Re: Less than 3" Blade, Deep Pocket, $40-$100 Options?

I'll pile on and agree with what the others have said. Chaparral or Dragonfly. I bought a LNIB Chap of the BF Exchange yesterday that was well within your price range. So good deals are out there if you watch for them. The Dragonfly is one of my favorites. Meets all your requirements too! The Native...

Re: Manix2 Light Weight

The Manix2 LW S110V is a great value for the money. You should get one :) ^ Enabler! :) I have both too. I bought the LW used and it's incredibly light for a knife this size. Almost feels strange to handle it after using the tank-like G10 version. I think what impresses me most is how freely the bl...

The MFF just takes a little practice. Once you figure it out and do it for a while it becomes second nature.

Re: getting manix 2 smooth

Hmm...I've always regarded the Manix 2 as one of the smoothest knives in the catalog because of the lock, so this is new to me. Lets clarify something though.. When you say "smooth", I think about how the action in the pivot feels, not the force it takes to move the blade. So, in this way...

Re: Sharpmaker Failure

If I could make one suggestion that would be to go slow and take your time until you really get the hang of it. Also, when you get down near the tip be careful not to drag it across the stone and round it off. Recently, after watching some vids on Youtube, I've started only using one side at a time ...

Re: Share your Valentine's Day Spyderco Stories

I had a pretty dang good spyderco valentines day. Since me and my girlfriend are low on funds (recently out of college), we decided it might be fun to go to the flea market together and pick out gifts for each other that would be cheaper and unique. As we browsed around, I saw the little spyderco l...

Re: Dragonfly: ZDP blade into stainless scales?

Plus the stainless has the old style still - might not even fit. This is probably correct. The SS is a Dfly 1 (original) and the BRG ZDP Dfly is s Dfly 2... Find yourself someone to make some nice custom scales for a G10 Dfly 2 and swap your ZDP blade into it! ;) http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/...
