Re: Spyderco and Abel join forces

Abel has a lot of loyal followers/collectors and those people pay top dollars for their anodized art. They truly are art pieces. I have several of their reels, but none that have the anodized art as they are out of my play money range. Would love to splurge on one someday.

Spyderco and Abel join forces

Not sure if this has been posted. I have always like the anodized fish scales Abel places on their reel. They do it again with Spyderco's Native 5. https://abelreels.com/products/fishing-tools/abel-native-5.html?utm_source=Abel+Reels%E2%84%A2+Newsletter&utm_campaign=bd832d6848-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_201...

Re: Bought my son his first knife for his birthday

I knew my son was finally ready after years of teaching him to respect both knives and firearms. He gets that there's a time and place for them. That they must be respected.

He wants to grow his collection. He's been eying my chubby. I might have to hide my spydies. Lol

Bought my son his first knife for his birthday

For sometime now my son has been asking for a knife. For his birthday he wanted to Bass Pro so he can check out knives. Not my first choice for places to buy or selections, but it where he wanted to go. Of course he wanted to handle every knife they had and in the end he went with a Spyderco Tenacio...

Knife suggestion for carving

I want to carve small totems (animals) out of blocks of wood no bigger than 2"x2". I like to get suggestions on Syderco knives that I should consider for the task.

Re: Paramilitary collection

You can't be married. Each purchase I make I have to either add to the honey do list or break her resolve not to let me buy more toys. Either way it ages me considerably. lol

Great collection you have there. :spyder:

Chubby arrived

Come home from work today and my wife handed me a delivery package. :)

It's a great little knife. Very well built. Blade has no play. Feels very substantial in hand. FYI, the clip will bite you if your not careful removing the knife from your pocket.

Re: Chubby has landed

Congratulations on your purchase. I've been eyeing that knife since several etailers have marked down the price. Today I pulled the trigger. I hope am as pleased as you once I have it in hand.

"Resistance is futile" I know cause I spent the last couple of days wearing my wife down and this morning she caved. :D I just placed an order with KW for a Chubby!

I found myself drooling over the pages. Spyderco definetly doesn't skimp on its Guides.

Best porn publications

The other day I received in the mail the Spyderco 2016 Product Guide and Mid-Year Product Guide. Best knife porn publications hands down! ;) What!? Did you guys think I was going to post about naughty porn? Tsk tsk tsk :p

Agreed, Darby, but I just checked this morning and it looks like SFO is out of stock on these. :( (I'm sure there are plenty of these NIB on the secondary market, though).
What is SFO?

Where can I find a comparison of blade steel? I like to learn more about CPM-S35VN and CPM-S110V
