Re: Which model has impacted your preferences the most?
Great topic. Delica 4 Emerson Wave The Emerson "Wave" feature captured me. A local store owner demonstrated it for me in on a Delica in about 2008. I have since never carried anything without this feature (or aftermarket 5x5, hat-tip Michael Janich) or the zip tie mod (which sucks). The ut...

Re: Knife Testing, Project Farm
Just for clarity, I have seen probably about 70% of Project Farm vids. Love them. Just not this one.

Re: Knife Testing, Project Farm
I think Todd is great. But wow, is it fascinating to see a non-knifenut's take. The best brand - derived from a arbitrary selection of models and testing that ignores steel types, ergonomics, customer service, history, etc., is pretty sophomoric. I was cringing throughout the entire video. That was ...

How would one go about installing a Spyderco clip that is "bent backwards"? Glue?

Re: Economic Trends in the Secondary Knife Market???
Agreed. Certainly there are better hedges. I am thinking more along the lines of diversifying a small percentage of an overall portfolio. Would tools retain value better than most physical products in an environment of excessive inflation? For the sake of discussion, let's say "Yes". As th...

Re: Economic Trends in the Secondary Knife Market???
Is it a completely unreasonable or fool-hardy thought to think that one could hedge against dollar inflation by putting money into useful tools that, also, have a bit of a collectible, or brand-enthusiastic quality to them? Obviously, for example, the Rock Lobster (price) or Smallfly (utility) may n...

Re: Economic Trends in the Secondary Knife Market???
Jackson (and everyone else), Absolutely. All considerable points. Still curious what Spydieheads would consider a "base" currency if Spyderco knives had to be used in place of cash. A silly, pointless, and frivolous idea, I am certainly aware, but would it be a current base-model PM2? Deli...

Economic Trends in the Secondary Knife Market???
TLDR: Do resale knife market pricing / demand trends act as a useful "heads-up" on the direction of the general economy? Would you use a tool that aggregated this information in real-time and, if so, for what purpose? Please pardon me if this has been explored in a previous thread. A reaso...

Re: Questionable tag lines & shiny footprints
Broken record statement here.... But well done, Sal. What better way to lead than by example? And what better example to lay forth in our unprecedented tumultuous times than this. It will take action, not words (tho I do see the irony here), to start to slowly right the ship that we call "Weste...

Re: MT30P - Mule Team Featuring Z-Wear PM - Release Date
Wow. Realized it was 9:00 MDT at 9:00 MDT. Had to boot an old laptop. That took about 2 min. The site was sluggish as usual for these drop times. I figured I had no chance but I would give it a shot. Wasn't logged-in! Doh! I logged in and quickly added one mule to the cart, disregarding the sheath, ...

Re: How did you get into Spyderco?
I stopped into a surplus store in 2006. I knew nothing of pocket knives at the time. The gentleman behind the counter noticed me looking at the knives on display. He pointed to a Delica with the Emerson Opening feature and said, "Have you seen this one"? I said, "Yes, looks like it ha...
