hold up to hard use? I don't think the answers are knowable without Sal's secret recipe or destructive testing. Th...

Ok, I’ve wanted a manix2 for awhile now and mr fiancé bought me one for Xmas. Enjoy the knife that your fiancé thoughtfully gave to you. A knife is just a knife, but if someone special gave it to you, it's 1000x better. Don't get too caught up in what the Interweb Experts have to say. The LW is a g...

Does anybody cut their own hair using an electric clipper? I’m not quite confident enough to try it, but I’m also not ready to have someone else cut it yet during this time. C'mon, buddy! This is a SPYDERCO group. All the REAL SpydieFanz cut our own hair... with the serrated edges on our Pacific Sa...

I think the fact that it is an injection molded component should enable some ergonomic upgrades. I think it could benefit a lot from having rounded corners similar to the other knives with injection-molded handles, I also wish it shipped with a deep carry clip, as I find deep carry to make it take ...

It’s an inexpensive and useful tool. Hey, Camber. My name is Rob and I'm a Toolaholic... a card carrying gadget junkie. I've considered a goniometer, but I'm not sure that it wouldn't be one of those toys that sits on the shelf gathering dust. I need a rational excuse to buy one. Most of my knives ...

So what wine DOES go with kangaroo on the barbie?

Just ordered the book for my sister-in-law. Might add it to some items I'm ordering for myself, later today.
