Spyderco Forums

With a little over a hundred votes in slightly more than half are tip up. I thought it would be higher. Thank you for playing and keep voting and commenting. Here is a display of most of my Spyderco knives. (I've sold only one which I now regret, and given away eight.) Note that all of them have the...

Thanks for the tip.

Speaking of tips, back in the day
U.S. Army 30-06 ammo with black tips
was armor piercing.
In case it comes up at a cocktail party.

Would it not make a fine gift
from a loving father
to a daughter born in February
for which the birthstone is amethyst.

Thank you for playing.

It's been a while but I spotted a new to me brew. I have been avoiding all Anheuser Busch beers over the recent controversy about Bud Light, but my favorite pub here in Deep East Texas now has a new waitress. She is tall, broad shouldered and has a powerful build. I give up. https://lh3.googleuserco...

I do not have a picture but on a few occasions I have seen a single black squirrel here in East Texas. And on a trip in Washington state saw a number of black squirrels in a park. They are known as melanistic squirrels. My cousin was deer hunting on my place and saw a melanistic buck. She was too st...

The first consideration would be
the way the rifle is going to be used.

Long range bench rest type shooting
or packing it into the field and up mountains.
Shooting from improvised rests
or offhand snapshots
at uncertain ranges.

Scope weight, surprisingly, can vary a great deal.

That is a treasure.
You are correct.

"There are two basic types of white squirrels: albino and leucistic. Albinos have pink or blue eyes and no dark pigments anywhere on their bodies. Squirrels that have white coats and dark eyes are called leucistic."

Thank you.


She is missing one antenna.
Noticed her on my tailgate.
Thought it was a bug holding a leaf at first.
Did not move her or touch her
to set up the shot.

The kid said he didn't want to go home.
Said he wanted to stay here with me...

Springtime down under.
Looks like you got some rain.
Everything looks perked up.

A new Seecamp can be purchased from any gun store through a distributor. https://seecamp.com/how-to-purchase/ In 2014, Whalley Precision purchased Seecamp from Larry Seecamp, son of the founder, and moved operations to Southwick, Mass. Whalley had some quality problems early on which should be resol...

The cause of problems in the Seecamp is usually because some brands of cartridge are ever so slightly too long. Seecamp once recommended only using Winchester Silvertips back in the day. If you have access to a micrometer you will see what I mean. One enterprising owner made and sold go/no-go gauges...

When I was riding most of you were merely the gleam in your daddy's eye. The 1985 Yamaha V-Max sported the largest rear tire of any production motorcycle ever made and set a record for production motorcycles in the 1/4 mile. But it also marked the end of the era for naked, iron framed, carbureted mo...
