I like that, are those custom scales?

I am off to go Glamping for a couple of days so the Native Chief with the orange G10 gets the pick . . . and maybe my new to me Military if the mail comes before we leave.

Re: Price increases 2023?

But then I will have to return to complaining about "X" model needing the handle to me 5/8th an inch longer and the blade being a snot bit thicker at the tip and not coming in this particular wonder steel to be perfect. Ok, I guess.

Re: Laminated Cos vs 3g

Thanks, Dan. That is a useful data point. I also read on BF that they are coming out with the F1 in Elmax next year. That might also help to explain the move. They have already released the F1x and F1 Pro in Elmax. I had an S1x in CoS and found it to be a great steel. That said I did not really abu...

Re: What Knife Did You Sell Today?

I’ve only ever sold one knife before, a NIB Captain that a guy on FB must have really wanted….bad! I’ve gifted away probably 6 or 7 over the years. I was just thinking about this the other day, think I’m going to have me a fire sale and move around 20 knives! Any fixed blades? Are you going to post...

Re: What Knife Did You Sell Today?

I can't believe how many of you are hoarders haha!! It's fun to get rid of some that don't see any use or carry, to fund something new! I'm thinking my M4/DLC Native Chief is next on the chopping block. Exactly. A lot of times I sell a knife to fund a knife. Granted my "collection" is sma...

Re: Where to sell knives

"Spyderco Knives" group on Facebook. The only rule is that it has to be a Spyderco knife, or a brand x that you want to trade for a Spyderco. I've not used OfferUp. I've had ads blocked on Craigslist, eBay, and FB Marketplace because knives are scary and liable to trigger someone's delica...

Swap page is a good place to start, if more people used it it would be better, but that is up to us.

Re: Knifecenter All Black PM2 CruWear coming soon

Forgive me, but, I just don't get smooth G-10. Does that go for all smooth handle materials or just smooth G10? Looking at my knives, probably all smooth handles. In micarta I like canvas or at least linen but not paper. Same reason I tend to shy away from full titanium knives. Needs a little textu...

Re: Price increases 2023?

Great sketch. Unfortunately, these days living in a van down by the river can be more expensive than a house in a neighborhood. Those vans can get expensive quick. :squinting-tongue

If I hadn't gotten the BBB Manix, this would be my daily carry for a long time. Love this combo, great steel, great coating, great colors. I'm hoping/dreading there'll be more. I would love a N5 in this combo but would settle for a para 2 and/or 3.
All in on a Chief in this combo.

Re: Microtech question?

I bought my first Microtech, an Ultratech, in February I believe. Carried it a bunch but didn't cut that much with it. Returned to a Spyderco with the purchase of a Chief on August 30th and have had not carried the Microtech since. I have also bought two more Spyderco folders and traded the Ultratec...

Re: Are college bowl games meaningless, today?

I voted no, but, there are too many of them and 6 and 6 teams should not go bowling. It has become a $ thing and also everyone is a winner type attitude that has gotten us here. Someone on twitter made the statement that only 8 win teams should go bowling . . . I kind of agree with that but it is ne...

Re: DLC coating is tough

Mentally I know it is tough, however my Chief with DLC coating still gets babied as I am subconsciously afraid of marring the blade so I reach for my non DLC Chief when I want to carry somewhere that I think I will be using it. Granted on fixed blades I don't give a sh*)^t about the blade and in fac...
