Re: Just a simple thanks

Just pulled the trigger on purchasing a Mamba. Hopefully it's a legit one as the seller seems reputable on eBay, but the cost was "only" $220. Fingers crossed. If it turns out to be a fake, I will certainly report.

Re: Just a simple thanks

Just a simple thanks

Long time lurker, first time posting. Just wanted to give a huge thanks for all the knowledge I've acquired here. From sharpening ideas to micro bevels and patinas. Thank you guys. Though I don't currently have a spiderco (lack of funding lol) I do hope to pretty soon. Attaching a few photos of ...
