I almost constantly EDC a folder of some sort when I'm running or working out. I'm tempted to get an H1 just for working out because I'm getting tired of cleaning the rust off my favorite folders...

Native 4?

I've been thinking a lot lately since I finally got my hands on the Stretch II, what do people think of the Native 4 in CF? With all the updated models coming out from Spyderco (Stretch FRN, G10 Delica and Endura, G10 Dragonfly, etc...) there hasn't been much talk about the Native 4. Personally, I l...

Stretch 2 hands down all the way. I love the Endura 4, especially now with G10, but seriously the Stretch was designed for the discriminating knife user. I'm personally going to get a serrated version before I deploy and eventually I'll step up the ZDP version. I'm beginning to think that if I had o...

I say use it. From an afi and knife user's point of view, the whole reason I got rid of all my other production knives is that Spydercos were and are designed to be used. Some have a more specific use than others but they are all great knives. I too can't afford to collect knives, if I don't use it ...

I was not interested in this knife until I read Clovsic's review. Now, that I understand it's uses as an EDC I think I'll be getting one of these by the end of the year. One thing that turns me off a little is very thin points. Hopefully, as these become available someone will take some pics of the ...

It'll never happen. I've owned a few Strider SnGs and SMFs and I think they are some of the best built well thought out folder designs out there. That said, I like supporting a company (especially in this economy) that carries the same business philosophies as Sal and Co. Also, for a third of the pr...

I've been carrying mine since I got it last Friday. I don't see it going anywhere soon. If I carry anything else I'm probably going to end up carrying two knives (FRN Stretch+whatever else I decide to carry.) It covers just about everything I've looked for in knife ergos. I haven't had a chance to u...

Stretch madness...

So, I finally pulled the trigger on a FRN PE Stretch. It came today and it has far exceeded my expectations... I've been in love with this model since it came out in SS/Kraton. I never bought one because I'm not a big fan of SS but I did handle one to see what all the fuss was about. I'm so glad tha...

Knifecenter has them for 169.95. Just checked this morning. I think that's a very reasonable price compared to companies with similar offerings.

yablanowitz, You won't be disappointed. After talking to TazKristi and having some knowledge of running a tool and die business, I think this design has more to do with tooling and just the flat out work of making an entirely new design, than the yen exchange rate... just my two cents. The purpose o...

Vivi, thanks. My feeling on this knife is that regardless of how it fits (one's hand) or functions as a tool it will be highly cherished and sought after based on Anso's name and the design. Similar to the Ayoob or Lil' Temp. Based the quality of the build I highly doubt I'll ever part with this kni...

Rock Lobster: Initial Thoughts

Alright, I’ve been really busy lately but it’s high time I put up my review of the Rock Lobster. First, I’m surprised, that with all the hype leading up the release of this knife that there hasn’t been more feedback or reviews on the forums. I can only think that it’s for the same reasons it took me...
