Re: Cold steel tri-ad lock patent infringment????

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?

Re: I don't understand automatics.

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.

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!

Re: Spyderco Military Observations

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 p...

Re: Pochi for Self-defense?

For me it's the ideal self-defense EDC knife, allow me to elucidate...

The Pochi will likely cause less harm to me when my decrepit spindly azz <inevitably> gets disarmed by the bad guy and it gets turned against me.

Navaja Spring not ratcheting...warranty?

I've had 2 Navajas since they were new. Just pulled one out of the safe and after fidgeting with it for a minute it stopped ratcheting.

Other one is still going strong after a half hour of cycling.

Is the ratcheting device warrantied? I haven't had it apart, or even used it for that matter.

When you're hiking in the SE U.S. ... rust proof is highly desirable ... SE SpyderHawk is my constant companion IWB when trail running. Hasn't let me down, not once.
