Re: Spyderco Street Beat Review

Thanks for a most insightful review, photos and comments.

I have the old-style sheath .... Spyderco, would you sell me the new style sheath and would it fit my older, non-LW SB?

Re: Jerry Brouwer review

For my part, the Brouwer is more like a Strider PT with a round Spydie hole and at half the price.

I interviewed him several times. He was an honest and forthright gentleman. He will be missed.

Re: New Brouwer offering?

I've been looking forward to the Brouwer.
The dealer specs don't give blade size yet.
The price is higher than I had hoped and I'm not sure I'll be able to warm up to that forest green scale.
That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing and, hopefully, owning this.

Re: Techno vs Techno 2

How would anyone know at this date whether a forthcoming model has a carbonized lockface or not?

Re: Replacement bearings for the Southard or other flippers?

Thanks, folks.

I agree about the need for an improved replacement bearing -- I wish we could get an answer from Spydie.

Re: Replacement bearings for the Southard or other flippers?

No offense to Spydie, but I am hoping to find better replacement bearings than what I already have in the Southard and their other flippers.

Replacement bearings for the Southard or other flippers?

Does anyone have access to better replacement bearings for the Southard or other flippers?

I corresponded with someone on the forum about this months ago but, sadly, have lost track of the gentleman.

Thank you -- I would love to see any photos that illustrate the beveling or chamfering.

Are the Chaparrals chamfered?

This review says the FRN Chap has chamfered edges. I have two CF Chaps (the S30V and the XHP; love these CF Chaps.) Neither of mine is chamfereed as far as I can tell. Are yours? Here's the link to the bladerreviews observations: "This is a very thin-handled knife, and thin handles don’t always...

Re: P3 S90V CF

Let me explain further -- I have a Sage 5 that I like. And a standard Para 3 that I like, in part because of the wonderfully grippy G-10 scales. I saw a review on YT that went on and on about how wonderful the CF was on his CF Para 3. This made me wonder how the CF on the Para 3 compares with the CF...
