I like the blue cf much better than the original domino scales. I'm dreaming, but i'd love to see a FFG Endura or Caly 3.5 with these g10/blue cf scales.

Awesome story Damon and awesome generosity by spyderco. I really like what you have done to that endura, what is the length of the blade after the mod? It's right at 3.5". I liked the Enduras that Michael Janich was modding but was unable to get one due to the limited supply, so I was inspired...

This right here is the reason why people stay Spyderco fans. Sure, the awesome knives are great and all, but it makes SUCH a difference knowing my money and support goes to a company that cares. It's a true rarity these days... Exactly my thoughts, Syncharmony. Spyderco makes a great product, but t...

Thank you, Sal!

Some of you may have a rant that I posted several days ago lamenting that fact that I was forced to throw away a very special knife on my way to Cancun, in order to avoid being fined or possibly jailed by Mexican authorities. The knife was my first Spyderco, a black FRN Endura that I had modded and ...

I'll be carrying my CF Caly3 tonight. Tomorrow I'll probably go back to the PM2.

Happy New Year everyone. Have fun, but stay safe.

That story makes me wanna remember to carry (or put in a carry on bag) enough black duct tape to help stash/secure a knife somewhere good in an airport just in case. Perhaps in a stationary trashcan that just the bag get's replaced.. Or the planter idea was pretty good. Once I arrived in Cancun, I ...

Assuming the rivets are copper, there are gun cleaning solvents that are designed to strip copper fouling from the barrel/feed ramp of a firearm. That stuff is hard core and I'm sure it would remove the copper, but I'm not sure how it would affect the black finish of the blade. Hoppe's Bench Rest #9...

Sucks to lose a knife, but that situation could have ended much worse than having to send it off to the dump. Ideally, you would want to find a bush outside somewhere and stash it deep inside when nobody is looking, and then pick it up on your way out. Yeah, that's what I was attempting to do immed...

Wait a minute! Did I start this thread? :D I got into Scotch whisky a few years ago and I enjoy a wee pour nearly every night. My curse is that there are so many different whiskies to try, but I don't like the feeling of a buzz. If I want to compare a couple of whiskies head to head, I have to pour ...

Just got home from finishing up the last minute Christmas shopping. Thanks everybody for the kind words and for not telling me what a fool I was. If only I had stopped and thought to break my routine for that one day, I'd still have the knife. I did ask at both airports whether there was a Post Offi...

I was forced to do the unthinkable.

This may be upsetting to some; it was certainly upsetting to me. My apologies in advance. I just had to vent to people who might understand and appreciate my loss. I've lurked on these forums for months, but this is my first post. My name is Damon, and I'm a Spyderholic. I've known about Spyderco fo...
