Brake cleaner works pretty well for me. Brake cleaner is way harsh! A stone and denatured alcohol should handle the adhesive. A stone is less harsh than brake cleaner??? I must be missing something??? :confused: The next time I need to sharpen or reprofile a knife i'll try some brake cleaner. 🤣 Tha...

Because she just put my 940 through the wash. Thank god it’s in 20cv 😂 Slightly bitter that even my washing machine couldn’t remove the cardboard box adhesive I’ve been struggling to get off... Last girlfriend I let carry a Spyderco lost my Q :mad: No more girlfriends for me!!!! That and I married ...

Byrd Rescue 2. Pry open a paint can (or d*** near anything) without worry. What a work knife. Stout sheepsfoot sabre grind. Strong design, cheap, reliable, great performer (spyderedge).

I was going to say get a Byrd so you can replace it for less than the cost of a Lynch pocket clip.

Pass on the Maxamet. How’s about K390???

Haha! Reminds me of the Chevy Nova. It didn’t sell well in Mexico, who would buy a car that no va, “doesn’t go?” I've been told the Mitsubishi Pajero was originally named Pendejo by some unfortunate Japanese :) Sounds a bit far fetched i think, and i hope they didn't get so far as to actually deliv...

Man this one really caught my eye but I have a gray g10 cruwear para3 that rarely sees pocket time. How does the lightweight compare to the g10 models? I find the cruwear para3 loosing out to a lw chaparral, small sebenza, or spydiechef a most days... you could sell me your cruwear P3 and then buy ...

I showed my wife how to use the lawn mower years ago. She cuts the grass all the time now.

Oops - duplicate thread! Let's stick to the other one.

Triplicate! And I almost made a forth!

Haha, to me “rock lobster” is a vintage mountain bike!

Ouch!! ^^^ Yeah! I was using a paper towel soaked in denatured alcohol. Didn’t know it was happening until I got deep enough that the nerve and/or the alcohol lit me up! Then I treated the cut with liquid bandage, was worse than the cut!! :eek: I’ve seen enough nonsense at public ranges I don’t go ...

I don’t care for the “police” name at all. Not particularly fond of the “military” name, but since the para military 2 and para 3 seem to get shortened to pm2 and pm3/p3 often I don’t have any negative associations. Urban... I like the knife not the name. I understand why it was so named, but at the...

Am I the only one who is deeply bothered when the serration pattern doesn't start and end with a large scallop? Man that absolutely drives me crazy. On this knife it's actually worse than that; the edge ends only halfway on a small scallop. If you want to cut with the very tip you can push or pull....

To slice my fingertip open when wiping sharpie off the blade after sharpening....

It is easier to to sharpen and just as corrosion resistant if not more. Holds a truly sharp edge longer and well golly gosh darn I hope Spyderco will drop the steel craze a bit as they are all over the map with different steels and give us some 440C. I am on board to buy some let’s return to yester...

I remember Sal saying something about carrying some of these on him to give away to first responders he may come across on a day to day basis.

That’s awesome.

Like someone said above, would be nice to have one for first responders, specifically EMT / Fire.

I like the look of the dodo blade, but not the rest of the knife. I’d love it if the Swick 5 comes in M4!!

The only Spyderco I’ve bought in s30v was the teal dragonfly to put away for one of my daughters. I bought it for the color, in spite of the steel, because they love teal. The only other knife I own in s30v is a Benchmade Snody 210, a neck knife sized fixed blade. It was my sharpening nemesis, and I...
