Fine Done. :mad:

Stinks here anyway.

Simple question and fifteen smartass replys

Don't take me long to find out the truth.

I think I am going back to using and buying only Strider Knives, I will continue to use my Buck Striders also the warranty with a Strider and Buck on the Collaboration Striders is bar none way better than anything in this industry. Also there is no mystery with sharpening at the factory. Mick or Dua...

Why wouldn't Sal tell me? Whats the big secret at Spyderco? That seems stupid to me to not tell me or others how it is done at the factory. **** couldn't I take a factory tour and see fo rmyself how its done. If it is a machine I would hide that fact also. Makes for a crap edge in my book. I can mak...

I love GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy them almost as frequently as I get Spydercos each year around 2 to 3 a year. Last two guns I purchased are the Smith and Wesson 1911 .45 and the SW99 Compact in .40 cal Everyone should own a gun its a right, says so right there on that Constitution of ours l...

Maybe Sal can answer this? What degree is the Manix edge sharpened at from the factory? How is it done there in Colorado? Slack Belt? Stone? Machine?

It looks to me that the edge is at or near 25 or maybe 25.5 degrees???

Just wondering.

Thanks

Sheeple Factor Para Military -No reaction, everyone who has viwed me using it at work has no comments. Manix -big gasp, that thing is big. I just smiled. Cut a very thick box in half then in half again for dumpster Emerson Commander waved open real eye popper, one guy wanted to see it done again. Th...

Lets see everything I carry and where it is.... Para Military Right back pocket, Manix in right front pocket. Sure-Fire 6P in Eagle Industries Pouch on belt left side. Spare Mag for SIG P239 behind flashlight. SIG P239 IWB in Desantis holster right rear hip. Keys go on D-Ring with lanyard clip to be...

Your going to like the Manix. Mine is CE version and I have to say a great knife. I generally do not like or carry lock backs but this one on the Manix has my trust. It will not fail. The thing locks up with a WHACK sound thats really cool. I always check lock backs for the annoying verticle play an...

Thanks for the info Sal. Its always cool to see what the owner of the company is carrying. I remember seeing Ernest Emerson at the NY show with a P-Sark Trainer model and a Commander. Its also interesting when an owner carrys a regular model not some one off, or a super custome piece he made and no ...

I wonder what Sal's collection looks like? Does he have one? If he does I imagine it to be every Spyderco made all starting with the number 1

Or all the proto types of all the knives?

So come on Sal what are you carrying whats in your collection

For one thing Sal you are not the one that needs to do the "I'm sorry bit" Its Mr. Mick Strider who comes into your house and s**ts. His hissy fit was uncalled for and it has been his MO to do this on various forums. This time he was way wrong in thinking you are bad mouthing him, or if th...

Don't be sorry, great topic. Good points made. I will however add my SNG did not have the Hinderer thing. My lock would move under hard grip and if I held the blade and moved it side to side the lock wandered around. It moved far inboard towards the frame on hard grip which is good but when releasin...

I have to comment on this one. As a guy who has owned both Spydercos and Striders. I have had a Strider BT Fixed Blade since 1999. Great knife and it has done it all. Chopping trees, clearing stone and dirt, for a hide. Just a general all around knife it cuts well and holds an edge it is in ATS-34. ...

I also do not understand how someone can go through the day with out a knife! If I had a buck for everytime I was asked "could I borrow your knife" or "do you have a knife?" I would be rich many times over. Your points are well made. I also have carried a knife since I was 10 a l...

I know my Manix in S30V is not the same blade shape as the Military S30V but I doubt bone would chip the point off my Manix. I have had several heavy impacts on the tip, even digging through crushed stone to find a screw I dropped to a new door I was installing. ,the tip was not hurt by this. The Ma...

The latest report I watched on Fox News at 6:00 am this morning EST said the death toll is now at 44,000 overall, this number will go up. My heart goes out to all who have been hurt by this. I have lived through Huricanes in Florida, and massive snow storms, but nothing can compare to this. Total de...

I have been using the 204 now for 3 years and replaced only a white stick due to a drop onto the floor of my work area.

I have yet to see wear on the brown sticks, and I have sharpened at least one knife every day on the S 204.

Its the best thing I have used to put the edge on a knife.

Most of the makers I have had kydex sheaths from required the knife. This is so the fit matches that knife and is perfect. There are slight differences in the sheaths at times that make individual fitting a must. Although with a tension screw this is less of an issue, but if it is press fit kydex th...

YEAH I never thought of that stick it to the back of the fridge instant back up defense knife!!!!!

It does appear to be going away though intially it would stick!

Now it only picks up a few paper clips
