Thank you! It looks like I get to travel more for the job, makin my list of what’s legal while on the ro...

Re: Please help me pick my first spydie

I like all of your picks! If I could only have one - it would be the cruwear micarta PM2. please take in consideration that as i’ve gotten older the high polished G10, CF & micarta is too slippery for me for an EDC knife. the shaman is awesome, but I had to change the scales to a rough micarta ...

Re: M4 Shaman vs Cruwear PM2 vs GB2

How does the detent compare to the M4 Shaman? I don't own a Shaman, but I would imagine it has a strong detent. GB2 is one of the lightest detents of the models I own. I'm starting to get confused which thread I'm responding to. Sorry about that :grimace I created this thread because I wanted to ad...
