Re: Sal, Mike Janich, would it be too forward?

My typical daily pocket dump (all pockets) wold include; LFP - cell phone, 10X folding loupe, keys (cut down to save weight and space), lip gloss (dry in Colorado and my skin is so dry that when I walk into a room, I change the humidity), eye drops (dry eyes). Often a 2nd knife. RFP - wallet, knife...

Re: Shipping of internal parts

Just pick 4 of your biggest online distribution customers in the US and 2 in the EU and give them access to parts They would stock them as a chance of buying another knife whilst browsing parts ( Knifecentre has to be one of them, because I use them because Australia is as dear as poison ) I like t...

Re: OD Green PM2?

All this talk and not very many pictures! Ha. I'd LOVE to see more images of this color combo...OD green is hard to photo and looks pretty different in different lights... Anyone up to showing us a few shots of this knife's different moods? Please? I'm debating this (as my first PM2) or getting the ...

Re: First person to guess all my Spydies WINS $*$*$*$

Since she was the quickest on the draw...Spydergirl88 is the winner!

Although, A big honorable mention goes to captnvegtbl for getting them all EXACTLY correct, down to the edge grinds and scale materials, only 6 minutes after!

First person to guess all my Spydies WINS $*$*$*$

Hello all. As a thanks for being the best forum members out there.... I have a coupon, direct from Spyderco, for 50% off an order from spyderco.com. From my understanding, it's for any purchase amount, any number of items. I'm not going to use it as I am flat broke and cant justify any more knives f...

Re: Anyone rock a Kiwi 4?

Wow. I wonder how many more Kiwi 4's will be sold before the year is through, solely because of Evil D's post! Ha. He should get a commission!

Thanks!

Anyone rock a Kiwi 4?

Seems like this little guys flies under the radar a bit. Anyone use/carry one? Why and when? Pros, cons, pics?

Comparisons?

Thanks. For whatever reason, I'm suddenly intrigued!

Re: Need help on a new slim EDC - no lockbacks

I love the size of the Chap. Lots of blade packed into a slim and compact and beautiful handle. Yes, it's a lock back, but the 50/50 choil makes it so that you can quickly flip it around, depress the lock with your thumb and then flick the blade closed. The choil just whack-stops on your finger, saf...

Re: Spyderco sighting in the wild

My good buddy's wife was out hiking recently and she found an old SS Dragonfly spyder edge on the trail! I sharpened it up and two days later, my buddy (who monitors bighorn sheep for the California fish and wildlife) used it to do an in-field dissection of a dead ewe. I'll post a picture if that's ...

Re: Pick my last Spydie of 2015!

Pretty much leaning towards PM2 Endura FFG or DF2 G-10 The Endura is exactly half the price of the PM2....which is a bummer if I get the PM2, but nice if I get the Endura I think I do want a longer bladed knife ( > 3") so these two stand out... The Endura is kind of redundant, as far as FRN and...

Re: Pocket knife perfection---Chaparral

Well...I went to lightly sharpen mine and expose a little new steel before I put it into use, and found.... ...that the factory grinds are extremely uneven between sides. One side is pretty close to 15 (a little more actually) but the other is larger than 20! In other words, the 40 degree Sharpmaker...

Re: Pocket knife perfection---Chaparral

Thanks for the inspiration guys. I carried my Chap today for the first time...around the house! Ha. Baby steps... Seriously though, before I take her out into the big bad world, any suggestions on what to do to the edge? I was thinking a few strokes on the Sharpmaker to uncover a little fresh steel ...
