Looks just like mine - pre-CQI Jan 2019 manufacture - and it locks up the same today as it did five years ago.
So long as your Chef's lock-up is secure, I wouldn't expend too much energy nitpicking over the percentages.. use the knife; if the lock ever fails, Spyderco will take care of it.

Re: Cold Steel Talk
I've recently become a *little* interested in the AD15 Lite. It looks like a cool, fun design. It's also fairly low-priced. IF I ever buy another knife ever again in the future. My main hesitation around it is I don't trust that the pocket clip isn't a pocket eater, like every other CS pocket clip....

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
CKW is a drop-shipper.. my understanding is they maintain a number of online sales channels, but don't keep a physical storefront or large inventory on hand anywhere in one specific location, so orders will ship from all over depending on what you order and where the inventory is located, i.e a whol...

Re: Vote: Kick? Choil? Forward? Other?
Depends on the design for me.. obviously, a choil works best on smaller knives.. and I do really like various knives featuring each of the choices.. but generally..if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick one.. I most prefer handle forward designs, be they from Spyderco or other makers..

Re: RIP - Toby Keith
I'm not a huge country guy, but I used to go to his concerts with a group of friends who were really into him. I went to 4-5 shows between maybe 2008 and 2015.. that man was an entertainer, it can't be denied.. fan of country music or not, his concerts were always a good time! The tailgating environ...

Re: Masters of the Air
AppleTV went about a year without putting out any content that I was even remotely interested in, so I cancelled the service.. sure enough, now this show comes out and actually looks really good! Hah, I may have to wait until all the episodes are out and fire up the AppleTV again for a month to watc...

Re: How many Spyderco Knives did you buy in 2023?
Had to check my spreadsheet.. 7 Spydercos in 2023. More than I would have guessed without looking, but significantly fewer than in years past.. I think the biggest reason for the decrease in 2023 is that I've been into knives for long enough that I no longer feel the need to "buy every new knif...

Re: Spymyto is hot!
Hate to interrupt a perfectly nonsensical argument with on-topic commentary, but here I go.. I'm quite looking forward to the SpyMyto. One of my more recent Spyderco purchases was the SpyOpera - I bought it because it was deeply discounted and I couldn't pass up the deal. I ended up liking it even m...

Idk, all this talk of "walk away knives" sounds a bit far-fetched.. but, I will admit to seeing some appeal in the Delica platform..

Re: Crazy Deals that are Non Spyderco
MidwayUSA has a sale code available for Cold Steel & SOG, which seems to work with already-discounted models.. take an extra 25% off an already ridiculously low $49.99 on the 4Max Scout using code KNIVES121123.. pretty sweet deal.

Re: What's your use for a Ladybug?
I normally carry a Jester or Man/Ladybug loose in my left front pocket with my keys. I like having one on me in case I'm around people who may be more knife-adverse than myself, where using a larger knife would raise eyebrows.. no one has ever questioned a tiny little pocket knife though..
