Re: Are there any hunters out there?

I always carry a folder into the field when hunting, but I always have a fixed blade or two on me as well, either in a bag/pack or on a belt sheath.

I’m not sticking a folder up into the chest cavity to cut the trachea and getting other various blood and guts into the nooks and crannies unless I ...

Re: New Mule Team Scale and Sheath Vendor


Please note that this StonerCNC comfortable grip set does not fit to Mule Team™ Boltaron® Sheath.


No, it does not. Would you have assumed it did?

The scales look nothing alike, they have a completely different cross-sectional geometry, as noted in my post. That is why StonerCNC makes their own ...

Re: Is Maxamet from Taiwan "better" than from USA?


One might also note that the pictures posted by the OP represent the entire population of broken Maxamet knives available on the Internet: nine (9) knives. I know there have been primitive cultures that counted, "1, 2, many" but I don't think most of us here would consider nine knives to be "many ...

Re: Spyderco Photo of the Week - Book

Well, I just submitted my handful of images. I thought I had posted more of them in the POTW thread, but many were just in the general forum, and MANY others over on BladeForums. Oh well, some of my best work were posted elsewhere, too bad.

Hope the project comes to fruition and many more images ...

As has been said before, if use the non-winning photographs from the Forum Calendar Contest competition for a book, you'll end up with many interesting, high-quality shots.

New Mule Team Scale and Sheath Vendor

This was posted over on Blade Forums, but I thought it might be worth cross posting here too.

A new vendor is making MT scales and sheaths, and they're pretty sweet. I don't know if I can mention them here or not, but the company name is StonerCNC. I won't go as far as to link them, but shouldn't ...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?

I’ll echo everyone’s sentiment that these could have come sharper. Also, my pair were clearly sharpened by different people (or at very least, someone who was still learning and then had figured it out awhile later), as the edge grinds are significantly different between the two. I immediately ...

Re: Best Spyderco for Backpacking

Not all backpacking is created equal. Only going in 3-5 miles, and close to "civilization", you can likely get away with just a folder. I carry my Spyderco K2, but still a small and large fixed blade here in Colorado. Things can go sideways pretty fast in our back country, I'm not going to be caught ...

Re: I'm in love with Ultem...

The color of the material puts me off. It very much reminds me of old-school SLA parts. Those were great for rapid prototyping and light test pieces, but the material wasn't all that strong and was not stable as a long-term product (it's still very plastic, and did move a LOT over time; parts that ...

Touché. However I think it’s a responsible assumption. I can’t think of many other reasons why someone would get upset about it.
