Wouter: If those are pics you aren't really happy with, that's amazing. For myself, and probably 98+% of the other forumites here, we would be ecstatic to be able to take pics that good with the similar blue hues. They don't seem to be missing anything technically. I know that the Amsterdam show is ...

Oh Man, this is NOT gonna be a good year for my wallet! :rolleyes: First, the Dialex has a sweet grind and at 3" is a perfect carry size, the Lum's were a bit big for me. Second: the Blue Cricket looks just cool, sheeple-friendy, and I haven't had a Cricket in many years, need one back in the c...

I don't often have a use for a big knife - My Caly3 CF gets 95% of all pocket time, love the knife - but MAN the Szabo is just SWEET - Great grind, and just one mean looking motherf*****.

I'll be all over it either way, but if Spydercos' making the knife premium with the CF, might as well use the premium steel too! :cool: gg Anybody know what steel will be used in the CF Dodo, I've heard both S90V and S30V, hopefully Sal will chime in and let us know for sure. If its S90V for sure I'...

Nope, that's what they had on the site. Probably 50+ individual "Flippers". Was going to order one because I haven't had a Mili in a few years, so much for that idea. :-(

I'm currently drinking dogfish head beer, 90 minute ipa. Their motto is off-centered ales for off-centered people. I must be a bit off-centered by now. At 9% alcohol you know is some good beer. Not to mention it cost over $10 for a 4 pack. I wouldn't mind living the rest of my life in the off-cente...

Well the Tasman and Spyderhawk don't have the same exact handle as the Delica and Endura respectively, so maybe they could just modify the Dragonfly handle to accommodate the hawkbill? Or would that be too much work since it would involve the production of an entirely new FRN handle? Who's saying a...

Agreed!!!

My Caly 3 CF sees 95% of my possible pocket time. I work in an office and sometimes the warehouse, and the knife handles pretty much everything I throw at it, keeping sharp for a long time while doing it. Occasionally want something a bit bigger and sturdier with partial serrations (an old Benchmade...

Does anybody have a feeling for blade length? 3.0"? 3.25"? 3.5"? I'm hoping close to 3" to keep it somewhat socially acceptable as an EDC, as I love wharnies and WANT an excuse to buy this knife... :)

Ti Herbst 2nd value?

Hello all: I have a Ti Herbst 2nd I got back from my dad (too big) that I'm probably selling for him. NO clue on the value, though. In good to excellent condition with just a few Ti and blade scuffs, and it was a second because of too much liner movement - it moves to 1/2 to 2/3 of the way across th...

I think the Spin is going to have some company as a small EDC, though - a buddy had picked up a Lava on a trade, and although I've seen pics many times before, I've never handled one, but DAY-IM, that knife feels good in the hand for a small knife! :) I'll miss the pointy tip for coupon-clipping and...

Micro Dyad??

Also, I've never heard a thing, good or bad, about the Micro Dyad as a small carry knife. At 35% off the sale price, it seems like a steal for a black pearl beauty. Anybody have any experience with one??

Breeden Blade Length?

The Balance and the CF Chinese are must haves for me - always like the Chinese blade shape but not the coated Al scales, and the CF Balance just looks like the perfect small knife. And the maroon Shabaria too - had a original Shabby I've always regretted selling. A very non-intimidating big knife, p...
