My nephew, Logan is 10 years old, and has expressed interest in getting his first lockblade pocketknife, and hes adamant that it has to be a Spydie, after all, it's what Uncle Russ (Me) uses, he's been on the Spyderco website, perusing the catalog, as well as handling my small collection of knives ...

A couple months ago, we hired on two new techs at work, both hard working, intelligent, analytical guys, it's not enough that we can make something work, they share my desire to know *WHY* it broke in the first place and *HOW* the fix worked...

The only flaw here is they were constantly bugging me ...

Exact same for me, except I was swinging, missed the paper, and cut my left index instead. Ran right down the side, from the middle of the finger to the fingertip. Only thing is... my fingernail stopped growing. :eek: Maybe one day...

Anyways, is there any blood on the blade? I noticed I cut ...

It was a crisp fall afternoon, I had driven my old Kubota G-5200 garden tractor into the old orchard, and picked a fresh McIntosh and Red Delicious apple, the cricket made short ...

Over the past month or so, I've had my eye on a used SpyderEdge CF Delica at my local Spydieshop (Kittery Trading Post, Kittery, Maine), it's about 96% of new, a couple extremely minor scuffs on the CF scales, but still has the majority of the factory edge, the CF looks great, has a depth and ...

It's a SE, I need to add a PE to the collection as well

I've picked up a Benchmade 551 Griptilian....

....*HOWEVER*, it didn't cost me a thing, I traded in some old knives that I never used (non-Spydie) for store credit, got more than I paid for them ...

It's been a while since my last Spydie purchase, I've actually been trading them off for store credit at my local sporting goods store, as I've gotten back into shooting sports, thankfully, Spydies are one of the few things that actually *retain* value (maybe the U.S. treasury should switch to ...

Last night, the family (my parents and my niece and nephew) went out to a local seafood restaurant for dinner, when the waitress brought the kids their colouring placemats and crayons, they were a little dismayed when they opened the crayon boxes and found that a couple of the crayons had the tips ...

I had been using a ...

They're getting hard to find, but one of the best "self defense" or "tactical" pen is the Rotring 600 series, it's available in clicky ballpoint, capped rollerball and fountain pen formats

It took me a while to get past the "It's rare, don't risk it" phase, but I've been actually *using* my blue PE Dodo, and loving every minute, the Dodo was built to work, and letting it languish in a collection unused is not doing it justice....
