Spyderco Forums

When I carried a Gunting, I had Robert Humelbaugh, doing business as Survival Sheath Systems, make several kydex (or the similar Concealex) belt sheaths. These have the earlier version of the Blade-tech full-sized Tech-lok. I also bought one of Michael Sastre's kydex sheaths, for a narrow belt width...

After several escapes from pockets, notably including losing my Mariner and badly damaging my Military's clip and the associated screw holes, I never clip a highly valuable knife into a pants pocket anymore. Various cords, slings, vest and jacket hems, vines, branches, and even the rim of a vehicle'...

We had record-breaking warmth here in SE Texas, too, but that just ended, with a system that may well keep going with enough strength to reach LI NY.

No, not really.

I have Ronins and a Temperance, and they are too different to rank, each blade/handle design being suited to some tasks, and less-suited for others. In each case, these are the originals; I bought most of my present knives from the Nineties to about 2004. It is not that newer Spyderco products are n...

I am not skilled in the art of typing supportive words. I will pray for y'all.

My sum total is somewhat high, though not nearly as much as a serious collector, but the number of different Spyderco models quite low. Knowing that most models do not endure in the line, and my tendency to lose or break things, I bought several Guntings, more than several Ronins, two Civilians, and...

My usual EDC, an Assist. The only thing different about the day after Thanksgiving is that I start working extra hours. As the rest of the world starts shopping, my patrol division (big-city PD) puts extra folks on duty in and near the shopping areas. The Assist is a nearly-perfect knife for a publi...

Just saw this today; a prayer will follow, in a moment. Heal well!

Well, it is just a fun/daydream, as it would be so very unlikely to happen, but, OK, a small run of the Bram Frank Gunting would open my wallet. No folder I have found, before or since, has fit my hand as well, right or left hand, forward or reverse grips, edge in or out. Excellent steels, and excel...

Rest in peace.

78 views and no replies. Somehow I am surprised. I was one who viewed your post, but I have not watched a movie in over two years, except perhaps for one DVD I bought. I do listen to BBC, on the radio, during quiet moments at work, which are becoming rarer. Life is, indeed, incredibly cheap in some...

Happy Nineteenth Birthday!

I check this forum most days, but less than once a day. Once upon a time, with a different user name, probably around the 2002 to 2004 time period, I visited more regularly. There were times, since, that I visited only occasionally. My favored Spyderco knives reflect my time of greatest forum activi...

When I had a molar removed several years ago, the dentist decided to try punching a bit above his weight, and attempted to remove the adjacent wisdom tooth, which was impacted, but still concealed beneath the gum line. (The molar had a hidden cavity, that was not discovered in time to save the tooth...

I carried quite big knives when I rode motorcycles, an Al Mar SERE folder and a Spyderco Rescue. I did not want anything dangling/protruding from my motorcycle key. An Assist is now EDC, though I have not ridden for about 20 years. (As a single dad, I felt the need to reduce risk; with my son now gr...

Might want to check out Thunderware.....or something similar...Yup it's a groin holster, double slotted You decide Hundgun butt direction....(Nylon waistband unit with velcro)I have carried dual Ruger Sp101 comfortably to the beach wearing swim shorts..(warning: does drive the wife crazy)..that sai...

It is interesting, and good, to see this, as we will be traveling to Tennnessee in November for SAR canine training, and large blades have always seemed to be a wise thing to have when moving through heavily vegetated areas. I look forward to my home state of Texas relaxing more of its blade laws so...

Scorpion Knives lists some interesting Bushcraft knives and larger parang-styled choppers, and even F-S daggers. I recently obtained a pre-owned but unused Chris Caine Survival Tool, one of the parang-styled choppers, from a USA seller on an internet auction site, which prompted me to search for, an...

Rest in peace.
