That sounds good if they're small enough. I'll check that out today. The smallest one is tiny. I use the next biggest and it has been perfect. Never used it on a spyderco but I am going to do it this afternoon. A sharpening notch is a great idea. Just found them on the site. The smallest will be pe...

The absolute easiest way to do it (my opinion) is to go to harbor freight and get their 4 pack of cylindrical diamond dremel bits. I think the pack is just a few bucks. Before I got my customs waterjet with the notch, I'd use those bits (multiple sizes, pick your notch size easily) to cut the notch ...

They will get them out as fast as they can get them in.

Ok I'll probably do that. Thanks Jim, hope all is well!

The funny thing about that comparison is that the G-10 version of the Delica had much larger liners than the FRN version. The Para already has minimal liners, so you're not going to save nearly as much of the weight... Not nearly as much as 22% is probably nothing. Well, in all fairness they could ...

Will someone kindly make me aware of any online shop that gets these in stock? I've decided I'd like to order another.

I notice on most of my CBBL knives (S110V Manix 2 included), the lock tends to stick when it's forcefully opened. At that point, it's very difficult to unlock. But once that initial stickiness is overcome, or if the lock is slowly eased into place, it can be (relatively) easily released with one th...

Mine must be really stiff then, as that is impossible for me to do. Must have to break in more. I don't have "weak" hands either (or at least I'd like to think I don't), as I can palm a men's basketball pretty easily. Some I've had are easy and smooth to disengage, and others are really s...

It is a pretty amazing knife. I've wanted a knife just like this for a long time, I just didn't know it.

For the price, it absolutely cannot be beat in my opinion.

Have you do e business with them before ? If so how was experience ? Thanks in advance I have, GP is just about THE best knife store you can buy from. I had continuing issues with one particular knife a while back, and they let me exchange it six (that's 6) times without ever getting even slightly ...

Has anyone noticed how nicely finished the interior parts of the blade are? (locking face, profile cuts) Very smooth with almost a bead blast finish, but with none of the chatter that you normally see from the laser cutting. Overall a HIGHLY refined finish for a knife just over 100 dollars. Great jo...

Exactly. All knives were treated the exact same way...

So what is the "current verdict" on S35vn? It is used in knives ranging from customs, midtechs and on down. It has been out for some time now. Surely we would have more negative feedback from it by now... Oh that is right, only John uses his knives. Everyone else buys knives to take pictu...

To put it bluntly, he was verbally abusive and absolutely refused to hear anything I had to say. I was called every name you can think of, with the addition of every ...
