Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Goddard the Great, like so often.
This time on another hike.
A real "cross over folder" for both "urban" EDC and the outdoors.
Sometimes wish it had a comboedge though, like my thin red line Endura.

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist

What I did not totally get so far: - Do you, Palestrina, just want "dabble" into the world of modern folders a bit, but stay as close to "traditional" as possible (in this case perhaps something like a Chaparral with wood scales and its liners would be a good choice, also great ...

Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

I’d much rather have FRN. Other than being translucent, Ultem is an inferior material in every way. I haven´t really looked into Ultem, so I am not in a position to talk about or compare it. Just saying that also if Spyderco wanted to go translucent, they´d have their FRCP for that... (don´t know t...

Re: Sal, a handle forward Lil Native?

One advantage this idea would have is a cutting edge as long as the Chaparral. The Chaparral is really hard to beat, I know. I have two and wonderful knives they are. The LN would benefit and still keep the blade legal in most places, though. Doc, just to be sure: Your idea would mean indeed, that,...

Re: Sal, a handle forward Lil Native?

...Completely different story with the Native 5: HERE a choil actually makes the LEAST sense imho. A choil-less Native 5 would, differently to the Lil Native, definitely offer enough space on the handle for almost all hand sizes AND give us more cutting edge. Win-win in my book. While the current N...

Hey Gernot,

I don't think that your comments were too political, just mine were.

Thanks, Sal! :smlling-eyes

In any case it was good to get this off my chest and that you provide a place with this forum where people can understand.

Re: Forum Update/Maintenance & Move - PLEASE READ

Just realized: I don't get e mail notifications anymore when I get quoted / someone replies to a post of mine... and yes, I did check if all the relevant boxes are clicked correctly: They are.

Does not really bother me though, just thought I'd still mention it.

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist

... As Wartstein said, our minister of interior affairs just announced they are working on a bill to restrict knives basically the same way as Germany or the UK does, so if this bill should pass it's going to be a UK PK or Lil Native Slipit anyways :) ....

Re: Salt color differences

Hah.. learning something new every once in a while. I had somehow come to the understanding that all Golden LWs were FRCP. Anyhow, I also had similar concerns as you when I got my Native salt. The yellow color was noticeably different than the Seki salts I already owned. It is also my impression th...
