Spyderco Forums

Yeah I understand everyone's points. I was merely curious as to why majority of people swayed towards pe blades. Perhaps I am taking for granted the fact that I can carry a military in my state. If I had a smaller blade, like on my previous delica, I would not do a ce. As of right now, I am half ...

eh, not a fan of the wings to be be honest. I actually thought about getting a pe and se military and dual carrying, but that seems a little excessive to me. My ce is perfectly capable for all of my needs.

Per your last point, many tasks that done with SE can be done with PE as well. While SE may do things quicker there isn't really anything that absolutely need it either. At least for me I'd rather not give up half the real estate so I can do something that I may encounter only few times in my life ...

The individual whose seat belt was cut with a military had no complaints or extra lacerations.

Right I understand not having a need on a daily basis. My point in carrying a ce is the off chance that I may need it. Many emergency situations would be more suitably handled with serrations, for instance, cutting a seat belt. Also, many of the tasks that I do with the pe portion of the blade ...

After being an active reader of this forum, it appears majority of the population tends to purchase pe spyders for edc. I was wondering what the hype for pe is all about. It seems to me that a ce would be more suitable for everyday needs. I currently have the ce military (the version where the ...

That's right in my area thank you for posting about that. If I get the time I may check it out.

Just as someone mentioned above, I like the thought behind it, but I would not purchase one.

I think a more appropriate (in my opinion) knife would be one that benefits the military. Say, a portion of the proceeds go to providing troops overseas with extracurricular items, candy etc...

They also have allergy injections you can get once a week. I am going to start them. My dad did them for about a year, (20 or so years ago), and even to this day his allergies are significantly better than they were. The downside is the weekly trips and costs associated. I am not sure how much it is ...

Murdoc listed dealers that you are able to purchase the knife from online for about 50% of the cost of "your" dealer. Read above.

My brother got me hooked on Spyders which indirectly led to my coming here. He was in the military and raving about spydercos and how much he and his friends find more utility and quality in the knives than other brands. I purchased my first spyder. Since this was not my first rodeo, I looked up to ...

I should rephrase what I said above, I warn people about it being sharp, but incredulously they decide to go up and down the blade anyway.

Maybe I am slightly sadistic, but I find it rather comical. The lack of common sense baffles me. What on earth did you think rubbing your finger down the blade would do? If they do not get cut, it is not sharp, if they do, then it comes as a shock.

Maybe I am just anal, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when people notice my millie, ask to see it (I love showing it off as I am sure majority of you are the same way), and they insist on touching the blade and getting their finger prints and oils all over it.

Are you guys the same way?

a folder katana for edc, (ca has no folder size limit :) )

This is a sore subject for me as well, except in the venue of guns. Obama is trying to pass a bill where you have to register any purchase over $600. It is attacking firearms subtlety, or any very expensive knife!

very impressive! That is the reason I avoided purchasing a SS, if they offered that, I would definitely be more inclined to purchase one. Great job

Creepo is correct. I noticed significantly less cosmetic damage on the millie clip compared to my delica. Regardless of that though, I still prefer the look of the clip without the black.

I live near the ocean as well. I keep the blade oiled (it is porous). Check gun cleaning supplies, many work great on knives. I make sure to clean it often. Seeing as the salt is in the air, I would recommend storing it in a drawer or somewhere less susceptible to the environment while it is not in ...
