You mean someone attacked you with a knife?!

@wartstein just the surgeon

@ everyone else, thanks for all the kind wishes!

Nothing carried today. But I was kind of at the wrong end of someone else’s knife (not a Spyderco though). Went through surgery today. Nothing too complicated, but noticeably reduced nonetheless.
Will have to take it easy for a while, so while I expect to resume carrying something tomorrow, I don’t ...

You'll never look more dapper while stabbing car doors.

How did I not think of this. That’s my primary use case

A question like this could probably be analyzed to death, and the result could come out different depending how deep you drill down.
The first knife that came to mind is the Native 5. And while they're probably all good, the salt version stands out to me.
For a linerless folding knife with (rather ...

I went from a misinformed CE skeptic, believing what people were parroting on the internet, to a converted believer once I took the plunge and tried it myself.

My first try was a FFG CE Thin Red Line Endela. I didn’t particularly enjoy the Endela model, but it gave me enough of a glimpse into CE to ...

Thanks for the heads up, I think I might have succeeded in snatching one.

I will not ...

This thread is killing me..

looks like a fun and useful little thing, but I have a feeling it will slip away. Still hoping though.

I'm not sure I understand the question, or what the "answer" to the question is looking to solve.
Anyhow, the way I interpret it, it seems quite difficult to answer.
While colors can be a way to express ones personality or mood, knives are a bit different than say watch bands for an Apple watch or a ...

If inventory moves this fast, I’m not too optimistic this will find its way to my mailbox

Looks like standing in line is half the fun.
Nice to see people with a shared interest coming together and creating a good atmosphere.

And the prices at the end of the line wasn’t to shabby either.
Not very likely that I’ll ever get the chance to go myself, but I sure wouldn’t mind if the ...

From time to time I've been looking to pick up a Caly 3.5 as well, but ran into the same issue of OOS.
It's a bummer, as I need availability to coincide with one of my rare US orders, but knowing that Sal wants more denim micarta in the line up was surly a bright light on the horizon.

I currently ...

I plan to buy just about any and every new Caly style that Sal offers. Cash willing.

For a K390 Caly, I'll dig ditches, at night, in the graveyard, while it's raining, to earn the money for it.

That's commitment

As with any knife purchase, a forum knife or anniversary knife is only of interest if it looks like something that would be of use to me.
Loud knives, i.e. billboarding, busy color/graphics schemes, etc. are by default not useful, so as long as it's reason for existing is announced in a subtle ...

Here you go … size comparison.


That's quite substantially junior-esque

Thanks for the comparison.
I'll try to pick one up if availability coincides with something else on my list being on black-something-sale, so I can spread shipping and import fees over a couple of knives. More expensive ...

​I've struggled to get along with slings, but I really want to like them.
Had a few over the years, but always return to using a backpack instead.
And now I'm back to looking at them again.

I try to do as much as possible of my commutes by foot, so a good system to carry what I need for the day is ...

I might be wrong but I remember Sal mentioned something about a Cento 4 being considered. Fingers crossed !


Centofante 3 has been a sleeper on my list for many years, but not yet made it to the top of my priorities.
A Centofante 4 would be an instant buy. 100%.

<edit, quoted the wrong post ...

I picked up a Junction for a good price yesterday.


It's so wild that something like that can happen.
We don't really have anything in this this country that qualifies as a physical knife shop, so the idea of walking into a store and find something like that is utterly unrealistic to me ...

It’s kind of a middle ground for me.
One for life isn’t enough to provide the versatility I prefer when switching between different types of use, but I’m well past the point where I switch knives or any part of my carry just because it brings me joy. It’s all about the use case, and I usually don ...

Yesterday I got my first ever Caly, of any variation, in the mail.



Hey! Congrats! Hope you like it!!

I agree with Aladin. Possibly the world's most perfect knife. Your knife's well-worn brother permanently rides in the glovebox of my car.


Thank you, my friend. I have a feeling I'll be ...

I'd start at 15 and add microbevel IF there is unexpected damage in use. But that's what I do with basically every knife I get ^^. Rarely do I happen upon a steel that can't handle it (I had a couple D2 and M390 blades whose edges crumbled at that dps) and most can go lower still


I'm not one to ...
