Funny you mentioned the Sage 2. My normal every day carry is a large lefty Sebenza. I knew I had an easy service call day at work on Friday so I just clipped my Sage 2 to my pocket and headed out to work, no leatherman or any other tools I usually carry. The service call was a complaint about silico...

I don't freak out about chips and just sharpen or touch up when the whole edge is dull. Eventually sharpening will catch up to the chips. The only real negative of a chipped blade in a working mans knife is if he gets bored and wants to slice toilet paper on YouTube.

I'm excited about it. I've been close to adding the Matriarch to the cart but don't care for the E4 handle at all, however the D4 is perfect for my hands. The serrated Tasman is my favorite Spyderco (tied with the Military) and even though the blade shapes are different I can still see the utility i...

I bought my wife a pink KaBar Dozier that she carried for a long time but rarely used. Then I bought her a Dragonfly tattoo that she never used. Recently my Orange Military has been missing from it's usual spot on my nightstand! That's cool with me though, I'm glad she's found one she likes and will...

I had a small Insingo Sebenza, currently carry a large lefty 21. The thumb stud opens with a different technique than most others that are easily flicked and is certainly no Spyder-hole. The small 21 thumb stud was easier for me to adapt to vs. the large that seems to have a wider sweeping motion (d...

Wet sanding in a bucket of water or in the sink won't create any dust in the air. I've polished g-10 several times this way. The dry g-10 will look ruined when you're done but after a few drops of oil or WD it will look the way you imagined.

Just be warned, there wont be a shining light out of heaven when you get the knife.....but use it for some time, work her and then those tolerances, pivot busing system, everything starts making sense. This was exactly my experience. I was underwelmed with my first Sebenza. I trade it after a month...
