Spyderco Forums

The heavier Duluth Trading pants (the original firehose material) are very, very tough. I mostly wear the 'dry on the fly flex' variant during warmer weather, because it's a lot lighter.

I'm definitely in favor of global warming then.

I'll second Duluth Trading. I've been wearing their cargo pants continuously for years.

As a Filipino, I appreciate that other people are aware of tensions in Southeast Asia. I can't say more without turning this into a political post, so I will close with that. There are _many_ Filipino-Americans. My mother was born in Manila and moved to the US at a young age (my grandfather was an ...

So you’re basically wanting a DLC version of the Heinnie Haynes exclusives?

The 4v is the draw for me.

Instant buy for me.

I'm definitely in for at least two.

I have been using HIC kitchen knives for more than a year now. They hold a working edge _forever_. That's their main strength. You can't really get them 'scary sharp', and they are relatively fragile (we have broken two of the paring knives now), but they hold a useable edge for a virtually infinite...

I'd love to try a PM60 Mule. I'm tempted by the Kunwu, but not sure I really want to cough up that much for a Chinese knife at this point.

I'm extremely fond of my back lock manix. I have always wished for a Cruwear (or 3v) version.

I have some older Survive knives in 20cv and 3v, and they've been super solid. Apparently they went downhill when they tried to scale up (unsuccessfully). My general impression from reading through things a while back is that I basically wouldn't trust them. They seem to be in the business of blamin...

My thinking on this continues to evolve, but at this point I think Damascus is the one I really would like to play with. I've always seen Damascus blades as 'pretty not functional' and I'd be very interested in doing abusive testing on one to see how well it held up.

Wood boards are actually more sanitary than plastic boards. And 'raw' wood boards are more sanitary than varnished or coated wood. I've always wanted to do a stabilized wood cutting board, because it would look nice, but it would actually be less sanitary, so I haven't done it (yet). https://www.all...

Making a cutting board is easy if you have some basic carpentry skills, and they make great personal gifts. Example: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodcraft-woodshop-exotic-cutting-board-kit-3-4-x-9-3-4-x-16-angelique-hard-maple-wenge There are tons of cool cutting boards on Etsy too. I think t...

I don't think it's fair to fault Spyderco when a totally experimental blade in a totally experimental material doesn't live up to whatever expectations you've created for it. I bought several of the Rahven kitchen knives (which cost less) before deciding to buy the HIC mule. I had a fairly good idea...

Isn't that stat NFL yards? So it's the yards gained in NFL play by running backs who went to each school? Wouldn't it be the NFL O-line they were rushing behind that mattered?

Do you have a YouTube channel? You could post an audio recording there.

Here's one sort of example, but I honestly prefer this kind of thing with no video at all:

Guardian 3 Wharnie for the win!!

Do you find the 'tab' on the g-clip digs in at all? I found it uncomfortable in vehicles, and build a spandex strap that I use instead.

This thread is killing me. I'm discovering a bunch of new small EDC fixed blades I'm going to have to try out.
