Re: Polliwog - BladeHQ sprint

I have owned and own two of the G-10 and two Stainless versions of this knife. I like the ergos on this one as it just fits inside your hand and becomes one with it. The knife isn't thick, much thinner than a Para 3 LW. If you put them next to each other, the Poliwog is the thickness of one handle r...

Re: Misspelled Knife Name in Catalog

I saw this poem hanging on a frame a while back at a graphic design firm. The typographical error is a slippery thing and sly; You can hunt it ‘til you're dizzy, but it somehow will get by. ’Til the pages are off the press, it is strange how still it sleeps; It shrinks down in a corner, and it never...

I had a ZDP-189 Chinese Lum and a couple green Delica 4s (hollow ground). I couldn't get them super sharp and decided to part with them but that was long ago. After learning about the Edge Pro Apex sharpening system recently, I'm giving it another shot with a Delica 4 hollow ground that I have incom...

Here's a picture of my orange Military along with some of its family members. In the center is an orange Casio solar atomic GXW-56 "King" watch. Here's the honest truth about these. As much as I love looking at all of them, I can't bring myself to carry (or wear) them in public. It's just ...

I really like the Salsa as they make nice little cutters. The blade is a little short but that's okay by me. Managed to find all the "clean" versions as the pepper ones just don't do it for me. Perhaps because I dislike and won't eat anything that irritates my mouth including onions and pe...

I have a first production run with full liners, no logo and Taiwan only. There was discussion about this once before and I recall the hardness of the steel was reduced to make it easier to work with.

All (3) of mine came with not a full grind. Not that big of a deal, but almost all the pictures I see in this thread look like the grind on mine. Interesting. I received both of mine and the grind goes all the way back just like every other Para2 that I own. I've seen many pictures of the orange Pa...

I obtained mine from a local knife seller who just happened to get one in. After seeing it in person, I just had to have it. Worked a deal and brought it home. Compared to my CF and titanium Militarys, the fluting makes it easy to grip as well as nice to look at. I won't part with this one. It's a k...

I got lucky and snagged one from an eBay seller for $116 shipped. I saw one listed yesterday by the same seller and it quickly sold before I could buy it. Look forward to adding this to my other orange Spydies.

Mine came in today. It's a keeper. I like that EVERYTHING on this knife is all black. Don't know what coating is on it but it appears to be durable. This will get some pocket time. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/spyharpy/spydercos/blackten01.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/spyharp...

If an auction has a reserve, the BIN will remain until the reserve is met.

It's a mixed bag for me on the Zowada. It always intrigued me and wanted to get the original but I never seemed to get lucky to find one at the right price. With the CF version being available, I finally pulled the trigger and got one. Now that I have one in my hand and cut some paper and envelopes,...

Spyderco has a limit of 200 Collector Club members. It does not mean there are 200 numbered knives. For example, if there are 87 members in the club, 87 knives will be etched with each of the member's selected number between 1-200. Only Spyderco knows how many members there are in their Collector Cl...

I just acquired a Native 5 a few days ago and been carrying it. Haven't done any heavy cutting with it yet but touched it up on the Sharpmaker to make it shaving sharp.
