Sorry for quoting everyone, but I'm always just amazed by the knives and quality of pictures that are posted here! Anyhow I'm carrying the ZT 0566 today!

The Shipping Manager came out smiling and told me to open it . This is a Ed Hinman from Astoria Illinois custom very few were made . It’s a very stout knif...

i don't typically carry assisted flippers anymore. after the smooth action of many spydies i have, not to mention much more sophisticated locks and overall designs, most assisted flippers feel cheap to me. i still have to carry this one every once in a while though. there's something about that com...

Nice knife and a great picture too!

I'd be all for a CQI Siren in MagnaCut!

Thank you very much for the responses! The reassurance from you guys means a lot to me!

Can anyone tell me whether my Titanium Military is real or fake? I bought it used off of ebay from a seller with good feedback. I know I probably shouldn't have because it wasn't straight from an authorized dealer. The box and the quality of the knife seem pretty close to authentic in my eyes. The g...

I bought a Large Spydiebenza user off the Exchange and it's basically my perfect knife. It's a shame that a production version will likely never happen. It's like the Sebenza was designed for the hole. I stopped posting pictures when I carry it because I'm not sure where Spyderco stands with this, ...

The Smock was the first model to my mind. The flipper tab and the push button lock are incredibly satisfying! I love the way that both of my Native 5's snap into the locked position! The Manix 2 is also incredibly smooth but locks open so solid and fluently! My favorite non Spyderco's would be my Be...

I only have experience with these two steels in PE. With that being said I strongly prefer LC200N over H1. I find it holds an edge quite a bit longer than H1. I can also get LC200N sticky sharp on my Sharpmaker, where ad I can only get H1 fairly sharp. This could however be completely due to operato...

I was also thinking he might really like a Lil' Native

A bit off topic, but Enabler D, in another thread, convinced me to try a pair of Darn Toughs. I'm going to see how I like them, and the warranty is incredible. The initial cost is a bit steep but if you buy about 10 pairs so you have a good number to rotate through, with their warranty policy you'l...

Currently my favorite small Spyderco is the Native 5. I have the regular g10 version and the Salt version and I don't know if I could pick a favorite. I also have an M4 Lil' Native on the way that I'm excited to try out!

Happy birthday man! I hope you had a great day!

This beauty just showed up 5 minutes ago! A quick switch of the pocket clip and I'm loving it!

Darn Tough fan here! Sign me up!

Same!

I prefer LC200N over H1 but my experience with the steels has only been in plain edge.

I wouldn't do much to either one, maybe look into chemical rust removal (oxalic acid bath, vinegar) just to remove any corrosion but I don't think I'd polish anything because I'd want the scratches from use to remain. I would get them as clean as I could without sanding or polishing and I'd probabl...
