Re: Salt Knives Only!

Yeah it’s definitely a nice knife. Real nice size. I prefer knives in that size range.

Re: Salt Knives Only!

Looks great! And the SpydieChef is classified as a Salt Model from Spyderco. Thank you. I wasn’t sure if it was or not. I kinda figured it was considering it’s LC200N, titanium and even has a ceramic detent ball. I just think of the bright colored FRN knives when I think of the salt series. But I g...

Looks great! Well done! You can always add a drop or two of Dawn. That will help it penetrate as well.
Thank you and thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind if I do another one in the future.

Re: Show your love for Taichung Taiwan Spydercos!

Just got a Caribbean sheepsfoot plain edge yesterday! This thing is incredible except the hideous bumblebee scales. I took care of that today with some RIT graphite dye. Looks gorgeous now! Definitely looks like it means serious business now. https://i.postimg.cc/j5x3JfVG/IMG-8004.jpg https://i.post...

Re: Salt Knives Only!

I got my first salt knife yesterday. Well I guess “technically” the Spydiechef is a salt knife? I mean it’s about as corrosion proof as you can get. I got a nice trade deal on a like new in box Caribbean sheepsfoot plain edge. I had been looking at these and reading up on them and LOVE everything ab...

Re: Let’s see that 15V!

I got my 15V Para 2!!! I made friends with a guy on the Spyderco Reddit forum and was telling him about how bad it killed me to watch that 15V Para 2 disappear at the online sale because I couldn’t get through checkout. He lives just north of Denver and was going to the seconds sale and camping out ...

Re: The Show youre manixes thread.

Why is it that some of those are set up for left hand carry, but most are not? He said two are out and in the pocket’s so I’m guessing he probably carries one in each front pocket. I know some people that do that so they have a knife for either hand in case one’s occupied. I’ve actually thought of ...

Traded my M390 native chief for a Caribbean sheepsfoot plain edge so I sent one out in the mail today and have one coming in the mail! I can’t wait to get that Caribbean and dye the scales black or dark gray.

Re: Does anyone here ride motorcycles?!?

Went out with a buddy for probably the last ride of the year. I doubt we’ll have any more riding days. Even today it was pretty chilly and the sun left a half hour into the ride which sucked. We did about 160 miles. This stop was at the scenic overlook by Laporte, PA. https://i.postimg.cc/ncP2HWQW/I...
