Shoot, I'm broke as a joke but I'd pony up for a Caly 3 sprint in the same brown as the Military CTS-XHP.

That is gorgeous. Well done! I wouldn't have the nerve to start a project like that. I always wanted to see some depth work on CF. Good for you tuffthumbz.

Great job Hector Castro. I wanted to get one of those blanks, but I could have never done that with it. It's gorgeous. You should be very proud.

I am also a hoarder. I have collections of many things; Zippos, flashlights, CDs, DVDs, books, and knives. My bigger problem is that I cannot part with any of it. I actually had to get a storage unit just to keep from being buried by it. As you are mostly asking of the hoarding of Spydies (I think) ...

There is some good information here CoolFunk

Pa1- Quattrokid73 pretty much nailed it. I own both of these knives and I prefer the drop-point. I use these for light EDC tasks as I have others for heavier work. The drop gets carried more often because, honestly, 80% of my Spydies are leaf shaped and it's nice to carry something different once in...

I do have smaller knives (T-Mag). But, I also love the heft and strength of a new Chinook 3 I just got. I travel to Chicago frequently and the reduced length would be great there. Another reason is the looks of a tiny blade on a large handle. I love how it would look, and it would be funny :p http:...

In no particular order-
-Mini Persian
-Caly 3 VG-10
-Kuhkri
-Sprint Rookie
-SS Delica
That actually might be in order

I was trying to help you out. I understand that we were talking about a a bias toward closing and not some magical telekinetic closing knife. I don't like words being put in my mouth. I hope it works out for you.

I do not own the Para 2 nor have I handled one. I have seen a YT review of one already though. check out -thecajunblaze- on YouTube. He got his real early and he seems to be the only one talking. I do not think I have heard or seen anything to support the self closing theory. I'm glad too, I don't t...

BushBadger- You did a good job on this modded Persistence. I carried it yesterday. I'm not totally sure how I ended up with it, but I own this knife. I had been wondering who put in the effort. Small world, huh? Keep 'em comin'.

Hello Coolfunk286- (not going to call you daddy) - welcome to the forums. I am fairly new here as well, although I am not new to Spyderco. If I was going to recommend a knife for you to start off with it would be either a Delica or a Rookie. Neither take up too much room in the pocket or are too big...

HellHound- You might want to look into the Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter. It has the properties that you are looking for; all of them. I have owned one for three years. It is my rough and tumble tool-box knife. It is also very at home in the woods. I use it whenever I have a task for a knife that I sho...

Thanks fellas. That is all very good information. I am now a little surprised that CF is used so frequently considering it is that difficult to get a repeatable, flawless fit and finish. I've never cared much about minimizing carry weight. I always go with the "If it's too heavy, I need to get ...

Catamount- If you are only referring to Spyderco offerings then there is already good information here. If you are asking about cutlery steel in general there are a couple of things to consider. I would say the acuteness of the edge would make a bit of a difference. More importantly, pay attention t...

Rivka- Try this thread for (as of today) 234 answers to your question. Good luck with your article.

I'm sure you guys know better than me since I only own three CF Spydies. Is it normal to have chipping around the screw holes? I have never worked with CF, but I imagine that when tooling something that hard and it being layered, it is reasonable to get some flaking. I'm do not need the knife perfec...

I found a couple of NIB folding Lum Tantos this weekend. Should i have bought 'em. I haven't been looking for a tanto in years, but they do look pretty cool black on black with a Spydie hole and all.

Okay fellas, I sent all concerned a reasonably detailed PM. Please let me know if you got it because none of them showed up as sent on my end. Still getting used to forums. Also, if you end up going to this place I'd really like to know what you thought of it/came home with. So please come back to t...

I have been wondering this same thing for the past week. Good on ya for saying something about it. Hope all is well in Golden.
