The Squeak is a great knife. It is very comfortable in my hand and cuts great. The blade is very thin, and the steel takes a very good edge. I havent used it enough to truly test the edge retention. This knife has replaced my ZDP Dragonfly. The wider handle, spine to choil, fills my hand better and ...

I have to say this new Squeak from my initial impressions is going to be a cutting demon. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j94/dm_gangl/DSC02435.jpg Looking at the blade it is actually right at if not thinner behind the edge then my Caly Jr. ZDP. The blade polished up very easily. Took about the sa...

Yeah other then the tip issue this knife is excellent. Extremely comfortable three finger grip that locks into your hand. The lock up is very tight. I have no blade play either. This is my first slip joint, and I am very pleased. This is my first chance to try out N690Co. If the steel performs well,...

I got my Squeak today and am very excited to use this knife. I did find one problem, and I figured I would give Spyderco a heads up. When I pulled the knife out of the box I noticed the tip of the edge was rolled. I figured no problem fixed it and I'm enjoying the knife very much. But sitting here p...

A very good point. Like the saying goes, "You never rise to the occasion, you fall back on your training"

Great choices all around. Congrats.

http://www.knivesshipfree.com/images/brkcity/City_Knife_in_City_Sheath_600.jpg Im going to have to agree with Chuck on this. The City knife is a nice looking one. You can get it in 154CM or the Essential in M4. I have also considered the streetbeat in an ankle sheath. But for a suit, IDK about an a...

As an experienced shooter. I will give this advice to any one considering buying a gun for defense. There is no "the best gun" or "best brand of gun". Go to a shooting range try out several different models and see which is more comfortable for you. @ stepping down from my soap box @ For a me agains...

Yeah I know he has and uses both. I would definitely like to know what he thinks.

Now I know how the cookie monster feels. MUST HAVE CALY!!

Im looking at getting some new stones to try out a new setup for reprofiling my knives. I have a couple of DMT stones in mind, but I'm not the most knowledgeable about DMT. The main question I have is which are better. The Dia-sharp continuous stones or the Diamond hones with the holes in the stone?...

Eh just call it your BMF. If you need to know what BMF is just watch Pulp Fiction.

Im always interested in a new steel. Id be down for a mule to start it out.

DM

Doc why would you do that to me?! Wait till after Ive spent my knife budget and post amazing looking knives.

Seriously though, looking at his website he has some great looking designs. He will be getting some business from me in the future.

It sounds like you need my setup.

I agree with SteelDragon, great to do business with. I have a C54 Calypso thanks to him.

DM

I like the lines of the knife very much. Either this knife or the Impala would be a nice knife to bring back.

Been an apocalyptica fan for quite some time. These guys are pretty good to though. Also not a big fan of apocalyptica with lyrics. Their soloist is amazing. The Album World Collide is very good.(The songs without lyrics) My favorite of the album is a toss up between Ural <iframe width="480" height...

You would like Apocalyptica. I am NOT a fan of the songs with lyrics. But luckily most of there stuff is just the four cellos and a drummer.

I also have another idea/question. I know many people had a problem with the blade warping. I wonder how a full hollow grind and swedge would work to avoid the blade warping. This would allow a thin edge and the superior slicing ability the Calypso line is known for while adding a little lateral str...
