Re: Usual Suspect Network V2 website is up

USN is a great forum and there are some really big Spyderco fans there.

Re: Fat guy problem: I keep losing knives when they're clipped to my pocket

Stop eating sugar. Work out. Get tough. I don't mean to be an A**hole. Your health can never be replaced. Everything else can. You only have one health. If not, get a neck knife.

Re: Cliff Stamp has passed away

This is sad. I had very deep respect for Cliff. I just saw this. Don't do the knife forums like I used to. His test of the original Busse SHBM was the first time I encountered him on the net. I still have several SHBM because of him. How many years ago was that? Anyway I followed him on and off for ...

Re: Do you use your Spyderco or just collect them?

I use my users and collect knives I know I will never use. I have a 25th Anniversary Delica on my desk that was a knife I bought because it was such a work of art. I take it out of the box from time to time and just look at the Damascus Spiders and think how amazingly creative that work was. I don't...

Re: Blurple - ing more Golden Models

S110V has become my favorite steel for folders. I carry my Blurple Military everyday. Best utility knife I have ever used. I personally hate the Blurple. I wish they would do a run with black G10 or carbon fiber handles. I would not buy either of those models because I am fine with my Military and P...

Re: Carter Design & Galley V combo.

That looks wicked sharp. I have a Galley V and CBN stones now but have yet to get them out of the box and work with them.

Re: Carter Design & Galley V combo.

Thank you for the post. I just started my Spyderco Kitchen knife collection. I will be picking up a Galley V and the CBN stones. These knives are so sharp from the factory and I am no chef, so they will stay sharp for a while with my limited use. I still use my Military folder for a lot of kitchen d...

Re: Spyderco Kitchen knives. Amazing.

This is one of the main arguments I hear on this forum. You can get similar performance for less. Basically Spyderco is over priced. You could get 3 knives and beer and sandwiches for the price of one Spyderco. I bet I could get 4 knives and beer, sandwiches plus chips for the price of one Spyderco....

Spyderco Kitchen knives. Amazing.

I have been buying knives for longer than I can remember. I have dozens of Spyderco's. I have dozens of other brands and customs. I never even blink at spending money on a knife I want. Yet, I had for the my entire life the crappiest kitchen knives that you could own. I can sharpen a knife so I thou...

Re: Warranty woes

I agree on selling parts. There are vendors on Ebay selling after market screws and parts and when restoring an old 2 screw clip Military a while back I got some missing handle screws from an EBay vendor. They worked fine.

Original Lil Temp, green handle and leaf blade I still have my Lil Temp SE that I bought in 2005. It is one of my favorite knives of all time on my life long knife journey.

Re: Past Spyderco PE Only Models You Want In Full SE?

I have 3 Military's in SE. One in ATS-34, one in 440V and one in S30V. I think these are the only steels they did the Military with a SE. I would be interested in another SE Military in a different steel to add to the collection.

I have several Yojimbo's and that would be cool in SE.
