Spyderco Forums

K thanks for the glow-lume idea that I'm totally going to rip off of you 😁. I cannot believe that I didn't know about this stuff when I use SrAl2O4 strontium aluminate glow in the dark coatings on my kitchen handles as an option. Seriously thank you lol. A lot. -Jason No drama happy to help You do ...

Cocobolo scales that are fresh off the buffing wheel. No finish or buffing compound, just sanded to 1000 grit then buffed with a raw cotton fabric wheel. You can see why this wood is so desirable. https://i.imgur.com/miVkvCC.mp4 Casper, what kind of fasteners are those? They appear to be flat or do...

For those that have made wooden handles, what size pins did you use? 4mm? 6mm? I could argue that the pins are almost useless. Their diameter isn't exactly for strength it's for looks. Let's just walk through together how we make full tang knives in my shop or anywhere really. It's not a very effic...

This is interesting. You use nylon 3,3 or wood? Or polyethylene/teraphalate? I craft end-grain wood cutting boards, which is what is used in our kitchens almost exclusively. I imagine they would create a bunch of micro plastic shavings on any plastic board as well. Yum, right? -burly Very nice. Thi...

Won't someone please think of the cutting boards? Those microserrations are the nemesis of my fine boards. I got a couple little free paring microserrated knives when purchasing Spydercos online....they are now banned from the kitchen, and relegated to garden or garage work. Even then, in 90% of ca...

I have always loved how wood looks on a knife once it's properly done and whatnot. I personally like some of the lighter ... 'Worse' ones like ash or such which is what is on my secondary santoku in rex 121(bad idea cause I'm lazy and always wait until after eating for cleaning up, magnacut has beco...

Fresh set of Gabon Ebony scales I made on my HIC Mule. Last night I ordered some black screws so I can go full stealth 😎 https://i.imgur.com/nYorIiF.jpeg I like that. A lot. Get a few with the black screws if you don't mind so I know if I should switch over. I've wanted to use CF but I don't have a...

and my memory is not bad, despite my age. Oh come on now man your memory is better than mine! I'm not just saying that to make ya feel better or something like that, we all know it's not just age that matters there with the brain. I respect ya too much to bs you. I just need to settle in here and w...

Sometimes less is more...

At times sure. Not when communication is a problem in the relationships. I have to disagree with you there sir.

I don't recall interacting with you over on Blade Forums, Jason. Doesn't necessarily mean we haven't, but I take no offense to any misunderstanding that we may have had. My posts could be criticized for incomplete information, but I never post false information to the best of my understanding. I'm ...

Picture shows on my phone, so must be my pc that is the problem..... Well that makes absolutely no sense unless you're using an ad blocker which.. no wouldn't do that. Some extension could? I thought you saw what I did and was like yummy 😅 what a fail. And ya Mike I will later I don't think that th...

Using this a bit lately. @legOFwhat? handle that was gifted a while back.

I see no picture

Hahahahah I was wondering if my brain had the same reaction as others. It did!

Can I lick it

Thanx Jason, but we have plenty of steel. sal 10-4 LC. I sort of meant the users here because I forgot that this isn't a "knife maker" forum, but quickly realized my mistake. I'm honestly not sure why Mike asked me here he's.. very smart and did marketing basically. He knows that type isn...

Does this have a pulse? Asking for a friend

Yeah sure. It's on my list of ones I haven't used and theoretically would like to. +1

Taichung is doing an excellent heat-treatment of Maxamet. They always have and that's why I also put in for it but.. Maxamet I would think* is a little easier to heat treat but they said 68 and Rockwell said.. 68. Not 68.25 not 67.75. I was surprised and became a customer instantly. I'm calling tha...

Okay so minus another one for science. After throwing it around at painted cinder block and dropping it onto concrete at the tip and once that fractured then the edge, I think my little hypothesis was wrong about the vibration deal as, this is when I wish I had a high speed camera, but it seemed to ...

You're talking about knowing stuff but when speaking with an entire community of people with very different levels of knowledge/culture on the subject, it can't really bring a lot to the discussion if you do not have a way to vulgarize or explain what you know as facts. That might be one of the rea...

You're totally right there. See I'll admit right now that was a good example of my generational laziness. I saw an old thread and.. well I know steel lol. However you made a very big mistake there sir Sal. Guess who didn't get that sticker? Mhhm. Guess who's a total sticker nerd and would like it. M...

I believe that the reason they break isn't necessarily the force of the drop but.. resonate vibrations that.. ceramics just don't like. I could cite a bunch of science stuff but I don't actually know that, it's an educated guess. I have one of these things left that I was .. admittedly not using as ...

Hi TkoK83Spy, I guess we'll see in time? Hey Jason, Interesting history. I would guess most folks here have an interesting history. Life is a "Long and winding road". Hope Mike' gets well quickly. I guess we're getting a bit off topic here? sal Definitely, that's why I kinda just didn't r...
