Good time to BUY. I picked up around 100 awesome Canadian knives built by Canadian craftsmen. Sad to say they are all closing down now.
I don't get it? :confused: :confused:

Re: Knives going out of stock in Canada?

Condolences to all Canadians. That period had a real impact on my enthusiasm for knives. Looking online at all the knives I couldn't have gave me the sh*ts so I stopped looking. Given the attitude toward knives at the time, I stopped carrying altogether. Thanks man, you've hit the nail on the head,...

Re: Chaparral FRN or Raffir Noble?

Not sure this will help you. I have the Raffir,I don't use it because its too pretty ;) I also have the CF Chaparral which I now use instead of the Raffir. If I had the LW Chaparral, I would use it, instead of the CF I'm a very sick puppy! :p

Re: 2017 - Lightweight/FRN Chaparral

I've been carrying my CF for years and the new FRN version just can't find it's way into rotation. In the end I just prefer the feel of the CF. When I bought it it was roughly the same price as the new FRN version. But the now $40 difference is staggering. I know what your saying regarding the cost...

Re: 2017 - Lightweight/FRN Chaparral

Ended up with the Chappie, and very pleased with it. Design and execution are first-rate, I believe I found my perfect EDC. My DF2 feels like a big mini-knife, the Chappie feels like the smallest possible regular sized knife (exactly what I wanted), and the Delica I held in store felt like a regula...

Re: Calling all Canadians - Canadian knife discussion

I was thinking if Spyderco could have a look at the now discontinued Benchmade Benchmite and work on similar mechanics. Make a 4" handel with a 3" blade for a start this might pass inspection. I don't want to link to any of the google pic's but have a look. "Benchmade Benchmite With B...

Re: Caly 3 HAP40 dropped

Now that I have the caly, I'm not sure what to do with the native or sage. Can't picture myself reaching for them instead. Don't worry about the Native or Sage, there also keepers. We knife boys are a wee bit fickle, Your most liked knife today is the Caly. There comes days that feel like Hey lets ...

Re: Calling all Canadians - Canadian knife discussion

I have to say, I'm really not enthused about my knives right now. I feel like I'm going to be stuck with a whole lot of money's worth of things I can't legally enjoy, including my prized Delica wharnies. Even the UKPKs, if they can be Spyderco dropped. Only ones okay are Spy-DK and Pingo. I don't r...

Re: CBSA going after flipper type opening

I will not travel without my Spydercos, so until this changes, I'm no longer going to Canada. What a mess! I guess that works both ways Brian ;) I won't be able to take a trip to the USA with my Spyderco's and return to Canada with them. :( Not even if I carry one of my many UKPK'S its a real BUMMER!

Re: Caly 3 HAP40 dropped

It would be sweet to see the Caly 3 back in regular production...but I’m not sure if that will happen again or not? I'm thinking the Caly 3 is one of Spyderco's gems for sure. Although, with brilliant merchandising of different steels and handle material's running them on a Sprint run there virtual...

Re: Caly 3 HAP40 dropped

I am going to bite the bullet and start customizing mine to my grip and throw the possibility of collectability out the window. Planning to round off the G-10 all around as well as the spine of the blade. I am really tempted to polish the contact surfaces of the tang as well, but it already seems s...

Re: Caly 3 HAP40 dropped

I have to agree about the cladding. I was hoping the blade was pure HAP40. Just like my Super Blue Caly 3.5

Re: CBSA going after flipper type opening

I just came to the party late. This is just CBSA at this point correct? I should still be able to carry a Spyderco, Benchmade and other brands legally if stopped by our local police or RCMP?
