Spyderco Forums

Nice. Not too shabby on the whisky choice, either.

Thanks, Tom, you put it better than I did.

You chaps are fortunate to live with such inherent freedom, (I was going to say such “such liberal areas”, but remembered that has quite the opposite meaning for you).

The internet now allows us all to find peers in any interest or mindset, helping to normalise those.

Mostly that’s healthier than old-time, often oppressive, societal norms, sometimes it’s definitely not.

Like most appear to, I have a “decision process” rather than rules. This boils down to whether the candidate can do something better than an incumbent, or whether I like it enough not to care.* Then I can justify knives as diverse as the Endura wharncliffe SE and the Euroedge! *Police 4 Salt will ti...

Why we shouldn’t buy fakes!

Welcome & a hello!

How about an Ambitious or an Efficient as a gateway model?

Ooops!

Hello & welcome!

Same here: sold a few, bought a few, some older, some new. Highlights, so far, have been the Euroedge (a wonderful design & manufacturing showpiece), Manix XL (the cbbl works way better for my large hands on the XL) and the Watu (good fit, and oh! that 20cv blade shape and grind!) Said goodbye to re...

Fascinating insight, Mike. Thank you!

Time for a Hawkbill UKPK, I think... The only Hawkbill slipjoints I’ve seen are pruning knives.

Well, my SE Endura Wharncliffe is on order and my Pac Salt on it’s way to a new owner. I suspect it may also replace my Lil Matriarch for those specific reassurance duties as well. They’re all not legal edc here, anyway.

I just bought a cast iron casserole/Dutch oven pot from Ikea. Inexpensive and seems like good quality.

Made a first bread loaf / boule in it yesterday and it baked (even) better than my previous efforts in Pyrex and in stainless steel.

I don’t know how I’ve ignored this model for so long! That blade looks effective.

Anyone have/had one?

Voted “no”.

The Sage is another great Spyderco “only knife you’ll ever really need”, like the N5, but with added fidgetability.

You’re clearly in too deep for that kind of trauma.

I despise people showing them off or selling them on forums etc as “clones”.

They’re fakes. Period. Would the buyers be happy with fake tech? fake medicines?? fake brake-pads???

I always check the Mrs isn’t looking before I open the package....

In the kitchen I very often reach for the K11 SE cook’s knife out of preference. Everybody should be made to try SE at least once, along with decent shoes and good whisky, although not necessarily at the same time

.... and SEF ....
