Checked everything again with the wife, car, clothes, under the furniture, in every jacket i have, in every drawer. At one moment she wanted to look in the attic but then we realised i haven´t been on the attic for weeks. Nothing yet. Check inside of shoes. Sounds crazy but I had a knife drop into ...

Awww man, waiting with bated breath for the Sage 5 in Rex 121! Same. Wondering what the price on it is gonna be though. I assume 225. Hopefully less, and not too much more Ouch. Yeah, I hope less too. Curious what that estimate is based off of? I know that the Maxamet models go for about that much,...

How can you tell they're fake? They used the word "tactical." Kidding. Not aware of an S90V version in bright red. Orange, but not red even though they describe it as orange. Blade looks stonewashed. There is a 2nd screw by the pivot screw that should be a pivot if it is pivot constructio...

The irony is you’ve resurrected a thread that’s been dead for three weeks just to say that. :winking-tongue This is the thread that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Somebody started replying to it, not knowing what it was, and we just continued to posting to it forever just because...

How can you tell they're fake?

Well, I tried flipping the cage the other way, and it wouldn't open or close right with it in that configuration. Could kind of wiggle the cage around to get it open, but then looking inside of the knife it looked like the ball was about to fall out, so that definitely doesn't seem like the issue. H...

Did you try slopping some lube in there? There isn't much to go wrong with that lock. Maybe the cage is dragging on the scale before the ball is completely jammed into the gap. Yeah it's pretty well oiled up. The back of the tang the ball travels on, as well as in the cage where the ball rolls, and...

I've got a Manix 2, one of the 15V BBB sprint runs. I noticed that it has some vertical blade-play/lock-rock, and I can't figure out why. I have thoroughly cleaned it out and everything, but it doesn't seem to go away. I noticed that if I press the cage forward, it tightens up, so that's what made m...

Is there anyone here smarter than I am who can explain how this could possibly work: https://youtu.be/dTyeLn7kt08 I get how it could work on a knife with axe-like geometry (like the ER he demonstrates it on), but Im not seeing how it could work on a knife meant to function like a knife. Bonus video...

To turn this into sort of a controlled experiment (rather than simply whining), I just knocked one of the other mules (a PMA11) onto the cement floor from the same tabletop six times with effectively no damage -- actually the point did suffer in one drop, but not anything I cannot sharpen out and n...

Hi Clint, Welcome to our forum. I made the decision not to publish Rc decades ago, simply to avoid argument. There are many people that have their own opinion on Rc or limited understanding about how the hardness fits into the cutting edge puzzle. I believe much of that has been mentioned here. It'...

You guys were getting better deals on Bucks than I was. My 119 cost me $59.99 in 2001. My 110 cost $49.99 in 2011. Both are only $15 more now. That's pretty good inflation-proofing for 15-20 year's time. But I figure Buck has a few other things going for them, too. Brand recognition, volume, availab...

...presented with a new material that is ridiculously hard to sharpen correctly they tend to forget about the "mule team" labeling... Picking this out in particular, because it was only in sharpening it that I realized how different from steel it was. It was weird because when reading the...

Chapstick seems to hold up well. I think it’s a blend of wax and petroleum jelly. Yeah, chapstick is my favorite. Cheap and easy to apply and is really stable. Plus it's non-toxic, so that's nice to not have to worry about washing my hands afterwards. Barricade also works well from what I have seen...

I did not have the fortune of disposable income to spend on this mule, which I've looked forward to for some time. This is one of the most interesting objects Spyderco's released, and I imagine it was challenging to manufacture. I think it's fantastic it was developed and offered for testing, and h...

So... Since this thread has attracted so much attention from the man himself, I have a question. It's not a loaded question except in the sense I personally prefer one model to the other...

Why is a Shaman $100 more than a Manix 2?

Could you elaborate more on that? What are the other companies of which you speak and what are they doing? sal This question wasn't directed at me but I will comment. Here is one of my purchases this week, a Vosteed Nightshade. This is a $70 knife with Nitro-V steel, liner lock, bearings, skeletoni...

I had what I consider a positive sharpening experience with the HIC Mule this evening and wanted to share what I learned along the way. When I first got this knife it wasn’t super sharp, but also not as bad as some people seem to have gotten. I was able to get it to the point it would shave arm hai...

Hi Kennbr, Again, you have my apology for your disappointment and for anything that we might have done to confuse you regarding the HIC Mule. I'm also sorry that you lost money on the deal. That was not our intention in doing the project. For you or for Sndmn. We don't really Market Mules as we wou...
