Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)
I like that BM offers knives with short, neutral handles. The small Adira could be rather perfect for my hand. The Manix-like sharp radius on the finger guard, grippy handle material and a rear hook should allow for a very comfortable and secure grip. But I'm not sure another crossbar lock knife wil...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?
Spyderco Junction is one of my favourite fixed blades. Pack it every holiday and work trip in my check in back. Spyderco has had some great fixed blades over the years. Problem is they always end up discontinued. Probably due to sales. https://files.catbox.moe/dqfov4.jpeg Just by assessing pictures...

Re: Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??
I’ve been able to hold off on getting a Police for the longest time, but if Spyderco were to bring about a FFG CE Police LW, that could be the nail in the coffin for my abstinence. It’s highly unlikely we’ll see a Police Salt, at least in the short term, but if they could bring out a CE LW that is o...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless
As far as I can tell, the Jetsetter is a Rambler without the knife layer, so it loses the file/flat head as well. It’s hard not to like the Rambler, in my opinion it’s the obvious choice over a Classic, but hardly gets anywhere near the same attention. But even with the knife blade in place, this is...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless
I read an equally poorly written news article about this on the train this morning. With such bad journalism as we have today, it's hard to really know what's the real story behind what you just read, but my interpretation of it was similar to Rusty's. It makes sense to add bladeless options (to the...

Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban
That was a positive review indeed.
And it did make me want to carry my Urban again, so it did at least help a little bit.
Maybe I'll chime in again after a day or two of carry :)

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
Born in 1965, to technically Gen X. Got to be a kid in the seventies and eighties and it was awesome! Stayed outside from sun up to sun down, learned to build and fix things, then break them and fix them again!

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
I guess I'm gen X, but I seem to only get along with people who are 45 years of age or older, so no, I don't seem to fit into the stereotype of my generation. Gen X is approx. 44+, so that sounds quite right. I never think of generational stereotypes in my own relations. There are people who impres...

Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban
yup, let's hope it reappears. The Urban is a weird one. Perfect ergonomics in the handle (for my hand), but compared to other alternatives it's a bit chubby in pocket for the amount of blade I get, so it hardly ever gets carried. I have the later version with the shortened blade, unfortunately. But ...

Re: Lost my Military 2
That's a bummer, Jim. Hope you find it again.
I've lost more multitools than I can recall, but knives have a tendency to turn up again - eventually. I hope this will be the case for you as well.

Re: The greatest mail call ever??
I'm quite jealous of your Catcherman, Lance. I really hope I can catch one while they're still around, and without paying crazy money, which is my only option atm. I really feel like time is running out. The PM2 salt looks nice. It's almost tempting me to give the PM2 another go, but I'll hold off a...

Re: Golden Serrated Salts
Not to mention CE salts. I know I’ll sound like a broken record in this regard, but the total absence of CE in the salt production lineup is both surprising and a little disappointing. Of the Golden salts I think a Manix CE would be my preference, but ideally I’d also like to see backlock in the 3.5...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I think both are ergonomically compromised… Out of all my Spydercos The lil native feels like it needs jimping the most yet is the only one I own that doesn’t have jimping. The pocket clip also makes itself known in the hand the most. The Dragonfly is a 3 finger knife in my hands which to me makes ...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
To me, the price point is the primary attraction with Chinese value line. That difference becomes less obvious with the higher end steels. Sure the designs are good as well, and if you prefer your edge all the way up to the handle, there's not a whole lot of options in the Spyderco lineup. It's sti...
