Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

I own both the 20cv and standard version. I really like the Kapara, and carry one quite frequently.

Rusty, that made me laugh. Even though Switzerland is not an EU member.

Re: Endura w/armorer tool (Not Lone Wolf?)

I own the Remote Release and the Lone Wolf Endura. I am totally unfamiliar with any Spyderco with any sort of button activated armorer tool. I think the Remote Release is the closest thing I can think of, and I really liked the Snap It substantially better than the Remote Release.

Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)

What is the Spyderco competitor to their Intersect? Small, magnacut fixed blade...definitely interesting to me.

Re: Victorinox going bladeless

I've had a TSA agent physically open and inspect _all_ of the tools on my (bladeless) multi-tool before.

Re: Victorinox going bladeless

I have a bladeless multi tool that I use for travel (because it can be carried in the cabin and I rarely check bags). It's a useful piece of gear. My usual habit is to buy a relatively inexpensive knife whenever I get where I'm going, and then just leave the knife behind when I head home.

Re: Wanting Some Good Cargo Work Pants

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

Re: Protecting Our Allies

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 ...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

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...

Re: How about a PM60 Mule?

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.
