Don't they remove kids' tonsils with ultrasonic scalpels nowadays?

I'm a fan of the comet hole, in some ways I prefer it to the round hole

Covid vaccine was rushed, imho. I don't blame anyone for not getting it. My wife & I were forced to get them as an "essential worker." We had the 1st shot + booster. No others since. I haven't had Covid, my wife, caught it once, very mild relatively. Don't know how much of that is attributable to ...

I've bought less BNIB blades because of higher prices in general-- before this.

Now with the tariffs, I will buy even fewer <near zero> new knives.

In my younger years I worked for a friend who fabricated + outfitted fiberglass bass boats and we went through a few economic downturns. He claimed ...

Dang! Paul made this a better place...rest in peace Deacon

Never OTR driver but did 7 years of towing. Not nearly as grueling in terms of hours on the road but it's a similar situation where you don't have a break room or bathroom and you're really on your own unless you get to stop somewhere.

My knife was used for everything from food prep if it was ...

thanks for generous GAW, congrats to winnerz

In!

Thanks for generous GAW...my favorite Spyderco, and most carried, is my Caly Jr. in zdp189

thanks,

...if you consider paying for having it done as "did" it myself, then, yes, I "did" it myself. :winking-tongue

it does help a little bit with indexing when opening...

And I can kinda rest the tippy top of my fingertips in there at other times.

So if we were to compare non-holey vs ...

Is Ultem easy to drill, sand, and trim out?

Any special considerations working with it?

I'm thinking of doing something similar as my other 2 Chaps:

pretty thick stock for a machete...of course, that doesn't preclude one for using it for other tasks...as for the stop pin-- why not make it square and have even more surface area in contact with the tang?

Thanks, I just dropped my monitor...I'll send ya the bill

Proof that "no good deed goes unpunished " :steam-nose

I got arrested today rendering aid to a guy who was stupid enough
to be smoking while filling his tank at the gas station... :exploding-head
The idiot caught his right arm ablaze when his tank overfilled and hit the lit cigar he was holding ...

Not a bladesteel, but my all-time favorite Spyderco Steel offering--

Schempp Steel...mosaic damascus in 25th Anniv. Delica Bolsters :

Go Titans! I'll check back in a couple of weeks ...

On a model that's ordinarily a two-hand opener, such as a Buck 110, automatic opening can make sense.

Autos have a fun fidget factor for some.

In all other ways, models with Spyderholes are superior, ymmv.

Go Titans!

I heard it on the radio this morning driving into work "It's raining cats and dogs out there"

I mean really, how did this ever become a thing, and WHY!? Though some obituaries would be interesting when those St Bernard's started falling!

Haven't you ever stepped in a poodle?

Tip down is preferred clip config. on big blades that have a choice of clip position-- Police & Endura-- for me. I like to carry them in the back RH pocket...just feels safer/more secure with the spine pressed against the pocket seam.

I've reached my hand down into a tip up Resilience that had ...
