Re: Awesome YouTube Video by Lance Clinton (AKA Surfingringo)

I really wonder about the people on this forum. You admire some guy who just FOs all day with equipment that his sponsors give him. Of course he has a story of how he got there, don't all the trustfundarians tell how hard it's been? You people are freaks. I prefer the company of working-class slobs ...

Re: Knife insurance

I understand viewing has statements with skepticism, but his language difficulties may also be caused by mental impairment, which would also explain some of his views. Whatever the case may be, I think it's in poor taste to mock him.

The guy did say in another post that English is not his first language. You could show a little more respect.

Re: Sal too thin tips on spyderco

The points on the Yojimbo and Civilian are acute and those knives are designed for defense. Perhaps a point as sharp as the PM2 might be more of an asset than a liability.

Re: Manix 2 XL - Ball Lock Too Stiff - Hints?

These springs do not break in. I didn't think they would. I am reminded of stories I have read of 1911 handgun magazines that had been stored full of ammo, for decades, with the springs still working like new after all that time. Precisely. The change that occurs may be reduced friction of the movi...

Re: Crappy service & product

The last time I lost a knife, I complained for two days, but I had no one to blame.

Now that I think about it, I'm still a little mad.

Outside of gardening, I seldom use serrations and even then I often prefer my Otter messer.

Re: What Spyderco have you lent to a friend, who broke it through mishandling?

As soon as I hear, "Lemme see your knife", I know that they're about to use it as a gasket scraper, can opener, etc. I've had more than one tool returned to me in two pieces. I don't supply tools for the crew.

Re: Slicing apples

I use whatever knife happens to be with me and cut the apple from one end to the other without much in the way of deep thought. Then I eat it.
