Spyderco Forums

I am not fond of ball locks either yet will purchase one before they are discontinued as something to add to my collection only.

Location, location, location coupled with local mentality can either be a breeding ground for sheep or a place were carrying a knife can be seen as “tools” without people frightened for their safety. My philosophy has been to educate people I come in contact with kind like the frog slowly boiling…bu...

Kevin this is Michaels last posting on this forum regarding training he offers, I suggest you contact him directly for futher information...he is a really nice guy and from what I've heard an excellent trainer...Hope this helps......Doc :D On 22-23 October 2005, Michael Janich will be conducting a ...

Is there any defensive knife training still available through Spyderco. I remember Michael J. was heading this up sometime ago. Been away for sometime and now do not see anything mentioned here about it.

Okay I contacted Vess and we got things going on a horizontal sheath. He said it would take one week at which time he would send me photos for my approval followed by paying for it. I have to say he is excellent fellow to work with. Next month I plan on ordering a vertical sheath from him. My reason...

[quote="smcfalls13"]I have yet to find anyone that will train with me. Not exactly the most pleasant experience for the trainer. A little ramp rash and they start whining ] I can never understand how someone can not forgo a little ramp rash when their life may depend on know how or not how...

Aloha Gallaghe, Do you remember the first appearance of the Gunting known as the REKAT Escalator? God bless :cool: No I don't but funny you mention that, this weekend at Blade West a vendor had a Spyderco which looked very very similar to the Gunting. He said many people mistake it for a Gunting, t...

You mentioned you found a drone at NGK, by that do you mean the Red one? THAT is the trainer... ]

To me a "red one" is a training knife although I called it a trainer/drone. Sorry for the use of words to mislead.

Excellent news!!! I am ready for two live Endura and two trainers.

Would be nice to have a Police model with clip holes for left-handed carry thinking of what has been done with these folders. Been wanting to carry the Police left-handed...missed the run done several years ago.

[quote="smcfalls13"]See the other thread for info about the Trainer and videos. I'm curious though, was the Gunting you got off Ebay an S30V PE? If so, you got extremely lucky, because I watch Ebay carefully when it comes to Guntings, and if an S30V PE slipped under my radar, I'm going to ...

Best sheath for the Gunting in my opinion. Not too expensive either.

I love the sheath but do not care for the method it attaches to a belt, at least in my case, I wear a thick gun belt which when attempting this style would not fit the belt thickness.

Just run a google search for "Gunting trainer" and you'll come up with more than dozen sites that still show it on their sites. I find it highly likely that they are still in stock too, as most people aren't buying the trainers, they're just looking for liveblades. http://www.newgraham.co...

Thanks for the information.

Last month I purchased one for $137 on eBay along with one today at Blade West for $100. The one I purchased today has a serial number of 798 and the ramp is a touch different then the one without the serial number.

Now need to hunt down a trainer/drone and training tapes/dvd.

I went to the show today. Someone told me the price per table would be (or is) $450. Was hoping for Spyderco and Emerson tables but neither were there. There was plenty of Spydercos there, some unusual ones which I never saw in the catalog for the past 3 or 4 years. Happen to pick up a PE Gunting wi...

I am searching for the discontinued Gunting trainer/drone and also the video training tape(s).

Any help would be appriciated...Thanks!

Last month I purchase a Gunting, had no serial number on the blade. Purchased another one today which had a serial number '798'.

Can anyone tell me what is up with this?

Boy those dang r's just slipped thier way in without me seeing them :-) Thanks for getting back with the information. I will talk this over with Jim but can guess his reply beings that we are both gun people and Canada is how it is with firearms. Concerning www.CSSDSC.com www.warriornorth.bigstep.co...

I was at the annual Oregon Knife show last weekend and was talking with two fellows who I believe said that they did training for the Grunting (one active and one retired LEO). Seem to have lost their business card, would anyone here know of trainers in Washington State? If so I need their phone num...

As already mentioned, "get training", make sure the training includes fighting on the ground because many times the fight will quickly become a ground fight. Also document all training recieved in the event you do end up using the knife for self-defense. I highly suggest a trainer which ma...
