Spyderco Forums

Thank, guys, I am enjoying reading all the responses!

With all this CRK talk in here, I feel I can add a bit from my own personal perspective. I was DIEHARD Spyderco for my first few years around here and probably cycled through close to 100 knives throughout that time. Really found what I liked and didn't like. Then it got to the point where I was ...

My personal favorite primary grind is FFG. I like the way it cuts, and the way it looks.

I guess my second-favorite would be HHG (high hollow grind), for obvious reasons. Such a grind usually is ground thin, cuts great, and tends to have a potentially longer sharpening life than some others.

My ...

Warning: Long rant below that nobody is going to read, but I needed to vent, anyway.

This type of mindset he's talking about is exactly why, outside of what I post in this thread, I do not discuss martial arts ...

Jim how easy or hard is it realistically for a person armed with a lockblade knife to stop a mass shooter armed with a long gun?



SEF, I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not. I have no idea. I'm not qualified to answer that, and I'm not sure anybody is.

James, this is sortof a paranormal issue:

If the USA government found real working star gates like in the SG 1 series, would they most certainly keep it a top secret and only allow highly trained individuals to operate those?



They may well already have something(s) like that, and yes, it/they ...

This is AI, but I thought it was funny, nonetheless.

I love back locks. But I also really like compression locks. Each are great, and I like each for different reasons. And then there are other great innovative locks as well.

I do not see back locks as antiquated. Many users prefer back locks as their favorite lock type. As long as this remains true ...

I also love the Seki lineup. I actually like Seki and Golden almost the same, maybe Golden a little more. However, Seki knives are outstanding workhorses for the cost, and I would never feel under-knifed with only a Seki backlock.

I also really like basic steels like VG-10. Personally, I much ...

This is 100% NOT martial arts-related, but is something that is extremely important to be aware of. If you ever hear gunshots, DO NOT stick your head up or out to try to see what's going on ...

I tend to find that my pockets are deep enough when I really want something but even I have my limits. If $427.50 is just the cost of manufacturing a Rex 121 Sage 6 then I guess it is what it is, I really like the button compression lock but it's not enough to justify the price when I already have ...

Jim After watching some of these videos and reading your posts I am seriously thinking of taking some classes.

Someone I know offered to show me some moves but the classes have mats and safety on site.

I do not want to break or sprain something, though.

Also, can I do a martial art without ...

a little off topic but check out what I found while cleaning out my parents attic:
