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 notic...

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...

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 w...

Touché. However I think it’s a responsible assumption. I can’t think of many other reasons why someone would get upset about it. He's just virtue signaling at this point. He knows how badly he hijacked this thread and now he’s looking for any way he can to dodge accountability. Trying to claim the ...

Re: Shaman 15V, Bad QC

Complaints about the practice of flipping does NOT mean someone missed out on the knife du jour in question. Big assumption by a lot of folks. ;) Side note: if you feel this way the knife is still available at Knife Center. Actually, no. It went OOS 30 minutes prior to your post. Touché. However I ...

Re: Shaman 15V, Bad QC

I also agree that tempers and passions don't need to flare up anywhere near as high as they have. Personally, I'm quite relaxed in making the comments I have, and I tend to grant the same assumption that everyone else that's defending flipping and scalping aren't seething with rage either. I'm just...

I don't understand how some don't realize that the topic moved on from the OP in specific, to generalized flipper discussion, quite a few pages ago... Again, QC issues aside.

The first part of your response doesn't bear remark (other than this) due to the ludicrous nature. Good, then it was clear, at least to you. I'm sure it won't be to everyone. :eye-roll Yes, it's ludicrous, it seems that things need to be taken to an extreme to make a point. Quite stupid. :pleading ...

Flipper talk... ;) Thinking about it. I could’ve bought numerous 15V Manix, PM2, and now Shaman. I don't even want them and yet I've still had ample opportunity to buy one.
