Like with almost anything, just do a little research and you will be good to go. Good advice. Re Spydieguys, they have 72 Negative Feeedbacks this year, 7 this month and that's not counting the folks that have left a Neutral. If you want to gamble that you are not going to have a problem that it is...

Mine should arrive in a couple of days. Thanks to Yab for the pics. Inwardly I hope mine has less gaps but if not I won't complain. I tink I am going to use a product called Zap-a-Gap. Basically a thin super glue but I am going to try and dye it somehow, maybe with the graphite as someone mentioned ...

It depends on the price. Too much makes it not worth it. For the right price I could buy up too two of each mule. I'm not looking for high quality ironwood, or other such show pieces, just cheap handles that don't have any hot spots. Joe My sentiments exactly. In keeping with the Mule theme a low c...

I think Kydex is a wonderfully versatile material with its only drawback being the "noise" factor. I'm in the Horizontal weak side carry group, in and out of the truck and climbing up and down alot and this seems to fit best. I spoke with Sal at the BLADE show last year re an idea I had fo...

Jon, the Toad is very uncommonly seen today and is special in that it is the only D'Holder / Spyderco Collab. I am not lucky enough to own one but I did handle one years ago and it was small but it was solid. There are plenty of fans here of the smaller Spyders like the Toad and the Mouse. Those are...

Not surprised at all though...... as a long time Forum Member I (and others) missed out so you could double dip and make more money .. :( I am SURE that is not why Sal gave us this Forum knife or the Forum Discount..

Extremely BAD form.

I doubt if Spyderco appreciates a dealer who WANTS to sell one of their knives and cheapens it by offering it for nearly the same price as they were invoiced wholesale. Do you think Spyderco (or its Customers) appreciates a Dealer who sells at 100% above MSRP? IE. A Dealer that sells a knife for $2...

I've seen them sell (in the last 6 months) for as little as $40 and as high as $55 - plus postage.

The PE version if one of my all time favorites to carry.

I prefer BG-42 for its ease of Sharpening. Both do well when Stropping or using a Fine Ceramic but during sharpening I found BG-42 to take a much finer edge faster. Also, though I personally never had an issue with S30V chipping, I have never even HEARD of any issues with BG-42 doing this. Very hard...
