Hey Samo, Long time no see!

You're able to get knives in the country no probs? I ordered a couple throwing knives and it was a major drama. Glad to hear you've got a system.

Recently I watched Imposter (based on a Phillip K. Dick novel like "Bladerunner&quot<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and The Heist. Both looked to have Spidy's in them. Anyone want to correct me?

Now this was a few months back but I walked into Starbucks and a guy comes up to me and asks, "is that a Chinook in your pocket?" Now nobody notices my Chinook or my Recon. I sat down and met Samo and friend. We chatted and then he showed me his collection.

Samo, when are we doing something here ...

Amen bro,
It was 20 years ago when 2 guys jumped my girlfriend and I; they had knives, I didn't. I'm no expert but it was the time ...

Ok, I know some of you folks are tired of me and my Cold Steel Recon 2 Tanto but the lock (rolling) is just the slickest thing around. I can snap it open with the slightest wrist flick and it's not going to close (I think) unless I put it in a vise and pound it with 50 lb sledge hammer. Sal, have ...

As an addendum, I went back a second time and started from scratch. This time, using only the 30 degree for both, I managed to get a much sharper edge. My Chinook leaves stubble but that's as good as it came out of the box if not a bit better. My Recon shaves my skin smoothly again, just like out of ...

BTW Clay, I see we feel the same about coffee:

I have a Gaggie espresso machine in my office. I make better cappucino than the "big boys".

Thanks for the big hello. I'll try again this weekend when I have time. If I chould get the Chinook close in sharpness to my Cold Steel (bad word here?) Recon 2 I'd be happy. The Recon has a thinner blade so it's easier to make sharper and I could shave my arm with it right out of the box. It was ...

Thank you very much for that. I'm sharpening it at 30 from now on. My first attempt at the triangle sharpener was slightly passable. I put a bit more edge back than what there was but it was nothing to crow about. I just hope I don't wear out my Chinook before I get the hang of it.

Again, thanks ...

I just got the Spyderco Triangle Sharp-maker and notice that my Chinook seems to have a 30 degree bevel not 40 degrees. In the video (I was in a hurry last night) I think Mr. Sal said something about the Spiderco knives being a little different.



Should I be sharpening my Chinook using the 30 ...

I paid $RM 640, not too bad. He just had it laying there in the case.

Hey guys!
Don't know if you're still following this thread but I just picked up my Spyderco Chinook from Eddys today. If you're ever going to be around the Bangsar area on a Sunday or Monday let me know. We can get together and talk knives. One of the other Chiropractors here in town used to be a ...

Tactical folder: Spyderco Chinook

Just bought it. It was a choice of it or the Cold Steel Recon. The Recon did a better job of shaving my arm but the feel of the Chinook just couldn't be beat.
