Spyderco Forums

Ah. Ok. I just tried it and I'm back in business. Thank you!

I know I've been gone awhile (though I've been creeping) but hey, life gets in the way right? I have been back on several forums lately and tonight I got a security message on Bladeforums and it wouldn't let me on the site. Said I needed to contact an administrator. The error code was 21c8-a44e-9c77...

Hey Doc.... it didn't happen unless there's pics. So let's see some pics of the fantastic work! Oh...ps.... I'm still lurking out here!

Yep....now I have to go change my diaper! Yeah I was a little overwhelmed by the entire blade show so Ispent most of my time walking around with my mouth half open like the fat kid in Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory! I'll get over that for the next show and I really appreciate the fact that in this ...

Hello all! I know it's been awhile but I still lurk around here whenever I get the chance. I just got back from Blad a couple days ago and I wanted to say that I don't usually get all goofy about seeing "Big Name" people. My thought being that they're just people like everyone else but whe...

I've been away awhile and I have to say I've missed you guys! Just wanted to post and say, "Hello!" and brag that I just bought my tickets to the Blade Show and I hope to run into some people I know but have never met. Guess we'll see!

Ok...I've enjoyed my strop but I think I may need to upgrade listening to you guys. I have a strop and I use the green jewelers rouge. I seem to get a decently polished edge but I've never been able to get that hair whittling sharpness. IS the rouge just to all purpose? Do I need to go to finer and ...

I wouldn't wait. If one portion isn't as sahrp as you like it, then clean the edge up. I could be that the curved part did get duller faster because that's what you use more or that got used one something that was ahrder on the edge. Put your own edge on it and it shouldn't be an issue. If the facto...

Barring some sort of defect (which is doubtful) in a portion of the blade grind, the thing I noticed in similar situations is that I tend to roll the knife in my hand when I get to acertain point, thus changing where the sharpening media hits the blade. Though mine is usually the opposite, the curve...

There are those here who would say that scuffing up the black coating is just an excuse to strip it off and do some customizing. Some people can't leave anything alone....

I think Half Sack has it right, or at least that's the way I see it thus far. I'm going to have to do more research.

I know I'm ok as far as state law goes but when state and Feceral law conflict I just don't know. I haven't seen the Federal law in it's entirety yet. I'd hate to get stopped and find that I'm clear in the state and then get a visit from the FBI or something dumb like that.

I don't know about the Samaritan but I do know that Citadel is an absolutely perfect fit to my hand! The ergonomics are amazing and that knife feels like I could do ANYTHING with it and not worry about losing the grip. I thought knife ergos were pretty simple but this one shows me a lot of thought g...

The more I'm looking I see that the Switchblade Law has been amended some but I haven't checked it all. My CCWP specifically lists switchblade as a weapon it permits so I THINK I'm ok.

Well it's that dang little paper they put in with them as sort of a disclaimer. It quotes some of the law but obviously not the whole law (probably be a book if it did) and it makes it sound that simple. At the end of the day, my CCW permits specifically states switchblades so I think I'm ok.

By Federal standards that I read even auto assist openers or the same as auto openers. Truth is, even a knife with a thumb assist without any other sort of spring is considered an auto knife. That's why I'm thinking there's GOT to be more to it right?

No, but I'd hate to be carrying the thing and open it up to use it and have some Civvy call the cops and end up with a Federal charge I didn't know I could get. I ain't one of them thar law breakers :rolleyes:

Just bought a Citadel and I knwo that as far as State law is concerned I'm good. Concealed Carry permit holder and Law Enforcement but the included paperwork on the Federal law seems to say I'm not ok if I'm not missing an arm or a member of the military. Anyone have any info? I don't want to be ill...

The Smaller one

Well now it's got me scared..... I am a legal concealed carry permit holder and it covers auto knives in my permit to carry and I am able to buy them from authorized dealers as a member of Law Enforcement but now that I read the Federal Law it seems to say that unless I'm MILITARY I can't even own o...
