Re: Boating and lanyards

The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces. In equation form, Archimedes’ principle is F B = w fl , where F B is the buoyant force and w fl is the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. https://pressbooks.online.ucf.edu/phy2048tjb/chapter/14-4-archimedes-princip...

Re: Boating and lanyards

Real cork must be at least 50% air by my guess. ****! Now I need to find some corks to defend my honor. How many corks needed to float every knife model list is needed.

Re: Boating and lanyards

You could make a lanyard out of silicone tubing to get your knife to float and even add a cork to it. Use a brightly colored silicone color and use a reliable method to trap the air inside the tube. The silicone tubing can be used for all kinds of McGyver tasks while backpacking in a pinch like maki...

Wine corks and paracord are your friends. Use real one piece corks.
That is really rather clever!

Re: Yojumbo M4

I made the scales “Skinny” and added more room for my finger on the lock access. I also added a forward school that eliminates the nub when closed but the nub does not really bother me like it does on the Shaman. It’s a dream of a knife now. I swapped the blades so the M4 is on the carbon fiber now ...

@Fireman nice! Do the jade scales have the same texture as the stock black ones?
Yes. I posted pics but I’ll see if I can dig them up

Re: Yojumbo M4

I already have two 🥰 I swapped my blades so I have a S90V with Jade scales and modded it. Love it and the stock one that is all black but M4 blade now. It’s a great knife for us big hand people. I’d get this one but I have others in mind to get. Happiness is a modded Spyderco

Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

How does Ultem respond to RIT dye?
Ultem can be good to see if you are developing rust under scales.
I would like to see Ultem used on the Roadie. I would call it the Roadie “Apple Juice”🤣🤣🤣🤣

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

It’s a 50th anniversary not a 5th though. Putting a little 5 next to the Spydiehole just flat out wouldn’t read as “50.” It would read as a “5” next to the Spydiehole. There aren’t many, if any, knives that offer enough space next to the Spydiehole to make the “5” large enough to make it read as a ...

Ive never had a problem opening the shaman via the lock. Maybe I've just got skinny fingers. I have modded more access and it’s delightful afterwards. Some of us have sausage fingers :grin-smiling-eyes :index-finger glad it's working for you now. The issue for my fat fingers was to make the scales ...

Re: Shaman thoughts

Looking for a set of shaman liners. I purchased a shaman and the person sent another completed kinife with black blade. All the parts I need to make another knife. The issue is appearently he messed up the pivot hole on one of the liners. Not sure if he wasn't aware of the D shape or why he did to ...
