Re: Victorinox going bladeless
The latest news out of the European Union is that Victorinox is completely abandoning their failed pocket knife endeavor, and has secured a contract to equip the Swiss military with modern main battle tanks.

Re: The GOAT Roast!!
I'm not a football watcher, so the event didn't really hold that much appeal for me. Are you talking about Nikki Glaser? That girl cracks me up. She had her own show for a while. I might have watch the Tom Brady thing just to see her.

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?
Why so many discontinued? Poor sales. Why the current offerings? Because Sal and company are still trying. The market has shown that we say we want exotic materals but what we actually want is lower prices. That's an interesting assessment. I have no data to support nor refute your contention, but ...

Excellent! Now the knife has a story to tell. And she looks grrrrreat.

Re: Anyone have a card with "fraud prevention services" get in the way of buying stuff?
it's just difficult to know which ones do ahead of time, and I'm sure you all know what it's like buying sprints You should do some "test purchases" from all the stores you think will be selling sprints. It might cost a little more, but you'll have extra knives and peace of mind. 💰🔪🥰 A wh...

Re: Pretty pictures of sharp things
After watching Shogun recently, I'd really like a full suit of armor... not for collecting... for wearing around town. It's a bit over my budget, though.

Re: Victorinox going bladeless
The title is misleading. Victorinox is not going bladeless. Victorinox will begin selling bladeless "knives" in markets where bladed tools are not allowed. It seems like a sound marketing decision. Spyderco makes knives to meet the requirements of different regions--it makes sense.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
Try it with your SE K390 next time @RustyIron. I would be interested to see how that one handles it. Your wish is my command, JSumm . I made another belt today and used the serrated K390. It was better. The serrations cut through the tough outer fabric much more nicely. I used a sawing motion. The ...

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
This dummy was stretched out across the road on Thursday. To me, it didn't seem like a safe place to sun oneself, so I encouraged him to move along.

Ditto! Loads of them and it continues. I can't guarantee this will solve your problem, but it's the first step. 1. Go to your User Control Panel -- Overview -- Manage Subscriptions. 2.

How does this work? I tried and my image was still too large. You are correct. I spoke too soon. Images captured at normal size/resolution on my iPhone need to be resized before the forum will accept them. When I'm sitting at my desk working on my computer, resizing is merely an inconvenience.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
The Endura PE K390 was used to make a new drive belt for a lathe today. The material is a rubberized canvas. It's 2" wide and about 3/16" thick. I made a total of three cuts with some scrap particle board backing it up. The knife started off very sharp and ended up rather dull. It was an ...

Re: Show your Flowers and plants photo
That is funny , I did same thing taking a shot of an Endela and didn’t see an ant ! I blamed it on the light ! Isn't the 21st Century awesome? Only a few short years ago, the only people who could take pictures of ants were professional photographers who spent many months' pay on equipment. Now, an...

All good Rusty , wherever you feel most comfortable. To bug or not to bug that is the question ! Thanks. Today I "identify" as a "Flower and Plant" photographer. This isn't unlike many of my other shots. Rarely am I wearing glasses when I'm shooting, so I don't know exactly what...

Does this belong in "Flowers and Plants," or "Bugs and Critters?"

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
now you can get one! If you indeed choose so, I bet you´ll love it! Hahahaha! You are SO predictable! While your logic may be sound, I have an irrational predilection for larger blades. Right now, there's no need for me to buy anything from the existing line-up. I have what I need (and then some). ...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Just out of interest: How do YOU feel about the Chaparral FRN as an alternative especially to the G10 Lil Native? I don't own a Chaparral, but I would prefer the bidirectional FRN over the G10. I REALLY like Spyderco's bidirectional surface. The feature that would keep me away from the Chaparral is...
