For me from small/light to bigger/heavy: Chaparral 1, Caly 3 and 3.5 CF, Sage 1.

My pocket always loves the Caly Family (I count the UKPK in there too)

I love the Taichung CF as well and it can't hurt to have a bit more traction - even if it exists only in my imagination...

It's just that I like it more than the supersmooth polished CF (think Caly CF)


Happy new year,

I have several kitchen knives in Aogami and Shirogami. I use them on a regular basis and don't have any rust issues. Of course I always wipe them dry and apply a drop of oil after using them... Shirogami is very easy to sharpen and it gets really scary sharp. What a joy to use the steel in the kitch...

I'd love to see a real kitchen folder from Spyderco. The main point for having a kitchen folder is blade protection in a blade hostile environment (kitchen drawer) and the ease of transportation. There are some out there but they are either way over my budget, crappy made or too much of a compromise...

I got my GB two days ago and I'm blown away... It feels very solid and has a secure lock. For my part: I like liner locks.

It's too big as a EDC for me but will have it's moments for shure...

I can't say bad things about it.

It just cuts... It gets reasonably sharp... It stays sharp for a while... It's easy to sharpen...

A good every day steel I think.

LW Urbans sounds great!

But for me: no Titanium please. I love the material itself but hate it as scales material due to the slippery feeling :(

The taiwanese CF as on the Sage 1 would be awesome!
