I agree with most of what was already posted concerning the error in judgement for knife selsection in this case.

Sounds like he just bought a Ferrari expecting it to go off road.

Do you have a sharpmaker? If so, buy diamond rods (ZDP likes em), then prop something under one side of the sharpmaker base to increase the angle of the rods one at a time. Sharpen away, but be prepared to scratch the blade, it is a fact of life sharpening at those angles. Or buy an EdgePro.

Spyderco tang font

When I was looking over my Caly Jr Grey FRN the other day (see Forgotten Spyders ) I noticed the font on the blade tang and wondered why they stopped using it. This is my favorite font on the blade: http://home.comcast.net/~rizobb/Spyderco/calyfont.jpg IMO this looks better than most of the others. ...

They actually work good too! I was surprised how much I liked them for edc utility type stuff. I was always under the impression that I would hate a tanto, but you get the benefits of a super strong tip, 2 distinct cutting tips, and a long straight blade. Plus when they have a super sharp hamuguri (...

Forgotten Spyders

Ever have one of those Spydercos that seem to be forgotten? I am referring to my Grey FRN Calypso Jr. I bought it on closeout from the SFO for a paltry $34.99!!! It has been outshined recently by all the superstar Caly3s and so on, but what a cool little knife! http://home.comcast.net/~rizobb/Spyder...

I would think naturally that they would cease production on the current Sage when tooling up for the next version of the Sage.

They do not make the old Police now that they make the new one, nor do they still produce the D3.

Just a thought and I may be waaaay off base.

Sal, I understand and did not mean to try to tell you anything you didn't know. I am the student here! :) The fix was really simple for my problem and does not warrant a design change that is for sure. I can't help my engineering type brain wants to try and fix everything whether it needs it or not!...
