Re: Proposal: Spyderco Midtechs

This seems to be the trend in the knife industry. I would probably buy-in to this, but I feel as it has been mentioned, the Taichung models are essentially mid-techs. I own the Slysz Bowie and it is so nice and near the custom version (I do not own the custom though). I still appreciate all models f...

Re: LC200-n: What we know and what it means

Thanks for your thoughts/testing on this steel SurfG. I am definitely interested, primarily folders though. It would be sweet to have a ti framelock salt if that is possible!! It would indeed be sweet aj. I would certainly buy one but the truth is I probably wouldn't use it much. For me when a knif...

Re: Slysz Bowie!

I got mine on Saturday. I've only spent two days with it, but I absolutely love it. It isn't perfect, but it's very, very close, closer than anything else I have or have handled. I took a ton of pictures and will be posting a full review/impressions/comparison. http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s...

Re: Slysz Bowie!

I received the Bowie a few days ago and have been breaking it in. It came a little tight but glassy smooth. Now the blade swings more free and even glassy smooth. This is a great knife and makes my Sage 2 feel like an inexpensive knife. To me, this feels like a high-end production knife. I feel like...

Re: CF & S90v Manix2 XL and Yojimbo from KW

Got mine in - second to post pics (Nice pics Roger). This is my first Yohimbo and it is better than I thought. Design and F&F are outstanding. Blade drops freely out of the box and lock-up is rock-solid. http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a413/pricosurf/20140918_131055_resized_zpsf3dbfbdc.jpg ...

No, the one I got today is not stonewashed. It is nice though and came razor sharp and F&F were near perfect. The grind evenness was a little off but that was about it.

I ordered really fast when they first showed on the KW website before the pre-order and got my shipping notice. I guess they had a few before the pre-orders, but now it looks like there are temporarily out of stock. Looking forward to this one especially because it is a sprint run.

Very cool concept. Ball chain, black. Color is nice. Very urban friendly. The art of mis-direction is everything. Agree on H1 model. I'd call it the "Salty Dog"
Much better name than the Salt tag!! I may get one anyway, but would buy several Salty dogs.

Picked up a pacific salt SE yellow based on a recommendation from the forum (thanks Surfingringo) and cannot wait to use it this weekend. I will soon get a tasman salt SE to go along with it.

These are very cool - and only 1 oz. The only thing that would be nicer for me is if it came in H1 and everything was stainless "Salt tag". This would make for an awesome back-up fishing knife.

Hey AJ, those are really different knives and I love them both. I always carry the tasman clipped to a cord around my neck and the salt 1 (or Pacific Salt) in my waistband. The tasman is almost worthless for cutting bait but unbelievably useful for other tasks. The two make a great combo, though it...
