What are the chances of a Lockback Tenacious?

I don't really like the SOG Flash. I got one for my dad a little while back, and it just doesn't feel... right. I dunno. Not really my kinda knife.
I agree with everyone else. Delica or a Pacific Salt. I got my dad a Pac Salt shortly after I got him the Flash, and he carries the Salt exclusively now ...

Butterknife has been a gamertag of mine for the last three or four years now. It came from a joke between a bunch of friends and I. We were playing Counter Strike, and after some humiliating deaths at the hands of some very very good players, someone made the comment about how getting killed like ...

Spyderco knives have ruined me on other folders. I look at one of those knives with bumps or thumb studs or thumb buttons, and it just completely destroys the aesthetic of the blade. The only other folders I can get behind anymore are Case knives, or victorinox knives, where the blade has a notch ...

I was just curious as to why you say only he like serrated blades on the dragonfly and cricket...my dragonfly is a plain edge and I think more funtional because of it.

guys who cut a lot of synthetic materials like rope and cloth, or sometimes thick leather tend to prefer serrated edges for a ...

I got my dad a pacific salt this year. Last year I got him a SOG Flash 2. He really liked the assisted opener, but overall, I don't think the knife feels very sturdy for any kind of actual work. It's really feels more like a self defense letter opener. But I know he likes it, and because it's light ...

Dr. Snubnose is Machette? AWESOME!

I use lukewarm water and and a paper towel for most cleaning. Then lube it back up with 3-in-1 oil when it's dried out.

I have to clean out bearings and other tiny metal parts pretty often, and my go-to source of gunk remover is lighter fluid or mineral spirits (paint thinner).
I avoid rubbing ...

$9 sounds more like a light tan than a burn.

I ride with an older version of one of these. http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/hydration-packs/2010-luxe.aspx
I hike with it too. It's kind of my go-anywhere do-anything bag. You might find something similar for less. I think I paid $40 or $50 for mine. It's lasted upwards of 5 years now ...

Link here.
I dunno about you LEOs out there, but I'd think diffusing the situation before it got out of hand, and maybe keeping a few kids from going to jail would be a positive thing. Sure, it might not be a reliable way of diffusing a situation, but I think getting people to decide to do the ...

those are some absolutely brilliant shots!

The guy who taught my carry class in Arizona said he was cleaning his guns in the kitchen one afternoon while his wife was out. A friend came over and picked up the teacher's P38. Looking to test out the trigger pull in comparison to his own P38 the friend picked up the pistol and promptly shot a ...

I completely agree. Take the hairspray. Take the snow globes. Take the water bottles, and the toothpaste, and the bic razors. While we're at it, let's just make everyone travel on the plane in the nude. Because shirts and pants and belts can be made into garrotes, glasses could be made out of steel ...

eh heh... yeah. Dad learned pretty early on in his marriage not to clean the gun at the kitchen table when mom was there. Accidental fire put a big ol' mark in the table and ceiling, and a ricochet that nearly gave mom a haircut. The bullet dropped into the kitchen sink.
I swear I'm not making this ...

Tenacious, wallet, keys w/ magnesium flint stick, compass, phone, nikon d40x, becker companion, cammel back with a few bottles of water, and my iPod touch. Figured I'd go for a bike and hike yesterday over to the woods and the next town, but my knee got the better of me and decided I'd better not ...

We became a lot sicker since the neolithic era hit and sicker since all this new processed garbage hit the stores.

This is a dangerous philosophy to have, and one that's been held off and on through the ages by people who didn't know any better. Drastically fewer women and children die in ...

I've got a friend who collects pocket watches. Keeps 'em in a wall-mounted case in the living room, and has 'em hung up for all to see. If I had any sizable collection of spydercos, I'd do the same, but hang the knives up by the spider holes :D

But I only need a few knives, so all my knives are in ...

I've had my eye on a tasman salt for a little while now.
Grats on 1000!

Something tells me planes can't possibly be safe if they can get hijacked using a snow globe and a can of hairspray. And toothpaste? Oh my GOD! Someone could whiten our teeth!
Seriously. In an environment that dangerous, knives on all passengers should be mandatory.
