My Para 2 Magnacut showed up a couple weeks ago from my favorite knife retailer in Canada. I was on an email notification for when it was instock. Checking my emails several times a day paid off! The milled handle actually feels great in the hand. I'm liking the Magnacut steel so far. So far it's ge...

I do like that green colour! Hopefully Spyderco will release a Para 2, 3 and or Manix in that colour.

I used Rit Dye, Racing Red, my first Rit Dye mods. I also used the Rit Dye Fixative bath to lock in the colour. However the solution became slightly reddish and I lost the fade to yellow on the handles on my Salts. I also did a grey G10 Jester that didn't turn out as red as I wanted.

I decided to do a RIt Dye job on the the Rex 45. I got the idea from RustyIron and used the Racing Red. The FRCP is definitely harder to change colour and this was my first Rit Dye attempt. I used a hot water bath and added some vinegar and soaked it for 20min. I had previously added a patina to the...

I picked up a Native 5 Salt LC200N in green a while ago and finally took it out fishing on our local river. We fish for Chinook Salmon and previous years I had used a variety of Spydercos to clean the fish. Last year I was using the Fish Hunter. I had thought the Native would have difficulty in usin...

I found a blue one and I was able to buy it!

You are totally right! It's carbon fibre and I got mixed up with the description I will edit the original post.

Thanks

I just got my Para 2 SMKW Lava Flow. I must admit it's even nicer in the hand when compared to the pics. I was unsure about smooth Carbon Fibre scales ( initially I posted they were G10 ) but I like them and they have a great feel in the hand. Very cool the way it changes colors depending on the ang...

I use the Stretch and Gayle Bradley. The GB is almost as strong as fixed blade. I used the GB to cut a moose sternum open while using both hands on the handle. Not many folders could do that..

Found a big Morel the other day.

For when we go out to our local sushi restaurant, some of the rolls are quite large. My wife uses her Dragonfly Salt, doesn't even get a second glance from the waitress. The razor sharp edge works great!

I just received my Spyderco Ark that I bought online. It is smaller than I thought but it will be a handy blade. The retention of the knife in the sheath was a bit less than I preferred. To improve it, I put a small dab of "Shoe Goo" on the inside of the sheath (both sides) on the nub that...

I've had mine for a month now and it has pushed my Para 2 out of my pocket ( note: I'm very fond of my Para 2). I edc the Yojimbo 2 and have found the blade shape to be very useful. Easy to sharpen and it takes very keen edge. I have used it for a variety of tasks from vehicle repair (trimming plast...

Mine just showed up today in the mail. Great little knife, I like the liners and nice lock up of the blade. Very sharp out of the box. It will definitely replace my Ladybug in my pocket .

I received mine in Canada from W&W. No issues with it, smooth opening and sharp blade. I really like the size, just a bit bigger than the Dragonfly and the handle allows for a 4 finger grip. Nice thin blade, sturdy handle with the liners. It has a better feel in the hand than the Delica. Definit...

I got mine the other day, my 3rd DF. By far the sharpest out of the box, it could whittle a hair. I like it a lot, my 3rd H1 Spydie.

We returned from a successful moose hunt, harvesting two moose between our group of 4 hunters. The GB worked very well for cleaning/skinning the moose. No issue with a slippery handle despite being covered in blood. The secure lock is very nice and gives confidence when making full power cuts ( ie t...

Finally had a chance to put the GB to use for dressing a mule deer we got hunting yesterday. It worked very well for the task at hand. The strong lock made it feel as secure as a fixed blade for cutting the sternum. The handle wasn't too slippery and the curve of the blade worked well for skinning. ...

Catching a few Sockeye salmon these last few days on the Fraser River, BC. Using my Salt 1 to clean the fish... Works well, great fishing knife.

I would definitely get one in Orange G10. I've use my Paramilitary with G10 cleaning large salmon at the river and was impressed by the grip with wet hands.
