I'm not 100% it's him, but I'm confident enough this is JD to post it here - based on timeline, location, DOB, basic life details Joe has shared over the ...

Dear JD,
We've never seen each other, let alone met, yet we've shared a bond for many years. That's why your illness touches me so deeply. I can't give you advice, as I come from a completely different professional field, but I can offer you my support in thoughts and prayers. You don't have to say ...

Yes, also for me, in some cases the loading times are so slow that I have already stopped several times. But what is even more annoying is that I have to log in repeatedly, even though I have not logged out.

Very well done, now the knife at least has a second life!

At least, it is absolutely unique

Any news yet Sal?

I admire your perseverance, you have my deep respect!

A completely different thought:

Wouldn't it be better if the Spyderco catalogs and website also included pictures of imperfect models? That would give you an idea of ​​what you're getting for your money after you've bought it. Not just perfect views of knives that were perhaps chosen specifically ...

Your question surprises me a lot, as you are a specialist in the Police model range. Apart from the details that can be seen in the pictures provided in the offer, you may not have read the offer text, which clearly states that this knife is made in China. It must not have been your best day, Yab

Yep, mobiletomek asked on both forums … sometimes it‘s not easy to be helpful.

It is undoubtedly a legal civilian ATS-55, you don't have to worry about it anymore. It's a nice piece of Spydercos history.

The purple forum Native is technically a Native 1 not a Native 4.

Quite right and at the same time it has a special feature, because it is the only Native 1 with a completely flat blade and is therefore somehow the "non missing" link to the Native 5.

Yes, it is very sad to have to say goodbye to a dear friend again. We got to know each other through the forum and over time it became more. I once said to Paul that I thought it was a shame that we weren't neighbors and couldn't just chat over the fence in the evenings... unfortunately ...

Happy Birthday Joe and many more to come!!!

I'm a big fan of salads, to the point that my main meal consists of a large bowl of salad with bread at least four times a week. I add carrots, corn, a little grated cheese (but not too much), beetroot, beans (various types) to my salads (various types). "A day without salad is a wasted day."

Of ...

Nice that the forum is online again!
But I'm unhappy that all the contributions can only be read against a gray background (alternately lighter or darker). Although it looks stylish, it is difficult and hindering when reading and understanding the meaning of the text (there is a lack of contrast ...

In my limited experience Austrians like the endura and chaparral.


I seriously wonder what the background of this statement is and what distinguishes Austrian preferences for pocket knives from other nations? Maybe I'm a little too superficial, because after almost 20 years here in the forums ...

Someday I will try starting from seed indoors but first I have to find the time and do some research…it must be very satisfying 👏👏👏


Oh yes, it really is. Especially if you even make it with your own seeds from last harvest.

Now to your thoughts that are causing you slight concern: My dear ...

At the moment one of three containers with chilies and red and orange peppers -

Now for the bad… the lock is horrible…. Always has been its heavy and causes excess friction both opening and closing, with multiple detents.


I can agree with you, because also with my copy it is an extremely stiff and scratchy linerlock. You don't read much about cricket in aluminum ...

So it got me thinking - would you guys carry a different sized knife if there were no blade length laws and no potential issues with public perception?

No

Or would you carry the same size you normally do?

Yes
