I just opened a new caly 3 super-blue, incredible fit and finish. Very smooth pivot.

This looks like a corrosion resistance uber-steel. I wonder what it would do compared to H-1? Thoughts?

Rip the honeysuckle out and spray it. It smells great but is a non-native invasive species.

I zip tie my bags and put a nail clipper in the outside pocket of the duffel. If TSA needs to check they will re-zip tie the bag. I think most theft is quick search through luggage. They can still use a ball point pen to get into the bag if they want but it discourages a quick zip search. In some in...

I like that one, is it a custom?
I was looking at the Emerson edc-2, nice design and I like the locks but a bit too much for 440c.

Sometimes I feel when I ask questions on here I need a boilerplate from a lawyer :-) "Sir, when you said deployment did you mean pocket or in hand deployment?" Umm yeah. I was looking for any deployment. Emersons were not ones I had considered. There are also times when closing a knife qui...

I like it. Looks like FF on the Victorinox is a bit better than the fieldman but I do like the fieldman blade shape better.

Fast factor for me is something to fiddle with. I love my caly 3 ergos are awesome but my axis lock blades are fast. A few seconds won't matter to me.

Fastest Deploying Spydie?

What is the fastest non-auto Spyderco you have? All my Spydies are back locks but I like the speed of a framelock I own and some others. What's your experience?

The difference is between real and perceived risk. There are some good graphs that you can google. On one axis there is perceived risk and on the other is actual risk. Disneyland and video games can create perception of risk that is high but hazard is low to non-existent (repetitive motion injuries ...

I bought a Pelikan and love it. Check out a Pilot vanishing point. If you want to defend yourself carry a gun. If you want to write it pays to step up to true writing instrument.

I'm getting anxious for this one. The stretch has been out for a bit, any guesses on time? Spyderco is really churning out the knives.
