Thanks for sharing that David. I have held on to similar negative perceptions of serrated edges for many of the same reasons. Also, aesthetically I just like the sleek smooth look of a fine plain edge. Similarly, I like the smooth, sleek lines of a classic Corvette, but I understand that another spo...

My EDC for self defense isn't made by Spyderco. It's made by Glock. Except on days when I'm dressed lighty or formally--then it's made by Kahr. I've spent some time studying blade based martial arts, and my major conclusion is that knife fighting is a brutal, nasty, bloody affair that I have no des...

WD40 is a petroleum product, isn't it? I can't see how making flavored versions would be a good idea unless maybe they were going to use a different formulation altogether. I liked the joke about bacon grease for knives. :p I notice that no one mentioned peanut oil, and that kind of surprises me. I...

I think it could use some of that flourescent "Zombie green" color thrown in somewhere, but other than that pretty cool.

Yes it is true, some mineral oil is labeled food-safe and some is not. Food-safe mineral oil is simply 100% mineral oil with no other additives. And remember a little goes a long way, don't over do it. In the food service industry you just pay a little more for it to say "food-safe" on the...

Also mineral oil is considered "food-safe." I've found that plant or animal based oils have a tentency to gum up over time, though I have also used olive oil with good results. As far as rust protection goes I believe most anything that leaves a film on the blade, preventing air (oxygen) f...

I still plan to buy a nice quality version of one of these someday, not that I would ever carry it. Definitely hold out for a quality model. I'll probably splurge and get one myself someday, not that I would ever carry it. I have a knock-off and the action is great, but the blade is cr**. If the ho...
