Spyderco Forums

Thanks for posting Mike! Just finished watching it.

Merry Christmas! :)

Very nice :)

Congratulations! Nice knife also! :)

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for all the extra input. I've seen knives with metal handles with inserts made of rubber, I guess that's acknowledging issues with grip.

FRN (from Spyderco) has a very similar feel minus the different textures of course. G10, Micarta, and CF can vary wildly depending how treated.

Welcome!

Time to eat!

No worries :)

As for the Civilian, the thread topic made me say OUCH! Serrated knives make their presence felt! Then it has the hook shape.

Many here probably know Hannibal Lecter bought a Civilian in the novel Hannibal.
