Got A Chuckle Out Of This

I was in a local store that was having a clearance sale on a bunch of shoes and boots. This pair of Keen sandals caught my eye. I got a bit of a chuckle out of the label on them. It’s not that the sandals are waterproof, but that the materials aren’t affected by water. 🤣

Re: Para 3 LW Spy27 vs. Delica 4 K390

Welcome Tazzerboy, I'm going off on a tangent here, but do you qualify for the Spyderco OpFocus program? There are discounts on nearly all Spyderco stuff under the OpFocus program. Here's a bit of info on the OpFocus program from the OpFocus page and the link to that page on spyderco.com below that....

Re: Is the PM2 too big for my tiny hands or not?

I’ve found that when I have my index finger forward on the choil the area I’m gripping is identical on the Para 3 and the PM 2. The longer handle on the PM 2 just extends back below the heel of my hand into space. In the first two photos I set the Para 3 on top of the PM 2 to show the difference. My...

Re: Red & Black Holiday Sale!

Hello all, new member, first post, lifelong sharp edged tools enthusiast…My question is, are the factory seconds marked as such and how are the marked? I assume like other manufacturers they do mark them but I am curious as to how they are marked. Thanks everyone and best of luck to all that will b...

Re: Buck 110 question

They offer to buy this “50th Anniversary” one, but there is no 50 annyversary insert on the scale. is this fake or original? There is the 50th anniversary stamp on the tang, though. (The number “50” in the anvil.) The following is from the Buck Knives website: https://www.buckknives.com/about/behin...

Re: Torque and lightweight models

I haven’t had issues in the times I’ve used linerless FRN knives > 3.5”, but I’m not using them to the point where they give. I guess any material could exceed its elasticity and give. I think at the point where any part of it starts to bend, or twist, you’d need to throttle back a bit or switch to ...

Re: Endura M4

I picked up an Endura/M4 last weekend at the Seconds Sale. Just as another data point they were $80 out the door.

I also had the Sage 5, Delica, and Native 5 versions in my basket but tossed the Delica and Native 5 back. (You gotta leave a few for breeding purposes, ya know. :winking-tongue )

Re: Picture you may enjoy

Just driving around the block I figured that floor space in the new expansion is probably over twice the size of the original building. Looking at it from the air, that could easily be the case.

Re: What makes a steel 'aggressive'?

Larger, chunkier, carbides, where when the steel is sharpened the matrix is worn away a bit more between the carbides?
