Tip-up is SLOWER. It is. Spyderdrop or no Spyderdrop. It's also more difficult to get the knife out of the pocket. Also, tip-DOWN is LESS SAFE. How can a knife carried tip-up open up if it's against the seam of the pocket? It can't. On the other hand, a knife carried tip-DOWN has the blade's path po...

I'm not sure that would be useful info. Once that lockbar or the lock area of the blade tang is deformed, the ghost is given up. Jim Is it failing because the bar/tang is deformed? I don't know. I doubt that being loose has anything to do with it failing, but I don't know because I haven't taken it...

Did you try the spine whacks and overstrikes after you tightened the pivot again?

I don't link any pics from my own site just from photo sharing like (Photobucket) but sometimes I'll grab a pic from some other source were it is in picture form...might even be from some other web-site...I understand what you are requesting....so my question is (as I am not really a computer geniu...

It would be great to get a lot more traffic over there. Glad you posted this.

LOL ****, those looked like kidneys or hearts or something :o

I get scared to cut food with my pocket knives unless there's somewhere close by where I can rinse it off. Also, if I've cut anything else before, I usually don't use my pocket knives on food. I should have a dedicated utensil folder.

I've never owned the Chokwe, but I'm still going to give it the nod. I got rid of my Military because it was just too big. Maybe you like that, but I thought the handle was unnecessarily large. There was a huge amount of handle sticking out of my closed hand when gripping the knife, both toward the ...

Use graphite or sharpie marker on the tang of the blade and the lock bar where it contacts the tang.

That isn't a Police 3, by the way.

I admit I'm a big fan of the Stainless models. They can be a bit high maintenance for EDC compared to the FRN and G10. I've found myself collecting the stainless models (I want them all ;) ) and end up carrying the G10 or FRN models. Hey, me too! I really like stainless handles; they make a knife s...

The thing that sold me on Spyderco knives is that they're functional. That functionality makes me carry these knives, as they help me in my intended uses. Deer aging, cutting rope, cleaning fish, ect. Anything I do outdoors I do with a Spyderco these days. If you have to clear trails from heavy gro...

Look for the DMT Diasharp series. Those plates have continuous surfaces (not perforated.) Get a DMT XC, and that should have you set for an edge repairing stone.

Why a large folder? I think it would be good to have that option. Spyderco already makes a large amount of ~3" folders of similar design, and I think they would be adding something "new" to make a larger-sized folder.

Hard to tell without pics.

I've been waiting to get one for a while, now... I've never held one, but it looks like it's going to be a great knife.

Yep, like google adsense or similar. Well I don't get ads, but a quick look at "View Page Source" shows the following code on the site: *Edited* google-analyticator/external-tracking .min.js?ver=6.1.1 !-- Google Analytics Tracking by Google Analyticator 6.1.1: http://ronaldheft.com/code/a...

Maybe. Sorry about that.

Rycen on Bladeforums has been trying to sell one for a long time, now. I believe that he is a member here, too.

The FFG ZDP-189 Delica is coming soon.

So... I like the non choil grip alot, but I don't have a way to tell if i'd like the choil grip... Does the Native5 look like it needs to be choked to hold comfortably for most people? that looks like a good fit but I don't know for sure... The Native 1 requires a choil grip because of the point in...
