Daaaang.....
I dont think I could find that much time in a day to shave.


I guess it depends on the beard. I need about 4-5 minutes with an electrical shaver, so the actual shaving time is not all that different for me. I was curious myself, so I clocked it a few times. Besides, a good thing ...

I heard that turkish barbers can shave so close that the first stubbles will show after more than a day. They probably intimidate the hairs. :D


I believe it. When I shave with a straight razor, the first stubbles will show at least half a day later than otherwise. It is because good soap will ...

No electric shaver will ever approach even remotely the closeness you get from a straight razor. The difference is vast. I use an electric shaver during the work week because it is fast and easy. I can do it while still half asleep, but in terms of performance it doesn't compare. So on the weekend I ...

I find it rather "funny" that the box behind it says "Spyderco Round Hole" in the drawing of the knife, where the hole should be, while the knife shown, clearly doesn't have a round hole :rolleyes: .

No thanks. Personally, I have no problem with carrying two knives: One fully serrated and one plain edge. Any of the partially serrated variances hold no interest of mine.

I think your questions are a bit too general to be answered. Just a few posts down from this one there is one called "quick rundown of Spyderco steels": http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32670
Which might answer some questions.

Words like "supersteel" and "best steel" are usually ...

I have no interest in CE. For those few selected applications, I want the full-length cutting power of SE, for everything else I prefer PE. CE is neither fish nor flesh. As always only my $0.02.

You can always give them a call. That's what I would do. Sometimes it takes them some time to take pics and post them on the website. A quick call would clarify this. And they are wonderful people to talk to.

Not claiming to be an expert but I get my ZDP-189 Caly sharper than any other stainless steel knife. I use, however, waterstones.

My experience with ZDP is, that it burrs very little, so you don't have to worry about that much. This is why I very much doubt that you have a wire edge giving you ...

this has been buging me for a while, instead of making new or uniqu knives spyderco seems to be using the same model over and over again (like the endura) and just changing the handle material, this happens with alot of other models to, i dont want a blue endura to carry on mondays and thursdays ...

Which Spyderco's are MBC rated is the next question??!!
If anyone knows please unfold the secret :p

I would guess;

Manix - yes
minimanix - yes
Para-Milly - first production runs very likely not, later models: yes
Milly??? - no
Chinook - yes
Yojimbo - yes
Lil'Temp - yes
Persians??? - no
Kriss ...

The following is purely my own humble opinion and I don't want to start a flame war:

To compare any frame lock, especially the Strider that I have seen, against a knife like the RAO seems to me like a bad joke. My conservative estimate is that the lock on the RAO (without the addtional pin) is ...

A lot of people are usually disappointed to hear this, and some simply won't accept it, but I couldn't name a single frame lock that is as strong as one of the stronger lockbacks.

In principle, the question is useless as you can engineer any lock to be the strongest lock. You simple take a certain ...

Congratulations!

All the best to the three of you!

I have noticed that the clip on my Salt1 plain,which is one of the older Salt models are steel clips and not titanium like on my newer/latest Salt1,which ive noticed having a definite titanium clip.anyone know the reason for this?

In the first year or so, when the first Salts were released ...

I, for myself, don't post as often as I used ... House, work,you know the drill...


I have been gone for nearly a year....there was a move, trying to find a new job, ....you know the drill :) .

And, hey, there is the same (stupid) Strider thread running around on the off-topic forum that was so ...

Happy Birthday, Daywalker!

I am no collector, I use all my knives and the Lil'T is not one I would willingly depart with. It is very high on my list of favorite Spydies and knives in general.

I doubt you would be able to bend or break an Atwood Prybaby. For the limited leverage they offer, they are plenty strong.

Happy Birthday, Zen!
