Re: If you could, would you go back in time?
I'd like to go back to a time when folk had common sense at least, knew that taking experimental injections was not a good idea for example. I along with some others did try so hard to warn friends, family and work colleagues, sadly many didn't listen and are now either dead or been left with seriou...

Re:
I prefer not to have fingers in the path of a closing blade, thats my problem with liner locks. That's my way of thinking too plus liner locks just seem weedy and awkward to get at on some knives,....I'd rather it be a frame lock in that case, less fumbling and whilst in the hand, gripping the lock...

Re: If you could keep only one Spyderco, which one would it be?
The UKPK is certainly a good design and would be my second choice if the PITS hadn't have been invented.

Re: The end of the auto & gravity ban in Colorado
I dream of our UK knife laws being changed one day,....all I wish for, to be able to carry a sub 3" folding LOCKING knife without the fear of prosecution due to not having the 'correct' good reason at the time of being stopped. Not much to ask for is it? Fat chance of it happening though, laws ...

Re: If you could keep only one Spyderco, which one would it be?
This is a cruel question! Of my own collection, my PITS, I think, as it's not too small, not too big, legal carry here, and interesting. However, I would first have plenty of fun sifting through all the Spydies you all will have been made to discard, so may change my mind. It would be the PITS for ...

Re: any other Pattada fans ?
I'd like to see a non locking version with a sub 3" blade, that would make it EDC legal carry in the UK. :)

Re: Spyderco send Australian Politions A Letter
I think Spyderco should write Australian Politions a letter saying it should be legal to send there knives to this country and top of that it should be legal to own and carry a knife for self Defence at least for say an age group of over 30. What ridiculous morons these people are that you cannot c...

Re: Jimping Poll...
I didn't know which one to tick in the poll,.....I'd say that it's a combination, for example all the jimping that's on my Manix is spot on to me, different 'grades' in different areas.

I've had M2, M4, and D2 and I love them all. Tool steel kicks butt, not only because it's tool steel but because it seems to last forever and take a crazy insane edge. I gained an amazing respect for how hard certain steels are by trying to drill them. I own high speed bits that will cut stainless ...

I still think the FP scanner built in is cool and pretty advanced. Biometrics devices are only now really getting wider adoption outside of higher end and government-funded security. I'll try and look at the model and if there is a relatively easy way to do it I'll try to help. Open source software...

Roadie and PITS - now that gets the blood flowing. But I agree with the previous comment on the paperclip-please no. Love the wire clip. I think the first knife that I bought, that had a wire clip was a G10 UKPK, I really didn't like it, so wished that it had a solid clip, I really like the one tha...

PITS stands for Pie In The Sky, apparently, and it is the working title of this very impressive new addition to the slipit line. The ergos were really nice and I’d love to see how this folder holds up under daily carry and use. The spring bar on top of the handle helps to keep the blade either open...

earthman, ACPI and APM support, particularly for notebooks, can be spotty on Linux/FreeBSD. There are often specific fixes for various machines, and some of those could work for you, or maybe just some settings tweaks will help. I run into this issue often on my laptops, and if your machine isn't v...

The only computer I have that still runs XP is an old netbook that I don't think has the resources to run anything later. I don't use it that often anyway, but once support is no longer available for it, I may just put Linux on it. I've recently done this with a laptop, well I can either boot it up...

Since Spyderco doesn't make one, you should look at the Victorinox SwissTool and their SpiritX ergonomic lightweight version of the SwissTool. They're far finer than any other multitool in my opinion. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/victorinox-swiss-army-knife-swisstool I totally agree, the Swisstool is th...
