:D Not quite! "AFI" stands for Aficionado.

Fixed blade all the way, buddy!

:spyder: :spyder: :cool: :spyder: :spyder: Son of a *****, those originals look alot different than the Chinook3's :eek: What do they weigh, compared to the 3's? :D

The Chinook (now called the Chinook I) weighs 7.25 ounces, as opposed to the II and III, which are slated to weigh around 6 to 6.25 ...

LOL :D Must have been a group of haters. Speaking of MB, are you a fan, like I am, of his earlier stuff, like Blackjack?

Why didn't you just start singing "How can we be lovers if we can't be friends" to 'em, or at least threaten to call Kenny G over so he could hit 'em with his sax? :p :D

I'm 31 years old, but I look 41 and act 21. Go figure. :D

I will just continue boycotting knives made by any "other company that uses the round hole!"

Sal, at least you can sleep at night knowing that you are and always will be considered one of the premier innovators in the knife industry! That, in my opinion, is much more than can be said for others ...

You know Sundown, you are absolutely right, I have no integrity...I did what I did and I have no regrets. You are taking the side of the big corporation because of your former job of stopping loss in your store. I understand your point of view but have no sympathy for a store like Wal-Mart. You ...

The first post :

Just got a plain edge native from wal-mart last night for FREE!! that's right FREE!! I had it in the top of my shopping cart and when the guy was ringing up my groceries and other items he placed the bags on top of the Spydie, covering it and never rang it up! I walked out ...

Chad,
Aloha, brother! :) As I sit here, looking at my Subcoms & Lava, I can't help but realize that, when it comes to SD knife design, you know your stuff!! :cool: I have seen a lot of trollish comments made by a person who has a checkered past on the forums, not to mention, has no idea what they're ...

I hate to see any Spyderco knives discontinued, because I love them all. However, I predict that at least five of the following fifteen knives will go the way of the Spyderco Dodo:
- Navigator II
-Ocelot
-Persian 75mm
-Adventura
-Kris
-Poliwog
- D'allara ( one of the two models )
-Native (II or III ...

The Ontario/Hossom folders are made by Fox cutlery, as are the Spyderco/Hossom fixed blades. Both collaborations (Ontario/Hossom-folders & Spyderco/Hossom-fixed) are made with N690 blade steel & green canvas micarta handles.

What kind of perplexes me is why Jerry didn't stick with one company ...

I'm 30 and work for a College PD. Prior to my current job, I worked part-time as a non-sworn, Public Service Assistant for a City PD. From age 18 up until a few years ago, while in College, I worked in the private sector, doing Retail Loss Prevention/Investigation for several well-known companies ...

The Chinook II was tested by Cold Steel in an attempt to design a stronger folder. They found the locking mechanism on the Chinook II would withstand upwards of 1,000 lbs of pressure before starting to fail


Where did you happen to come upon that interesting piece of info, Zac? And what ended up ...

WhyNot,
How about people posting that they have an answer, and then PM'ing you with the actual answers. That would keep the thread up, and would spare the people playing/reading from seeing the answers before the game is through.

P.S. Thanks again for a great game! :)

This is a tale of two companies, each trying to persuade the discriminating buyer to go with their product. The problem is, company A decided to take "the higher road", causing company B to become vex ed. Company B decided to cause a skirmish and snipe d away at company A, causing the native s to ...

B: Jester?
H: No idea, could be an Impala or Jester again. Not sure


How'd I do ]

I'm sure you're right on B, in fact, I'd even go Jester w/ Micarta handle. H is definitely not a Jester (think Impala), just look at the spine swedge & number of grooves. ;)

Best wishes,
Sundown
