I can't answer any of your questions except:

... 3) assuming the stop pin is the way to go, where does one even get stop pins?

And it's not my answer, it's from Michael Janich:

There's a brand of knife (not Spyderco) that uses unhardened stop pins that have a tendency to develop flat spots over ...

Bumping this old thread because the satin finish version is coming soon:

$206, drops on Feb 18. (That's tomorrow as I write this.)

My favorite bread for grilled cheese sandwiches is a loaf of French bread from the day-old rack in the bakery at the local grocery store. Since it's getting toasted, it doesn't have to be fresh. This is the bread that's about 2" x 4" and is sliced fairly thick. (Or even better, isn't sliced at all ...

I'd like a recommendation for a 3.5 to 4.5 inch 9mm. It must have a real safety ( I already have Glocks and don't consider this a real safety) . 10 round minimum with 15 preferred.

Under $600.



One that I've been looking at is the Girsan clone of the Browning Hi-Power/FN P35. Specifically, the ...

On knives I carry for outdoor activities that aren't already hi-viz (e.g., a Salt with yellow handle), I put a loop of blaze orange paracord through the lanyard hole to make it easier to find the knife when I inevitably drop it in the underbrush. So I do use the lanyard hole some times.

This shows all the current production and many out of production fixed blades:

This should at least have text info on all fixed blades, including all out of production models:

Almost always tip-down. The only tip-up knife I carry regularly is a drop-point UKPK. And that's purely an "around the house" knife where I have easy access to other cutting tools. All my EDC knives are tip-down.

I have almost 30 years of muscle memory from carrying tip-down knives, and I don't see ...

Is it just the photo/camera angle, or is the pivot on the D2 Tenacious (with the crazy anodizing) bigger than the pivot on the other Tenacious?

Can you read the dates on the front (by the eagle/shield)? If it's "1865 - 1915" then it may be related to the 50-year anniversary of the end of the US Civil War.

The back looks like it's commemorating the merger of two groups, (I?)LDA and MSA, in 1910. (That doesn't mean the fob was made in 1910 ...

None. I got a couple Byrd models in 2019, but the last Spyderco purchase was in 2018.

If the Salt (Magnacut) PM2 ships in 2024, I'll probably get that in the coming year.

It's sold out now, but Heinnie Haynes (UK dealer) did their dealer exclusive in S30/red G10 with drop point blade:

As I recall, it sold out pretty fast. (So did the leaf blade version.) So there apparently is demand for the drop ...

Your clips are on the wrong end. :shush



Nope. That's how they came from the factory.

EDIT: I may be wrong about that... It's been so long (2012) since I got the last Delica, I could be confusing the Delicas with ...

Quick phone pic scaled down in size to make it forum friendly:

I have several Delica, but these days I mostly carry a Byrd Harrier2 to fill that size/role.

The Harrier handle is a tiny bit longer than a Delica (by about 1/16") but the blade and edge are much longer (by about 3/8"). So for very little increase in handle size, you get quite a bit more blade/edge ...

I have found the best way to search the spyderco.com product listings is to use the SKU prefix. e.g., for Paramilitary (1 and 2) variants, search for "c81". (This won't return any Para3 variants, since those all start with "c223".) Or for Manix variants, search for "c101".

Back in the 1970s, my mom started making a loaf style cake for the holidays. It's not a family recipe or anything like that, she got it from (I think) the label on the can of pumpkin puree that goes into the cake.

This woman's food photography is much better than mine, and she has a close variation ...

It is "turkey day" after all...

Right now, a super simple maple bourbon smash. (1 part maple syrup, 1 part OJ, 2 parts bourbon -- Wild Turkey 81 in this case.)

And I've got a new bottle of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit single barrel bourbon that will get opened after ...

Thought of another one: There used to be a store in Kirkland called "Epicurean Edge" that primarily had chef's knives, but also had some "tactical" knives. I just looked them up, and it appears that they've moved to Seattle. I haven't been to the Seattle location, so I can't say what kind of stock ...

I'm in western WA (King County). I don't know of any actual knife stores. There used to be some knife stores (House of Cutlery, etc.) in malls, but those all closed many years ago.

The big outdoor stores (Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops, Sportsman's Warehouse, REI) have some knives. I think they all carry ...

If there are high-altitude blasts, the resulting EMP will likely destroy your iPhone. Are you doing anything to mitigate the effect of an EMP?



I believe NORAD is tasked with tracking missiles and transmitting warnings before a nuke strike. FWIW, I do have a ham radio and an AM/FM radio ...
