Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban

Good review, thank you for posting!

I agree with you on most counts, but would point out that the shorter backspring on the UKPK actually makes it lighter than the Urban.

Definitely Gen X!

It’s interesting how the continued, deliberate propagation of division in our societies develops.

I don’t mind lanyard holes as long as they don’t add too much extra weight.

Re: Upcoming P.I.T.S. 2

I’m very satisfied with the Spits m390 so have passed on the opportunity to acquire an Alien on a couple of times, now.

The general consensus is that it’s a slightly lighter action than the Pits, smaller and more pocketable, but that has been people comparing it to the non Spyderco version.

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native

The Dragonfly is a beefed up Manbug, whereas the Lil Native is a shrunk Native ….

… so an enlarged lightweight keychain knife vs a miniature field knife.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

A little less than that at Edgar Bros, the UK importer, and in stock.

As an aside, this is by far the best folder I’ve ever used for food prep.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

Mine arrived today. I’ve been after a Catcherman for a long while, and I’m delighted. I’m no fisherman, but I live near the sea and do buy and prepare fresh fish, and it feels like it should be a great general food prep knife, too.

Now I’m just waiting for the Spyderco oyster knife :rofl

JD said full SE …

My Catcherman only arrived today, so will see how it goes in CE before commenting further. Very impressed out of the box, though.

Re: Review: Murray Carter Minarai Petty

Good review. Thank you for sharing.

Most of my kitchen knives appear to be ffg, apart from a single sided Global deba, and I’ve not noticed a problem to date with food binding. I’m certainly not a chef or expert on kitchen knives, but aren’t most kitchen knives ffg? Asking for a friend, ahem…

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

Milk in paper cartons is better. However, I buy Fernleaf powdered milk. It tastes just like bottled milk and dissolves in cold water. It is a New Zealand product. I understand that the same brand in the UK isn't nearly as good because UK laws mandate using only UK cow milk. The NZ cow milk is much ...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

I was sooooo sad!!! I have wanted this knife FOREVER, but this was discontinued before my time here. When I saw the announcement several months ago I was overjoyed. But….I did what I always do and procrastinated until the last minute. By the time I acted they were all gone. Then I found one! Haha. ...
