Re: names changing?

Snowflake

I used "My little snowflake" as a sign of affection for my wife because she's so unique & no 2 snowflakes are alike. I even bought her a necklace with a snowflake pendent several years ago. Now because of recent U.S. politics the term Snowflake has a negative connotation. Irks me every ...

Re: Advice on tipping etiquette please



Well if you want to call out someone's flaws then do that, but don't insult someone's intelligence



Yes! I think you're on the right track. I was trying, perhaps awkwardly, to point out a failure to take advantage of educational opportunities, the laziness of sitting around complaining about ...

Re: Advice on tipping etiquette please



A lot of that BS about tips being some sort of reward was started by cheap jerkoffs



Maybe you should have paid better attention at school so you could get a job that didn't require you to depend upon the kindness of jerkoffs.


Ease up with the "better attention at school" comment. I've ...

Re: Should Spyderco make this knife?

Handy little things. I designed a sheath (made by JRE leather) with a slot for one for a custom little Dogwood knives fixed blade.

Re: L.T. Wright thoughts



I've known L.T. since he started up with Blind Horse Knives & consider him a friend. They make a good knife for the money, and they make them to be used. Of the ones I have, my personal favorite is my Small Northern Hunter in AEB-L.


How has the heat treat been for AEB-L?

Re: Knife as emergency can opener?

Only time I used a knife to cut a can was in a Bushcraft class. I believe it was a Boker folder that I used to turn a can into a make-shift stove. Otherwise, there's so many better tools for the job - SAKs, or old military issue P-38 can openers. I had JRE Leather make a sheath I designed that ...

Re: China

A majority of the lower cost Chinese made knives don't appeal to me. I either don't like the design, steel, or lesser quality.

Case in point is the Orange handled Ozark Trail folder sold by Walmart that is similar to the Bugout. A buddy gave me one to play with as a beater. Non-knife people will ...

Re: .32 H&R Magnum

I really like the new S&W J-frame that came out in .32H&R Magnum. It has better sights, a better factory trigger, and 6 rounds vs. 5. The .32H&R Mag offers close to the same stopping power as the .38Special with less recoil. I've seen a lot of gun writers whose opinion I respect speaking well of it ...

Everyone's responses to my post are equally hysterical and ridiculous. You people are defending this company like its one of your children.

Re: Worldwide Emigration Trend

I've read of several U.S. Vets moving to Guyana. No language issues since English is the official language and their military retirement/disability check goes a lot further there.

Looks like a lot of other members found black bladed Spyderco knives in stock. Maybe try a post asking for some assistance first next time.

Re: Dare I suggest we discuss a new forum knife

I recall last time this was brought up a lot of people were hoping it would be something our overseas members could enjoy like the UK Penknife. Maybe the new Metropolitan in Spy27 with Blue FRN or G10?

I used to use Mineral Oil, then switched to Ballistol on the advice of LT Wright. Other than the weird smell, I like it better.

Re: Why CPM 3V

Only knife I have in 3V from Ken Brock. Have not used it for anything abusive, but I love how thin the blade stock is on it. Part of why he switched to 3V from CTS-XHP I believe.
