Hi Caleb This is about the best pic I have of the Worker serrations. It is bigger than 1:1 The false edge at the top front is not sharp enuff to cut butt is a definite edge. The only pix I have of the reverse side are deceptive and without detail. It is the same as the serrated side in that it is ho...

Congrats BladeMaster... Yes it was a surprise when I saw a Worker the first time. It wasn't at a knife store butt at the L.A. County Fair. I drooled and fondled and lusted and finally walked away not being able to justify the purchase at the time. My lady snuck back the next day and bought one. She ...

Hi Caleb I too had a lot of trouble with the error message when trying to post. My problem was in which way I came in to the thread. If I enter from the main forums page then I don't get the error. I get it every time if I bookmark the general discussion page and bypass the main page. Anyway, at lea...

I'm pretty sure some knifemakers started out by modifying the knives they had. Maybe you will end up making a whole new knife. And maybe be the next Sal. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Was my first Spydie back in 1984. I carried it a lot and used it a lot, until I broke that needle point prying with it. (stupid) I've got a couple now and still appreciate its history and design. This picture was of one for sale on ebay way back. (wish I would have bid a bit higher) Disguised as a r...

I can't eat only one potato chip and I can't carry only one Spydie.

Hannibal... When I was in the Army there was an enemy that I had taken an oath to protect my country and people from. When I was working in an ambulance I saw a lot of blood that I had to work through and not be affected by. My wife loves to watch operations on television. Her dad was a doctor, her ...

It's sad that in an age where there is the ability for people to reach out and broaden their community to include people they may never meet otherwise, that some choose to harden their senses and wall off their hearts; to withhold their compassion and fellowship. Have you never volunteered your time...

Hi Mobbed You might want to do a search both here and at BladeForums.com using "AUS6" for comments on that steel. I find most feel it is more corrosion resistant but maybe not as tough as ATS55. The pic below is of most of Spyderco's SS handled knives. The Endura isn't there or the Spyderc...

This question comes up pretty regular on both forums. I always have trouble answering. I must be fickle. I really don't have an overriding favorite. I try to carry according to my activities.
