I went from channel lock to knipex four years ago and will never go back

That's extremely interesting because for many years I've had nothing but ChannelLock and SK pliers and I've just had the best luck with both brands of pliers. But if this brand "knipex" is even better I've just got to see ...

There is knothing like a Knipex!

My largest pair below is more than a decade old. My smallest pair is for pocket EDC. These things work incredibly well. Expensive but worth it.

Is the seller named "Spyderco" on Amazon a reputable dealer and a safe place to buy from?

Thanks

I'll make this easy. A G10 Military, or G10/Titanium Military, with any knife that has TIP UP capability.

Spiderwa,

I didn't see Spyderco on a list of attendees as of August. I sure hope they will be there.

Anyone know?

Deacon,

I completely agree with your points about the definition of normalcy.
My R2 doesn't have an extremely large amount of play but it does have more than any of my other Spyderco's - even my older, well used, ones. That, coupled with the fact that I can see the pivot moving slightly back and ...

I had tried various degrees of tightness on the blade pivot screw to no avail. To have any affect at all on the vertical blade play the pivot screw would be so tight that the blade would be VERY difficult to open. It seems like the hole the pivot goes through must be oversized allowing the pivot pin ...

I just got my new R2. It is beautiful. Distinctive. Fits the hand well. I like the clipped tip. The blade is perfectly centered. No horizontal blade play. Flat ground. Very nice.

Be careful not to use excessive force when sharpening with these. You don't want to remove the diamonds from their binding substrate.

My FRN CPM440V Native (6 months old) does not rise up at all - absolutely none - even with much pressure.

Moderately-worn-denim-blue-jeans colored would be PERFECT! I am ready to buy.

Thanks guys. My Native and I are on my way. SKS, I will check HOK and watch for you on the street.

Hello Canadian friends. I will be travelling from the states and have 2 questions.



1) Can you recommend any dealers in Vancouver or North Vancouver with good selections of Spydercos?



2) What are the carry laws? Will I have any problem carrying my Native in my pocket?



Thanks

Jazzman, did you experience any finger pinching when opening/closing? Other reviews have mentioned this.
Thanks,
