Re: *Shipping to Australia & New Zealand Suspended*
Was just in the US and had to send a parcel to a friend in Canada. The USPS charge to Canada was $29 for a watch strap that fitted in a letter satchel. Small parcel to Australia was $89. So I can see why Spyderco has stopped the service until flights are back to normal. Knowing that half of every p...

Re: What knife do you carry clipless?
I removed the clip on my Subvert and I carry it in a Surefire belt holster or in my Billingham Hadley Pro bag (Firefly in my pocket).

Re: *Shipping to Australia & New Zealand Suspended*
I am receiving knives throughout the pandemic using FedEx and I pay customs on shipments over $1000 AUD (Brad Zinker - 2022, and a Rask - 2021).

Re: Sharp thumb hole fix ?
Use a Sharpmaker rod or something similar to break the edge. Don't go too far or you'll find that your thumb slips off I assume I can polish the jimp slightly also? Which rod is best? I have Spyderco knives with sharp edges and I bought a Lansky 3-sided Diamond Pen ($17.99 smackeroo's) to take down...

Re: Favorite small spyderco
1. Firefly - Companion to the Subvert
2. Vrango - Small EDC
3. Lil' Lum Blue Nishijin - Fifth pocket
4. Pingo Ti - I carry this knife when I want a non-threatening or widely-legal blade
5. Squeak Ti - I use this knife to open packages with new knives.

Re: Recommend a Sharpener to Gift
Does it matter which of these sharpeners discussed are suitable for more funky blades like my Vrango, Subvert, Pingo, and Lil Lum?
Thanks

Re: I want a new knife, but something different
You seem to have a gap in your flippers. LOL. I like the Advocate and Dice. I think the Dice is a flipper extrordinaire due to at least six ways to open the knife.

Love the little ones like the Vrango, Pingo, Lil Lum, and Firefly; something very different from your collection.

Re: How did you get into Spyderco?
I started scuba diving and went shopping for a diving knife. Rather than buy a knife from a company that makes masks and fins, I looked for a diving knife from a knife company. My selection criteria brought me to Spyderco and the H1 Enuff fixed blade SE. (I also bought an H1 Pacific Salt 2 and Drago...

Re: Do you value inhouse designs higher than collaboration models?
I have a variety of knives designed by Sal and Eric (I am waiting for a Dice to arrive). However, collaboration is the elixir of innovation. I'm looking forward to seeing more collaborations in smaller knives (e.g., Vrango, Squeak, Khalsa, Lil Lum, Pingo, Perrin PPT, Techno 2, etc.). Maybe a Mini Su...
