I really appreciate Joe's post. I'd never thought about different angles for different steels. His overall approach seems to make great sense. One question, how are you getting the different angles? My 203 only holds the stones at one angle. Does the 204 offer both 30 and 40 degrees? Does Joe have a...

In Case Anyone Knows of a Limp Touche
I know this is a Spyderco forum, but Java suggested this might be of general interest. Mine is the basic black plastic model and I've used it steadily since I first bought it. I didn't have to worry about it falling out and getting lost as apparently so many did. Since I'm left handed, I had just ru...

Nice design, to say the least! Some real world considerations however. As was the experience of someone posting from Massachusetts a little while ago, the results in a lot of the US, (and probably elsewhere around the world), of having a really nice knife bigger than a Cracker Jack prize is that it ...

Auto accidents are the most common emergency we're likely to have to deal with. In terms of a small tool you could always have with you there's one other possible task that might need solving. That's being able to break through glass. Either to get yourself and loved ones out following an accident o...

When I use a tool, I want my hand to be able to operate without my having to look at it to see what's going on. I have substantial damage to my nervous system. Therefore, I am less able to tell where my fingers are without looking than most people. As I was absent mindedly opening and closing the Re...

The remaining question is: if the handle is below the belt, how do you get it out? In the pocket there's enough space to grab the clip and handle with your thumb and forefinger the same as the original clip. When carried at the small of the back, what seems to work best is to slide your hand down al...

Oooooh! Nice picture. What are you using for a camera and how did you include it in your post? Does that mean there's an easy way to put more than two pictures in one post? I'm planning on posting some pictures of how I modified my Rescue and was going to do multiple posts to get past the two pictur...

American Netsuke
Netsuke, ("the most popular pronunciation is net-ski, while the actual Japanese is closer to net-skeh)", is a Japanese artform. Early netsuke could be as large as 15cm/6". More recent is typically about 5cm/2". It started as a practical object, but evolved over time into small wo...

Very much a lefty, as a heavy-handed doctor tore the nerves to my right arm at birth. I started with a Mariner whenever they first came out. (mid '80's?) First thing I did was get the proper metric drill and tap to move the clip to where I wanted it. (opposite side, opposite end) Put black heatshrin...

Sorry, I guess I'm the one Philistine here. I'm just into tools, the handier the better. Lathes are fine, you just can't carry one with you. Started with a Victorinox Tinker, quickly followed by a Super Tinker over thirty years ago. I always modify, (hopefully improve), my EDC tools. On the Tinker t...

Fifteen or more years ago, I ran into a rep for Spyderco at a SHOT Show or somesuch. I noticed he tested a knife's edge by taking a piece of plain paper and placed the knife edge at right angles to the paper edge and then cut curly cues across the paper with _no_ sawing motion whatsoever. Just slid ...
