Looks good. Nice job!

On a side note, it'd be great to see Spyderco offer some factory custom scales, i.e. carbon fiber, canvas/linen micarta, etc.

I'd have to agree with this sentiment.

My Southard had to take up the slack for a world-renowned tacticool lightsaber that was having trouble with box tear-down duties. And, ohhh did it take up the slack… ;)

Ok, I'm from the South and while southern food will always be my favorite…but man, I flat luvs me some Korean food. The spicier the better. ****, I'll even eat kimchi with pizza.

Also get down on some Italian and Mexican food. I'm talking authentic, not Taco Bell or frozen-food-section stuff.

I don't plan on buying a knife from ANY dealer outside the US, so not currently a big concern of mine. Now, when we start to hear stories of State-side dealers trying to pass off fakes as the real thing, then we have a major problem. I could very well see how someone that's prone to less-than-honest...

Career military. Just hit 20-years this past October. Ten months from now I'll be a retiree. It'll be 21 years, and four months total...and trying to start a second career at 39. Most likely will try to get into contracting/GS here in Korea.

Hmmmm…whenever I'm State-side really kinda whatever I'm in the mood for - 1911, Sig P220/228, Glock 19, S&W 1006, CZ P-01, etc. Mostly an ivory-handled Colt Commander IWB stoked w/ some 230-gr. gold dots, and a spare mag. Good enough for me.
