Ulize have phosphor bronze washers?
Does the Ulize have Phosphor Bronze washers?
I assume it has the same paper thin bronze washers as the Police III, which works fine for me, but I've been surprised before....

Frank is currently making these elsewhere. Much like the Wagner models I highly doubt we will see even a sprint as it would compete against their own knives. I'd totally buy one too, if they could keep them in stock. I've been checking periodically, over the last few years, and have never seen them...

Gunting
Since we finally got a G10 Lava, how about a sprint run of the long discontinued Gunting? You could sell it as a combination with a trainer :cool: The "kinetic opener" protrusion on the blade is unique, as was the puzzle lock. I need another bizarre looking little big knife :D From http://...

I think a Strider collaboration would be great. As for the steel, I prefer stainless blades for a folder. My 3V Bark River rusted quickly when exposed to water and humidity if it wasn't constantly oiled. Oiling a folder just attracts lint and dust and other crap that I don't want in a pivot. https:/...

I've dulled most of my shiny silver pocket clips with 1500 or 600 grit sandpaper to get the reflective shine off. I even match the direction of sanding to the machine marks left on the blade, and it matches the finish very well. I haven't found a solution to dull the shiny black clips though, for so...

Shiny Black Pocket Clip Fix?
Is there any way to dull the shiny finish on the glossy black Spyderco pocket clips? I'm not worried about being tacticool, but the glossy pocket clip looks lame with the dull DLC finish or G10 handles. Any chance Spyderco could do a run of matte black pocket clips for a Delica/Endura/Para2/Yojimbo/...

I have already become accustomed to the tip down, I have no personal desire to change that even if the option is there. I also know I am probably in the minority on this. Same here. I'm not sure why people get so hung up on one or the other. My Military is used tip down only because that's the only...

Just one for survival? Surviving being stranded in the wild of a desert, tropical island, northern forest, inner city, or where? In a city, where I want to keep the blade out of sight, a Para2. In the Desert, where there is little that needs to be cut, the Para2 again. On an island, a fixed blade S...

Manix 2 Grind
Is the manix 2 hollow or full flat ground?
In pictures, it looks like the plain edge version is flat ground, and the partially serrated version is hollow?

I've been very happy with my S35VN, but it is in customs and at 60-61. Thin edges, no chipping and good edge holding . I wouldn't mind it in a folder from Spyderco, but I passed on the PM2 since I had a few others. My experience, both with my Native 5 and my Bark River Bravo 1, has been the same. I...

I've handled a Rock, and while it was great for fast Kali drills, it didn't have the mass, or the tough steel, that I believe a big knife needs for chopping. I wouldn't want to find out how an expensive knife with a thin edge made from VG10 reacts after coming into high speed contact with a hard kno...

There has been some discussion of the Yojimbo 2 being used a lot for general use. What if the Yojimbo 2 was re-released as a general use knife that just so happened to be good for self defense. Would this thing be considered a heavy duty utility knife? Tactical utility knife? What steel and scales ...
