Just received the 21 in. nickel plated Asp. Wow! After starting out with a light weight 26 in. this piece has a focused heft that's comfortable to carry ITWB and a ton of fun to flick and swing. The silver look "portends" more than black.

Hey Mike! You made me freak out a sec. Those of us spyderholics in Richmond,VA thought we'd missed you! If you consider some EAST classes remember Richmond is a great central area for seminars.

We called a local concealed carry course business. We were told it was only a concealed ''gun'' course. Wouldn't you think a ''gun'' permit would cover a Baton ???

Could someone give me a suggestion on what would be the best type of polish to use on the damascus bolsters of this knife? Thanks, Roger

Mike, Hi and thanks for the reply. I'm curious as to not using the 26'' version. Is it a carry/concealabily issue?>>>> Roger

No, he doesn't carry the ASP all the time but he has a Gunting around her his neck at all times. We're looking into VA's laws on this weapon and the concealed permit issues.>>>Roger

Thanks CKE, My wife is starting to realize my knife collecting might benefit her in the long run. As the daughter of an Army WW2 MOH recipient she learned to see what is important to family in many ways. I'm blessed.>>>>>>>>>>> Roger

Thank you, The more I handle this knife I realize its excellence in many ways. It truly reflects a celebratory event in the history of spyderco knives. The deep golden hue of the Damascus ( balanced on both sides )blends so nicely with the honey color of the scales. The mirror finish of the VG-10 ...

My wife gave me a 25th Anniversary Delica yesterday for my 55th birthday. WOW!!!! It's awesome, the unique bolsters are remarkable. The jig-bone scales, VG-10 steel, and weight combine to give you a knife that is wonderful to hold. The presentation box gives it a special touch of class. As a long ...

My buddy budoka feels his 26'' ASP is superior in effectiveness for SD situations against the blade. He studies the use of both. Any thoughts?

Just got my 1st "Kiwi" today. I've been looking for a truly comfortable "pocket knife" which it is!!! It is very unique in its look and feel. The gravity flick opening with tip up while pinching the hole is maximum cool. I can see a little kydex neck sheath for closed carry being very low "print ...

Dear Mike J.
Thoughts on the 3 in. blade: Most of the vital body points are reached with this length but the skill to deal with all potential attacks efficiently with this weapon requires much practice and understanding of its limits. The " Bigger is better" deal makes sense sometimes but isn't ...

Spydercoknut,I agree with the sharp report. I did the "shave hair test" on left forearm 1st day then tested the area again 2 days later and I bled. This knife will cut!!!!

Mike, Several people in the class this past weekend thought the Ronin looked like a "work" knife in the box cutter sense. Overall they were very positive about the knife.

Michael,
Hock told to me to say hello to you. He said some nice things about you and your work. He did mention how you were open to feedback on trainning issues. I showed him the Spyderco Ronin this A.M. and he liked it and the whole neck knife concept.

Roger

Once again thank you so much for the feedback. I'm thinking more and more of getting to one of your seminars. Thanks for being there! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Thanks. Should the bottom tip of the Ronin's handle be even with the lower tip of the breast bone (xiphoid process) to prevent the "print"? Sorry if I"m asking too detailed questions but I'm a Physical Therapist by profession.
I will certainally say "HI' to Hock from you. Domo, Roger
