Re: Caly3 HAP40 Green G10 Sprint Run

So I've had my pre-order for this in with Knife Center for 9 months!
They say it is discontinued now.
Should I give up on them getting this to me?
Thanks.
Just wondering about future pre orders
because if they can't honor this order what about the Para3 in S90V and CF?

I just got the Manix2 Moonglow EDC 1st edition (opaque) off ebay. Been wanting one for years now!
Why does this one NOT have a number on the blade when they were all made for EDC forum?
My son looked at it quite carefully and is certain it is not a fake.

Rockwell hardness scale

Why doesn't Spyderco include this (the rockwell hardness) in the description of different types of steel they use?

For what it's worth I really like the finger choil with jimping in the design. Instead of a Salt 1 or Delica I'd go with the Dragonfly2 in H1. Smaller than all the other knives mentioned so far. More affordable too. Can't go wrong with the Native 5. Worth the extra $ just for saying Golden, ColoRADo...

If I could afford it I'd get the Sungold New! American made Slo-Speed Knife Sharpener $575. I am not however a professional knife sharpener which that machine is ideally suited for. I'd choose the Work shop WSKTS at a tenth of that price. Gonna get me one soon as Smiths is problematic with their cla...

Compression lock A+. It's why my next spydie will be the superleaf. After the Meercat of course which has a unique locking mechanism and is the reason I want one. The Roller Ball lock is nice too though I saw a case where the cage broke. I am not a fan of liner/frame locks and will continue to avoid...

You can shake it loose when it's closed? I just shook mine pretty hard for about 10-15 seconds and it didn't move...I'm sure if I really gave it my all it might, but I wouldn't think that it should shake loose very easily at all. Yes. Without touching the blade or the ball lock cage at all I can *f...

I'm at about 5 a day. Got me the electronic green smoke last fall. I use it indoors at parties and concerts. Only nicotine NO TAR or other carcinogens. And flavored. Much better than the tabacco or menthol flavor. Mocha in the morning. Apple or strawberry in the evening. Now to cut out the American ...

I just caught sight of one on the 3rd episode of The River.
The camera man crawls under the tree and deploys it to harvest the bulbs.
The best shot of the knife has it in his mouth.
Looks like an older model as the clip is molded with the handle.
It's at 34:57+- HULU time

Mine has a little play when closed too.
I just checked and I can even just *shake* it fully open when fully closed!
Unlike my Para 2 which won't.
