Re: Advice for a non knife guy...

This question is somewhat subjective.

If you purchased such a knife for your friend, you obviously thought enough of them to give a quality tool. I'm sure you can convey the quality and purpose of this tool to him. Who knows, you may convert him because he's never owned a quality knife.

Re: Show your favorite Spydercos


Ok, next "collection" (Sorry longtime members for the reruns)

Don't apologize. The Caly Jr is still one of my favorite lightweight designs from Sal. I have every interaction with the exception of the experimental. Thank you for sharing them ...

Still showing availability so they aren't flying off the shelf. I still may pick one up as I've always liked the design

Re: My three favorite Spyderco folder designs


Even though I've heard great things about the Military 2 I still have a special love for the original Millie. A few years back I got a user M390 version in a trade and it turned out to be one of my top 3 best user/EDCs of all time. Now my Cruwear C-60 Ayoob gets most of my user time.

Re: Spyderco G-clip




I don't do what you described xceptnl....

This makes the knife much easier to unclip from my belt, makes the knife less likely to get hung up on things, and makes it easier to conceal ...

Re: Spyderco G-clip

My apologies for the necro thread, but it was more relevant and gives good context. I wanted to know if anyone else reverses their G-Clips? I've been carrying mine this way for a long time without realizing it was "goofy" if you catch my meaning.

I leave the elongated tab turned outward (closer to ...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought


I already had the G17 and recently bought a Sig M18. All in all I like it but I give the Glocks the preference in shooting and the Sig in carrying. The lower bore axis makes the Glock(s) point and shoot nicer and faster in my hands. If the Glocks had a manual safety like the Sig I'd likely never ...

Thank you Darby. That is the angle I really wanted. Been looking at those AWT scales for a while, this helps make up my mind. I would assume The Manix 2 & Para 2 have similar profiles?
