Spyderco Forums

If you look at Larrin's charts there are vast differences in toughness and edge-holding. Few ever see the charts. Few understand the charts. Few care about the charts. Few can relate to the differences or are willing to pay for them.

Customers just want cheap knives because they think that they ...

Ankerson and Naperville and all, do you think there are people who are not deep steel affis like us but who are not at the other extreme of not knowing the difference between a Spyderco vs a gas station knife?

Example, a middle ground where they know a good brand like Spyderco Buck or Cold Steel ...

Not everyone will have the same interests and or likes and dislikes.

It's like ice cream flavors, not everyone will like the same one

Ginger or Mary Ann?

People have different interests.

I know some people who are wildly passionate about their favorite football or baseball teams. I couldn't care less. And some of those people probably cannot understand how anybody wouldn't share their same level of interest in those sports.

I know many of you have correctly said there is no true universal knife design because cutting tasks are often specialized.

But are there timeless knife designs that would be used at any time and any place any in any culture?



Well..

It would be hard to find things that a basic drop point ...

easier to reforge in the wilderness and homestead and local villages, only needing basic blacksmithing tools and fire.



This is the only point I find relevant from such statements. Simple carbon is one of the few steels that are easy to manipulate with only rudimentary tooling. With nothing ...

There is a video on Youtube in which the narrator shows illustrated images of Fur Trade, Colonial, Frontier, and Old West hand made carbon steel knives and proceeds to give a list of reasons as to why those old Pre Stainless and Pre Industrial knives were superior to our modern industrially made ...

Yup, I do.

Arrived today from RMK and sold, out the door today.

No pathetic nickeling and ...

Dunno bout ya'll but I can buy an entire chicken for the cost of 6 wings eating out. sure it takes a little time to season it and cook it, but I just can't bring myself to pay more for a few small fried wings than a whole oven roasted bird.

I like Papa Johns roasted wings the best, I get them without sauce.
