1 can lock rock cause someone to lose a finger? To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever received so much as a scratch because of lock rock.
2 can we put aftermarket stop pins in? Theoretically possible, at least with knives that have liners. But, I'm reasonably certain you'd have to get it ...

there's this weird concern in knife enthusiast circles about over sharpening & reducing the life of the blade.

typed out by folks with 50+ knives :rofl



Not just knife enthusiasts. I see the same logic in articles about kitchen knives, aimed at the average guy/gal on the street: use a steel ...

TSA is aware of this, they aren't stupid.

Well, that's open to debate (the stupid part). Meanwhile, scissors -- essentially 2 chisel ground knives joined together by a screw -- under 4" are permitted in your carry-on.

Two points and I'm outta here:

1) Knives with blades under 6cm have been allowed on flights in Canada (both domestic and international, except to the United States) since November 27, 2017.

2) Most of us who would like to be able to carry a small knife with them while flying want to carry a ...

Got mine today. Very pleased.

Don't forget the Doublestuff 2. For those who sharpen freehand, it works well on both serrations and recurves, not to mention, serrated recurves.

Hey Dsvirsky,

Really nice "Navigator". Is that yours?

Yes, it is. Bought it from Ironstone as a CX02 Experimental, if memory serves me correctly. Still think it's one of Spyderco's best small knife designs (although I disliked the Almite version and gave that one away).

It brakes my hart when I here words used imprecisely, butt eye byte my tung… usually.

Are we talking about pinned knives, or riveted knives? Just curious, so I’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.


Well, I guess if we want to keep your head from exploding, this knife is pinned:

Can't speak for Mr. Johnson and don't care one way or the other personally (except with custom slipjoints, where I expect pinned), but one might note that you never have to deal with frame screws loosening with pinned construction.

I own three of the Stretch 2XL: VG-10 SE, H2 SE, and K390 PE. Don't miss the liners, don't feel any flex, and would very much like to see more linerless models.

I can only speak for myself, but I would not buy a P4 Salt with liners. I have a P4 in K390, in fact it's in the pocket of my cargo pants as I type this, but it never gets carried around the house, which is 95% of my carry these days, because the liners make it too heavy for athletic shorts or ...

Many, many years ago, Wayne Goddard wrote an article for Blade magazine about his test of the effectiveness of a variety of rust preventatives on carbon steel. Briwax came in first, Ren wax second.

I don't own a Military 2 (probably never will), but I prefer tip down carry with the PM2, for the same reasons you outline, so it's likely I would also prefer tip down with the Military 2.
