What are some filling and reasonably nutrition rich low carbohydrate snack foods you all recommend that do not have chemical additives like artificial sweeteners or colors ?

David hello friend. What is your opinion of knife makers cutting serrations onto the top half of a knife blade rather than the bottom half? Would that improve cutting performance?

David, you really made my Sunday with this post. I haven't been over here since ages only to find this gem. As a full serrations nut since 2005, I very much appreciate this. I had a plan to make one of these post myself but you did a better job than I ever could since I can't post pics anymore on t...

With all the talk about electromagnetic pulse attack dangers what are ways that society can block or minimize these? Use shielded electronics or mechanical only devices with no electronic circuits?

I use a Coast Plasteel model but I need a more powerful model. Any suggestions? It needs to have a polymer housing and easy to replace bulb and batteries and be under 30 dollars.

Apart from the steel, I've had the yellow FRN react to pool water and it became a little lighter then before. The H-1 held up just fine. Somewhere in the forum history I posted pictures of my before and after experiment in which I immersed a Spyderco Pacific Salt original serrated model in a jar of...

I also love my Byrd Hawkbill but I wish they will make a larger version with a 3.5 to 3.75 inch long or 3.95 inch long blade.

Another design I would love to see Sal and Eric do in the abuse line is a 3.25 to 3.75 inch Tanto. Come on guys and gals. Shoot some ideas along. I agree completely. Please make a Byrd with thick 3.0 mm tanto blade both serrated and combo edge and plain blade. And in that 3 to 4 inch blade length r...

Seems odd but so far these programs seem to just reuse Wikipedia type info.

The Finn Wolf is good.

Happy Birthday

Welcome! This is a great forum. I am very interested in Italian culture and knives. Most people think of spring driven so called switch blades from Italy but the Italian knife makers produce lockblade and fixed blades of great quality.

Happy Birthday Doc! You are truly a great man.

Welcome to the forum.

Hello friends! I missed you all. Question. When were the earliest Spyderco knives made with Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon handles and in general when was FRN and that class of material used for knife grips? My understanding is that our greatly missed friend Walter Blackie Collins pioneered injection m...

I have some questions about this: 1 Can these systems use AI patterns to find new materials and technologies that humans have not found? Example: Can you ask Chat GPT to find new knife shapes, designs, and materials for blades and handles that can revolutionize knife production, or not likely since ...

Attention Larrin and Doc and others here who are interested in new knife steel: Read this news and tell me if this has possible applications to knife/blade steel? https://www.asminternational.org/smst/newswire/-/journal_content/56/10180/33464294/NEWS/ https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/223818-hardy...

Michael and others: Do you think this is true? The nanotechnology engineers claim that eventually advanced molecular control of matter will lead to things like complete weather control so people can make the world safe and secure when it comes to weather changes, such as making inexpensive transpare...

I hope this doesn't sound ignorant but can you all please give me a basic summary again of what MAP is? Is my understanding correct, that it sets a rule that any official retailer or knife seller whom works with and purchases their knives from Spyderco for resale to the public must agree to a minimu...
