Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

I ended up with a few fistfuls of ClipiTools to give away as gifts.

Only took 6.5 hours of refreshing while at work—thank goodness for dual monitors.

I happen to be getting married this year too Evil D, congratulations on your marriage! I’m probably going to do ...

Gentleman’s Knife Recommendation

Good evening all, I am in the market for a “classier” knife. I’m getting married this summer and want to get a gentleman’s knife for the occasion. What are your recommendations? I’m not opposed to dressing up a cheaper blade with nicer scales or buying something older on the secondary market, I just...

Still trying to dial in the edge on this bad boy. I’m swaying back and forth between the DMT Extra fine or polishing it on the Spyderco ceramics.

Re: Safety of IWB compression lock at 12:00 while running?

I’m not proud to admit it, but the only time I’ve had a compression lock open accidentally (while carried tip up IWB) was when I dropped my pants to answer nature’s call. I was in a rush and the handle struck the floor hard enough to jostle the blade open. Fortunately I caught it before I was finish...
