Not that this really answers your question, but I've had a coated NON Spyderco blade rust. It developed rust spots along the uncoated portion of the edge. I'd suspect Spydercos would be prone to that weakness as well, if improperly cared for.

Clip is on the wrong side, if not for that I'd own one :p

To my knowledge, steel is only hazardous to your health if you choose it to be, while cigarettes are harmful no matter what.

Good choice, steel is better than tobacco. Welcome to the forum :cool:

Mid 2005 for me. Was the Harpy, and a whole bunch more afterwards :cool:

I have a G-10 Cara Cara I won from a contest here, and it's still going strong, after some serious abuse. :cool:

Thank you sir :cool: Seems my memory was a bit fuzzy, that tang goes about halfway through the handle, not a third.

Scorpions glow under a black light, try it, it's pretty cool to see. That's how they're hunted by entomologists.

anyone have a shot showing how the tang looks? G2 A while back someone took an X-ray of the tang, to show that it is in fact a partial tang, it protrudes about 1/3 of the way into the handle. I'll see if I can find that thread, but I'm not optimistic about my skills with the search function, as I'm...

It's a baby Swick. Very nicely done :cool:

Bring it on. If I can't have a real Spyderco Bali, I'll gladly take one of these as a consolation price :cool:

It's not so much a time thing, as it is a feel. When I can feel the edge not cutting as cleanly as it usually does, I'll touch up the edge. Given my current profession, that can be mean months at a time before I need to sharpen.

Tell Eric to finish up his Razor Balis :p

He's slacking :cool:

Despite that it's not the proper use for a knife, I've used the ATR to pry open cans when the can opener went missing. That tip is extremely strong, and will have no problems piercing anything. If you need to put a hole in something, the ATY can do it for you :p

Such a shame to see Mary Beth go, she was always so nice, I hope she does well wherever she goes :cool:

My wish list of one handled knives is somewhat short:

Spyderco:

Phoenix
Native IV

There are a few older models I'd still like to try out, but just haven't gotten around to them. I.e. the Poliwog.

In due time, in due time.

Congratulations on 3K David :cool:

I have no experience with the Alias models, but I can vouch for the quality of the Mayhem. Mine is still going strong after a a year and half of flipping and using it. With the exception of some cosmetic scratches and a slightly chipped tip from hitting ceramic tile, it still flips like it did when ...

You know, those white handles are really starting to grow on me.

I'll be keeping an eye on this project. I still think the Swick is perfect as is, but I'd be interested in seeing a newer version.

I'm likely the last person you guys would expect to say this, but restricting balisongs/automatics may end up being better in the long run, at least for me ;) It'll force me to make my own Balisongs :cool: Just gotta look on the bright side of everything :p Less money spent on balis means more money...
