Spyderco Forums

Love my Buck 110. My dad gave it to me as a gift for my first real adult job back in 1989. I wore it in a dyed black leather basketweave .45 caliber mag pouch. I don't know much about Bucks knives - vintage over newer, etc.

Over the years, the brass turned a horrific green from the leather dye. I ...

All I know is that from my generation and older (GenX), we have many scars on our bodies. They come from broken bones while playing, merry-go-rounds, monkey-bars, pedals planting themselves in our calves, etc. I also know many of us have pieces of pencil lead stuck somewhere in our bodies. Myself ...

I just finished sharpening the scissors and kitchen knife block knives in the house with my Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker. It is all original, I bought it sometime around 1992 for 29.95 (price tag still on the container). Anyone else still using a 30 some odd year old sharpening kit? I can't believe ...

I want to use my Tri-Angle knife sharpener to sharpen a couple sets of handheld gardening pruners. You know the kind with a curved claw piece and a single pivoting blade that is used for trimming rose bushes and other vines and plants? Pruning shears, essentially.

Here is a link to an image of a ...

I haven't been by the forum in a few weeks. I went back five (5) pages, but did not see anything on the forum knife. Did I miss out?

C'mon now, that was funny

H stands for Hattori Hanzo, famed Japanese sword maker.

Is that like Edward K9 Scissorhands?

I've met and worked with a handful of Secret Service guys. Keep in mind, these are the 90% of the USSS that deal in counterfeit money, not the elite 10% (whether through skill, seniority, or patronage) that get to work the Presidential Security Detail. They have all been stand up guys.

If I were a ...

Is that for Multi-Function, or Mother F-er?

I was reading a thread on SharpMakers and someone referenced a model 204 and a 701. Which is this old one of mine? It has no fancy integrated case/cover.

Also, the other threads and Sal's videos keep talking about being set at 30 and 40 degrees. My SharpMaker CLEARLY indicates it is set for 20 ...

Geez Eddie, you DO like your Malkoff's! 4 Houndogs, geez.Well, I know how awesome they are. Best torch on earth, hand's down!

I had the original generation Endura. I have the original generation knife sharpener (still with $29.99 price tag on it, haha!), I have a stainless police model (I believe ...

**** you guys and **** this place!!!! I am now *still* drooling for more Spydercos. I almost pulled the trigger on the KW Worker sprint run, if only the blade were black.

I am really wiping my chin over the bayou shooter Emerson. Finding one is a bit of a hunt. I still really like the salts/rescues ...

Manix, you are right, there are many excuses I can make for buying new blades. A fixed blade is not an attractive option for me because I'm pretty medium in height- not tall enough for it to not look like the size of an arm on me, hahaha!

As for the lights, I'm pretty happy with what I got. Like I ...

ManixFan, those are all very good points, and interesting info about the sharpening angles. I agree, there are many great blades, I want them all, hahaha!

Skidoosh, your article link is very true. I am far more likely to cut evidence or sealing tape and seat belts or cut flex cuffs or evidence ...

Thank you. And I believe the conventional 21' rule is being contemplated and articulated to stretch out to 35', last I heard.

LW?

Wow, there have been so many great suggestions! Thank you for the insights! I really like a bunch of these knives! The rescue series looks great, the classic Endura is great, I even really like the Paramilitary 2. I mulled WrdWrght's thoughts on the Assist also. While "Protect and Serve" is a very ...

Sorry, I would give better feedback but like some are confused by the nature of the request. I would spend more time in BJJ and boxing classes and less looking for something stabby. If all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail...and in this case the nail might be someone with a ...

bit pricey but how about a black Southard?
Johnnie1801, thanks for showing me the Southard. It MSRP's at $440, while the Native's MSRP is $149. It is somewhere between the Endura and the Police model which is larger than I'd like. It is a beautiful piece of goods though. Maybe someday when I have ...
