I use lanyards on smaller knives to extend the grip, but mostly I use them on all folding knives to make it easier to extract them from my pocket.
I make all of my own from paracord.

Re: New PM2 question
The few times I've had an issue getting the pivot action where I want it without blade play on a PM2 I found the culprit is always the body screw nearest the pivot. Make sure to use a good quality T8 Torx bit, loosen it a bit, adjust the pivot until it is where you want the action, then add some blu...

Re: My First Bento Box Shop Experience
I have the Para 3 K390, and was fine with the cost considering the exclusive and the nature of their available stock. There's a cost involved in having stuff like that on the shelves.
Other than wishing their website was designed in the 21st Century, I had no problems with the purchase.

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
For me it would be the Native 5. It's the model (and family of models) that seems to be the heart and soul of Spyderco.
There's a good argument for the Endura & Military families as well.
From a general perception angle, it's the PM2 by a mile.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Tie a noose knot at the end of a paracord lanyard and slip your wrist through it when in use. At least it will be tethered when you are using it. I have one that I keep around for the rare times I'm up a ladder using a blade. The end that attaches to the knife is a simple bowline knot that I slip th...

Re: Seki City back lock quality in 2022?
I started buying Seki models in 2022, and they have all been perfect. One exception was a Delica Wharnie K390 that still had a burr, but was easily fixed. Mine is a sample of over 25 knives.

Re: MangaSlice - The Next Breakthrough in Knife Steel
You should offer this to Rockwell Industries for their Turbo Encabulator. It could solve the issues they have with the pre-famulated amulite. No more side fumbling of the lunar waneshaft!

Re: Which steel for my next knife? (Lil' Native)
I have all you mentioned. The pick for me would be Cru-Wear. If you use it a lot, strop it once a week and you will be amazed at the retention and performance.

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!
I have all the other Slysz Spyderco designs, but was gonna pass on this because I figured it couldn't live up to the hype, and it's more than I like to spend on any knife. Glad I didn't pass. It's a wonderful knife, and I thank Knife Joy for keeping it alive.

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
The Comp lock is genius, and I'd prefer it over a liner lock on any model that would work with it. I'm a mid back lock guy, and passed on the Lil' Native Comp in favor of the back lock version, but when KC offered their Cru-Wear / Smooth Black G10 version I couldn't resist. Now I actually prefer the...

So, for the sake of conversation, on the frn version, whaddayouwant? Colors, Steels or specific combinations? sal My first choice would be Cru-Wear, but that has never been used in Taichung as far as I know. M4 was used in the BHQ Sage 5, and that would be a great alt to Cru-Wear. Instant buy. And ...

Re: Your favorite exclusives
KnifeCenter Cru-Wear & Smooth Black G10. I have the PM2, PARA3, Native 5, Lil 'Native, Manix 2 XL, and Yo 2. Most in both satin and DLC. Cru-Wear is my fave steel, and the Smooth Black G10 is easy on the pockets and looks great. The ergos of all the models are sufficient such that a grippier sca...

Re: Any recommendations?
The Lil'Native Slip joint is the best small slippy on the planet. For a larger blade, Sal's idea of the UKPK is the way to go. If you think you can manage the mid backlock, I'd go Dragonfly 2 for a small blade, and the best knife ever made (IMHO) a Native 5 for a larger blade. The Native also offers...

Re: The Astute
If it ever got a CQI I'd love to see it with a blade at 2.98" and a black wire clip. I think that would increase sales. One of the qualities of the Astute is the insane edge to handle ratio. I think it would be a shame to change that for legal reasons (where I live I can't carry ANY locking Sp...

Re: Upping the price.
I wonder whether the tools our forbears had to buy were any cheaper relative to their incomes? Has anyone got an old Sears catalogue, to compare? I'm old, so maybe I can help: The first Buck 110 I bought was around $30, and would have been in the late '00s or early 2010s. It seemed expensive to me ...
