I have a set of his "Skinny Cut" Shaman scales, sorry about the pic, it's not the best angle, but this is what they look like.... I wasn't sure when I ordered them, but I figured with the rep he has, he probably knows what he's doing.... sure 'nuf, took me about 3 minutes after istalling to declare...

..... I also like it more than the Para3 LW because the handle isn't as restricting (the bump near the rear of the grip makes it cramped for my large hands). Honestly, a good argument could be make that the Sage5 LW is the one to rule them all. +1 Sadly, the Sage 5 LW is not a Golden model and so p...

That's some really impressive sharpening, I can get Aogami Super Blue to do that, and just about there with XHP, but I've never gotten S90V (or anything else) there, I definitely need more practice time with it... and I agree, s90v is great steel, I have 3 Spydies with it and love each and every one...

Micarta all the way for the comfort factor. I already unloaded my Rosewood model. Too smooth, feels like plastic, and the edges of the scales felt like they needed some fine sanding. Cruwear model has been a dream since day one! One of my favorites. That's really interesting to me, I love most mica...

I would not call it normal, but VG10 can rust as pretty much any steel but H1 can... have you tried "Bar Keepers Friend"?

Yeah, I would have a peek at this...

What kind of liners/steel/models do you have that have "a lot of dust" in them?

Hi JMM, The current model of the Warncliffe Delica was requested, promoted and was the driving force behind our making of a Warncliffe Delica was created by Jazz. He presented rational argument for the effectiveness of such a model in his work. We made a prototype for him to test. He approved of th...

I have the blackout, TiCN coated Sabre-Ground combo edge endura, it's my favorite of any endura I have ever had.... The delica is equally impressive . . .

Query:. Jazzlica?

They really need to do a Manix in this combination.

+1. Heck yeah, I would jump at that configuration!

While we're at it, that colour scheme & configuration would make a beautiful Shaman IMO.

Ok, so first on the money thing, please look at the "crazy deals 2" thread, BNIB base s30v/g10 shipped free for 129. That's Manix2 cost, although for me it's not a monetary issue at all. Here's what I have experienced in *my* usage/needs, again, I'm not slighting the Manix2 platform, I love it, but ...

the standard shaman isn't a reasonable price either. the manix 2 in the same materials is $80 cheaper and even cheaper still in a lightweight model. if you’re bent on the compression lock and g10, the paramilitary 2 in the same materials is still $50 cheaper. “but that’s because they have thinner b...

I saw the announcement page for River's Edge's new PM2 on their website yesterday but it didn't say when it will be releasing. Just wondering if any of you guys have any ideas?

Can you post a link please?

Here ya go...

I guess I can see that (reduced cost), although I think that the real cost of skeletonizing a liner is minimal compared to other cost concerns like blade steel and assembly complexity... my bet is that the Manix stays so affordable due to a lock mechanism that doesn't rely on precision fitting, rat...

Not yet, they are generally pretty tight lipped at this stage, as pretty much everyone doing an Exclusive, especially given the way the Para3 version went... I hope they order a bunch, I'm not a super big PM2 fan, but I would like one for sure, but not enough to pay $400+ in the secondary market lik...

I had a little bit of that on the tang of mine, Flitz & <60 sec took it right off.

I can speak from personal experience, you can truly un-rit-dye pretty much anything in two steps, provided you have not used "Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative" to seal-the-deal... Step 1. Place the scales in 100% acetone -- you can use fingernail polish remover, it doesn't work as well with the scents & c...

Yes. Long ago, in "The Dark Times" -- before I was introduced to the wonderful world of Spydie's, I had a SOG SlimJim XL, in theory it seemed like a good idea, super slim, should carry in the back pocket well. First day of carrying it, the third time I used it I think, but the first time I put any m...

Got mine today.

Nice one for the collection.

Did you pay for expedited/upgraded shipping by any chance?
