This year I'm submitting the picture of my 10 years old Spyderco Dragonfly Salt 2 .

I grew up poor, behind the Iron Curtain. I got my first knife when I was 10 years old and was told to take care of it, because otherwise it will rust and it's going to be taken away from me. We didn't have access ...

My reply is posted up in general discussion now. I did talk to Wendy who is awesome and I will be receiving this mule for testing. I am grateful for Sal and the spyderco team for arranging this opportunity for me. I will post all my results in my thread in the general discussion unless Sal prefers ...

You're absolutely right about the difference between a coarse edge and a fine edge—it's a fascinating topic in the world of knives, and your experience highlights a key distinction. Here's a breakdown based on your observations and the general principles of knife sharpening:

Gail and I are currently carrying and testing the S90V version. It really is a highly evolved design and very nicely ...

Having the Sage 6 was such a journey. I know I had no influence, but I got lucky to see Eric in the factory store, while yelling ,"Congrats on the MANIX 2! Please put on a button lock on a SAGE!" Eric continued to walk on and wave. No worries.

cool thread.
