Thanks all- I am going to give Bladeforums BST a try. There are only three knives left in the collection I'm looking to move, so the list isn't comprehensive to speak of.

Divesting from collecting Spyderco's - question on moving collectible models

Hello All,

I used to spend tons of time on this forum and I built up quite a collection of rare Spyderco's. However over the past few years, I have been doing the "responsible adult thing" and got married, bought a house and had a baby. I have not really devoted any time to the hobby of collecting ...

I saw a very (potentially to some...) offensive one:

Trihonda,

Would that be a Sig 229 with Hogue grips?

Well let's see if I can get this all into a photo with my bad camera... I was wearing a heavy jacket today, (since it's 25 DEGREES here right now!!!), and I could carry the S&W Scandium in a outside pocket, and the bigger Glock IWB, without ...

Snufaluff- I've heard good things about the Magnum Research Eagle series pistols. I had a good friend in college who rented one at a range one time, and he said it was a very accurate gun. They seem to be well-built, although they also seem to have a lot going on externally- I would potentially be ...

For the money, you can't go wrong with Tissot. You can pick up a sturdy, stainless steel Swiss movement automatic with a sapphire crystal for around $250.00 If you want an absolute tank, pick up a Tissot SeaStar Automatic, 300M dive watch.

I am absolutely enamored with the Police Model- namely with CF handles and LH set up. I love how thin a package it is with serious blade length- as much as blade as can be packed into the handle, per Spyderco... As part of my EDC/ SD rig, I always carry one IWB, where it absolutely disappears. There ...
