One :spyder: normally, MeerKat.

Of late I have carried a BenchMade rescue hook in the other pocket.

Have a Rescue in my medical bag, another in my overalls when doing "fun" stuff. Often drop a Delica in the top of my pack as well.

I use a very short lanyard on the end of my rescue. It’s an inch long, tied using a double fisherman’s knot. It is there to allow me to clip the knife to small karabiner. The krab in term is used to hang the :spyder: in my harness, of front strap of my pack. Has worked well for me over the ten or so...

I glad you are ok I.V. Weather carrying a weapon on or off duty I would have thought that your training would kick in almost immediately and your actions be virtually automatic. Not always the case. I know of a ED nurse, who has seen more than her fair share of blood etc, become a total wreck (&...

Is it time to take my kat to the vet?

Hi All, I EDC a Meerkat when I’m in town. It’s a great little blade, does every thing I ask of it. I noticed yesterday that the blade has a bit of sideways movement in it. It looks like the sides of the knife move a little too when there is lateral pressure on the blade. Should I be worried? Thanks ...

Hi all, Could someone please let me know what the blades in the attached picture are? The seller says Delica and Dragonfly. He says the steel is AUS-8 and AUS-8A, lengths are 170mm opened and 135mm long opened. The bottom one looks like a Dragonfly but the top one??? :confused: The rounded point :co...

Hi all - just popping in for a sec

Hi All, Sorry I have not been about much of late. My wife and I have moved out of Christchurch to a farm house near to Darfield. I have had very little free time since getting here. The boxes just don’t want to unpack themselves, and an hours drive every morning and then an hour back after work chew...

I love my Delica. The only :spyder: I would by choice EDC over it is my Standard, which is really a G10 Delica in my books. The Delica was the 1st Spyderco I meet. Fell in love with it on the spot. Great knife. That said I'm forced to EDC a Meerkat most of the time based on size of blade and low poc...

I was thinking of getting one myself. What are they like to use? The blade looks really short vs the handel. Are they strong enough to take the sort of abuse the a larger FB would get as a hikers knife? Sorry to play 20 questions. For some reason the NZ importer does not bring in more the half a doz...
