Re: Jeff Loffer from Cutlery Shoppe the new PM2 in REX 121



My 15v Lil Native was pretty bad out of the box. Probably just as bad as some of these being mentioned.

Whether it's considered proper or not I just gave the lock a squirt of Ballistol and spent a lazy day fidgeting with it.

Feels great now.

Here's an article that also gives some other ...

Re: Clipless Carry - Who dares ?





I go clipless on everything. They always tend to find something to snag for me.

I had enough after my Crucarta Pm2 caught a seatbelt one day and ended up on the ground opened up.


Lefty?

I run into that problem too. Some of it is the large duckbill on the end of the Spyderco (and other ...

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???


Saturday at the Hickory, NC gun show I picked up this fixed blade in ProCut and Walnut. Went with one of my coworkers, we haven’t even made it inside and he said you finally gonna buy a knife from that man and his kid?

There’s an older gentleman and his 20 something year old son, probably been ...

Re: Should Spyderco sell blades alone?


This has definitely been discussed before both here and on BF and I don't see this happening soon for the same reasons they don't sell other major parts.

Do any of the other major manufacturers sell blades as accessory? I haven't been paying attention the last few years. So maybe it's a thing now ...

Re: Price increases this year?

Re: Keeping rodents away?


Kill rats without mercy. Snap traps, hav a harts or poison. Peanut butter is the best bait. Be careful where you store chicken food and dog food. I keep my chicken food in a galvanized trash can. Rats love chicken food. I learned the hard way. Rats are extremely intelligent so be prepared to get ...
