<-- another Edge Pro guy. Wouldn't trade it for a spotted hog.

I just edited my reply. It was two years ago, but I think she told me the clothes washer was safe, in a pants pocket. Not the dishwasher. I think that is correct.

When I called the Spyderco warranty folks about my Manix 2, the woman told me that the easiest way to clean a lot of grit and sand in the lock and pivot was to put it in the dishwasher washing machine in your pants pocket. So they have faith in it. I've never needed to do that, but it's good to know...

I would be so afraid of getting even the smallest scuff or scratch on it that I would keep it in the safe and only touch occasionally to fondle and admire. That's the struggle I have; buying something so expensive and it serve no other ...

That'll learn ya. Or maybe not.

Is it April Fools day?

I don't use my chef's knives on anything but food. Otherwise they might roll an edge.

I was dating a Chinese girl once. I was showing some of her family members my rifle collection, including some WW2 rifles with battlefield provenance. I explained that the markings on the rifles told its history and could drive up the value for collectors. Her sister in law looked at a Finnish Mosin...
