Re: Upping the price.

Is anyone giving any thought to what is being posted? Has anyone read all of the posts and thought about what they are posting before they hit th...

Re: Upping the price.

To those of you who do not want to pay for Spyderco products, I say depart and do not return. Either trust those managing the creation of Spyderco products or find another manufacturer that pleases you. Spyderco the corporation, the First Family of Spyderco, it's employees and fans do not need you t...

Re: Scientists found nanoplastics in arteries

I'd much rather use glass over anything plastic. Paper over anything plastic. Bamboo is a good product and it grows fast. We just stopped buying milk in plastic and we have it delivered in glass now. Stop buying anything in plastic. Look for glass containers or butcher wrapping paper for fish and me...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco

So long as AI does not infringe (intellectual property; job opportunities), Job opportunities? Technology always eliminates jobs. Have you seen a car factory lately? It may create new job opportunities but on the whole it’s rare to see an increase in low skilled jobs when a technology takes hold. E...

Re: What is the best application to tool steel for long term storage?

It is not messy like an oil or lubricant that will be all over everything and destroy paper and boxes used to store knives. You really have to be gu...

Re: Scientists found nanoplastics in arteries

I saw that. You know, that means that the stuff clogging up arteries is not simply cholesterol and statins will do little good. The question is, how to remove the plastic? Also, I remember seeing a study somewhere that being overweight is often tied to plastic from bottles, bags, etc. that we inges...

Re: Tracking the prices of knives over the years

I have a Dell Alienware that went down over a year ago and those internal drives have the most recent information on the knives and prices paid over the years (before I sold off 1/2 of them off). I have several other external WD Drives where things were backed up, and unfortunately WD sold me a bad ...
