My wife's idea of a cutting board is a ceramic dinner plate most of the time. The K05S has been the only kitchen knife that can stand up to that kind of abuse for any length of time. Twice a year or so, I run that knife thru the Sharpmaker and we're back in business. All the rest of the expensive ...

Somewhere, there's a sweaty, bearded man with an unlit cigar butt clenched in his teeth. He's hunched over a workbench in a dripping musty cellar under a single 40watt light bulb on a cord, that slightly sways back and forth. Sweat beads form, then drip off his crazy gray eyebrows, but he doesn't ...

Waiting on the Starmate is like when my wife says, "I'll be ready to go in five minutes".

Did I somehow miss the Starmate? It's not on the upcoming list. Have they delivered?

Any news on the Starmate? Good grief, I feel like Micheal J Fox back in 1880 waiting for the someone to invent time travel and the Deloarian.

Check is in the mail. Kind of a nostalgic moment. Writing a check, putting it in an envelope, the whole address and stamp thing. So yesteryear! Good luck everyone.

Not sure about the C19, but early C36 Military models, first run Bob Lum tantos, and the Terzoula Starmate had "eccentric" pivots that will bring the tang closer to the lockbar if it's turned. Lots of trial and error. Lots of disassembly and reassembly. It would take the patience of a watchmaker to ...

The "Charisma" is made in Golden. Eric has been working on refining the design for 3 years anyway.

It's like a Jess Horn lightweight that's running illegal jet fuel. What about teeth? This model with fangs would be out of the ballbark.

Exactly one hour!

...But it wasn’t specifically stated there couldn’t be a possibly sometime in the future for the micarta calypsos to make a comeback...
It has been specifically stated. Check the forums. Unlined micarta lockbacks are Elvis gone. Lock geometry changes when micarta gets wet. Liability issues. So ...

In my belief the Caly series should be in production alone for how much its design is an iconic symbol for spyderco, regardless of the few naysayers

Preach it brother. Add serrations to that speech and a huge American flag backdrop and you'll be like General Patton talking about taking ground.

Hopefully at least a fraction of the run will be in serrated edge, no matter the steel. Oh, that and screw construction. Put a yellow label on that box and an "S" in that model number baby!

It wasn't a vaccine or a SNAFU, it was a bioweapon.

As is so eloquently stated on the FRN handle of the model we need to see another sprint run of: JESSHORNJESSHORNJESSHORN

Thumbs up on this project. Gitter done.

I was wondering what people's thoughts are on PE vs serrated on this particular model, what would be the reasons to go for one or the other for this model?

Rule of thumb, go with teeth.

Edited. Nothing nice to say…

Don’t tug on SuperBlue’s cape, don’t spit into the wind…

I’m also in the market for one of these kits and called SFO a couple of weeks ago, was told to keep checking the website. They are due in any time but unfortunately, there’s no way to sign up for email notification.

What disco’d knife needs to come back? It’s written on the show side scale. Over and over again. JESSHORNJESSHORNJESSHORN. The stand alone greatest FRN lightweight Spydie of any and all time.
