Spyderco Forums

Cool... obviously it's tough, but the tire does give around it. My boss had her head ran over by a car once and she's fine. :D

It's all about distribution of weight. the truck touches the ground at 4 points, each of those 4 points is fairly large. thus the weight is ...

There was a thread a while back on bladeforums of someone who used a manix 2 to defend himself from a mugger, successfully too!

isn't vg-10 stainless?

Ok i just watched the episode and based on my extensive googling i'm goign to say it's a Fox Knives Karambit. Both are waved and have a tear drop shaped opening hole.

There's another show based on La Femme Nikita? the series from the 90s isn't enough? The 2 or 3 movies weren't enough?

If you can say about when it was in the show i might be able to get a screenshot of it.

That is a second run CTS-XHP Manix 2. I got that online last week but it had a manufacturing defect. I brought it with me so they could take care of it while i was at the SFO.

no, they are usually more expensive than street prices. they don't want to compete with regular dealers.

I have a sharpmaker, it does a fantastic job of keeping the edge on my knives including the delica.

Spyderco is doing a special order for EDC Forums for the 2010 forum knife. I believe they required a minimum order of 600.

While waiting for my manix's repair I saw too many shiny things at the SFO and went a wee bit overboard.

Ti Military
Perrin PPT
Balance
Delica 4 Combo Edge(got it free with the Balance, thanks guys)
Spyderco Bug USB flash drive
and a lovely bag to carry them all!

Well i took it to the SFO and they took care of it right away. it's razor sharp now. i also spent way too much while i was there. balance, perrin ppt, Ti millie, bug flash drive and a free combo edge delica 4 for buying the balance. I'll setup pics in another thread once i get to my hotel.

cool, thanks.

What's an MBC?

Get him a waved delica, that way he won't have to use his thumb to open it.

this one really shows how the edge was messed up, you can see how it's cutting edge was ground ...

Just spoke to spyderco CS, they said they would take care of me when i go to the SFO. So i'll get some pics of the edge for you guys and let you know next week how the trip to the SFO went!

I'll see what i can do when i get home. I don't have my camera with me.

I just got off the phone with their customer service. Because of the limited availability of it they can't promise me a replacement but they did offer a refund. they did say if i try to sharpen it myself i can't return it.

However i am taking a trip to denver next week. I may leave it as is and ...

I got it from Knife Center. I'm out of luck if they are out of stock so i think i'll try sharpening it before i go the customer service route.
