Ace Hardware here has screws that small in metric and standard but the heads are way bigger than the Spyderco screws and they don't have them in Torx, just flat or philips. I'd call Spyderco.

I have a 3 year old girl and a 19 month old boy and now a 3 day old boy. My daughter fell in love with Toby right away but my son is still not sure what to think.

I almost took my wood-handled Tenacious, but my wife said no. :) Toby was born at 10:45 this morning, 8 lbs 4 oz. Everyone is doing well.

I use my original Native almost every day. It fits my hand nicely and is very lightweight. I like the swedge on the Native 3 better, but this blade does a great job also. Get one, you won't regret it.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It took way more hours than I thought it would. These are my practice scales though. I have a couple pieces of walnut that I'm hoping to use for scales now. I really like these too. I may have to buy another Tenacious for the other wood. :)

White maple Tenacious finished

Show and tell time. I finally found time to finish the scales on my Ten. The blade isn't centered perfectly but its fine for a user. These are my first custom scales ever. Thanks for looking. :)

Picture request: D4 and Native

Hi all,
Could someone post a picture of a FRN Delica 4 with a FRN Native 2? I'm looking for a comparison of the overall size and also the handle thickness. I have a Native and and would like a foliage green or all black D4 but want to know how they compare in size.
Thanks.

Need help with custom Tenacious

Hi everyone. I have made some white maple scales but I am having some issues getting the blade centered. These are my practice scales. I have some walnut blanks roughed out for my finals but I thought I'd better try out my skills on something else first. Any ideas on what I might need to change? My ...

bohica1998 is right. I have the 1st generation, not the Native 2, which is SS. Again, great knife. Thanks.

Which one? I have the Native 2. It is my edc work knife. I wish the FRN handle were just a hair thinner but it stays sharp and fits in the hand great. Its very easy to get a good tight grip on it and not worry about my finger slipping forward because of the good sized choil on the blade. I like it a ...

I think you can only start with lighter colors and dye them darker colors. I wish it worked the other way too though.
