Re: I Don't Get The "Spydie-Flick."

Here's how: 20200414_122917.jpg This looks weird to me. Instead of having all your fingers extended outward, risking hitting the blade against those fingers...why wouldn't you have them around the handle, pressing against the pocket clip as added traction, for a better grip on the knife, as well as...

Re: Crazy idea: Tanto Delica

I just don't think of a Delica as the right platform for a Tanto blade. You definitely make a valid point. In the traditional hard use sense of a Tanto, the Delica certainly is not the ideal platform. While it does end up being used that way by some, the Delica never has been about being a hard use...

Jim Due to the style of the lanyard hole, the Delica has a little room to work with in the handle if the hole was redesigned or repositioned. P...

Re: Crazy idea: Tanto Delica

It would be crazy to me. Kind of a useless blade shape (to me). Change my mind. It's not crazy, it's just one more tool in the toolbox. I own zero tanto blades and recently found myself in the situation where a small tanto folder would have been the best tool for the job. I had to rehab 4 outdoor s...
