Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)
The small Adira looks nice but I'm not in a rush. I am afraid that pronounced and "sharp" pinky hook on the rather short handle could be a problem (so that larger hand perhaps don´t have enough space between front guard and pinky hook and the pinky sits right ON that pretty abrupt hook).....

Re: SE performance is more than simply teeth vs no teeth.
David, you really made my Sunday with this post. I haven't been over here since ages only to find this gem. As a full serrations nut since 2005, I very much appreciate this. I had a plan to make one of these post myself but you did a better job than I ever could since I can't post pics anymore on t...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
I love my Kapara's. One of Spyderco's best knives. I have the S30v and the 20cv exclusive. I have no issue with the lock. I showed it to one of my long time buddies, in fact the guy that got me started on the Spyderco freight train :beaming-face, and he had never seen one! He was mind boggled at th...

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions
Thank you very much for your kind words and wishes! Kapara never crossed my mind but it should have, truth is that most of my pocket knives are used always for food prep\snacking... :thinking I do like compression lock myself but as you, I do not prefer it for great outdoors as backlock is superior...

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions
Hi Folks, in less than a month I will marry love of my life, person I look forward getting old with and my best friend at the same time. Now important question is, what Spyderco to carry this day? There is going to be some charcuterie and cheese boards on the "garden party" and I am torn ...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?
I just thought about this but I would love for an anniversary knife to sport the colors of the current Spyderco boxes. Red black and gold is great !..... This is exactly what I proposed earlier in this thread, so of course and still I´d be all in for a "three tone spyderco colored" (FRN.....

Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban
Very nice review! :clinking-mugs And glad you found out what linerless FRN really is: In relation to its weight imo the best, most sophisticated and actually very sturdy handle material (and I DO use my linerless FRN knives hard). Add the grippy texture but smooth logo the clip lands on and on many...

Unless he edited something and got autokicked to moderation again. I don't know how long that can happen.

"Throwing trail run" (so running through the woods interrupted by occasional no-spin knife throwing on stumps and dead trees) with the great Salt 2 iwb and my favorite throwers in hand.

Re: Lost my Military 2
Jim, since you obviously searched pretty much everywhere already, one really far fetched last suggestion: Did you check the trash cans? Not kidding, it happened to me once when I was under a lot of stress, had 1000 things in my mind and too little sleep: I wanted to put my Altimeter watch (which I o...

Re: Which one should I get next?
A bit off topic (but perhaps still saying something concerning the op´s question): I like how well loved the Chap really is around here: - 11 people replied so far, more than half (6) recommended getting a Chap! (Second so far goes to some Manix 2 variant (4), third to Dfly (3), if I counted right)....
