Re: ATR 2 first impressions

I exchanged mine with GPK (great customer service) due to poor centering and stiff action. Now that I have an excellent sample I’m still just not feeling a connection with this piece, I really wanted to love this knife. I’ll probably sell it and move on...

Re: New Models Dropped: ATR 2, Para 3 Maxamet


Thanks again to Mark's Outdoors in Vestavia Hills, AL for letting me handle and photograph their knives.

ATR 2:
This is a big and burly knife. It's interesting, too big and heavy for my taste. The blade is more of a heavy-use cutter, with a strong tip ...

ATR 2 first impressions

I thought I’d share my first impressions after my first 12 hours with the ATR 2. I’ve been waiting a long time for the knife but now that I have it I’m kind of “meh” on it so far. Since they are close in size I’m going to compare it a little with the PM2, only other compression lock knife I have ...

Re: Delica rattles?

thank you, when I gently squeeze the grip it gives a little as if it might not be tight....and no rattle when I shake it. I'll try to figure out what size bit the screws take, and tighten them a bit

Delica rattles?

1st thanks to everyone for the great advice and kindness I have received here, you are a great community! So I bought my very first knife recently, A Delica4 with VG-10 blade. I love the knife but when I have the blade close and shake the knife, I can hear and feel the blade slightly rattling inside ...

New to knives sharpening question

I just purchased my 1st knife ever, a Spyderco Delica4 Lightweight FRN Flat Ground PlainEdge Knife! It's arriving Monday and I'm already thinking about how to care for/sharpen it. It won't be seeing any outdoor use, just mostly for opening boxes and plastic packages at work and light duty at home ...
