Xcptnl,
Thank you, Sir.

Roman,
Cento is permanently retired. Caly is in my pocket all the time. Thank you, again!

Wouter,
It is good to be back…even for a short time. I wish I could say “to be continued…” but I ran out of knives. Maybe Roman can send me some of his to play with :)
I think I just ...

Hi, everyone.
It’s been a while…
My good old friend Roman was working tirelessly on convincing me to switch from my trusted Cento to something more high tech and upscale. Finally he took matters into his own hands and sent me this beautiful CF Caly 3.5 as a birthday present.
I always thought that ...

It was a nice surprise :)
Thank you, guys!

Happy birthday, Roman!
Stay young!
Best wishes from your knifebro :)
Mark.

Actually I got a hint from Roman, that there is something for me here in Spyderco forum. It was such a nice surprise! My knife addiction kind of morphed into passion for photography. That is what I do now in my spare time. What I really miss is being a part of Spyderco community here on the forums ...

I slightly changed the old setup taking this picture of one of my favorite Spyderco families - The original Vieles.

LOL :) Nice ones Mark. I have that very same Shun brand but in the Santoku. The contoured pakkawood handle is shaped for a right handed grip. Not sure if they make a lefty version as well or not. The Pakkawood will very slowly and gradually lighten up in colour a tad after many uses/ washes (in the ...

Dan's recent post inspired me to show these pics...
Like Dan I was trying to convince my wife that it was a present for her, but it did not go well ;) .
Anyway now WE have a couple of nice kitchen knives (8" Cook's knife and 3.5" Paring) that along with Yin & Yang should cover all our needs ...

Happy Birthday Ted!
Enjoy this day.

It was worth to be waiting for!!!
Stunning knives!
Tony's mods are just amazing!
And Dan, what took you so long to start using mirror? :p
Australian sky provides perfect background for your Kopas/Kiwi.
You even managed not to take a picture of yourself :D
Great, great job!
The Masur Birch Kopa is ...

Possibly some mods and possibly some mirror work as well :)

Mirror and mods could be a killer combination! :D

Thank you ChapmanPreferred!

Nice pics Mark,

Glad you finally managed to finish the Kopa set..... LOL :) what took you so long :p

Hope to see more of your mirror magic soon. I have a few more which I'd like to share as well a bit later.

Dan,
I just was not in a hurry to finish the set :D I ...

Thank you Brian and Roman!

Sorry, just want to be sure. Do you like this CF more than CF on Taiwanese knives?

Sage is the only one Taiwanese CF knife I ever handled. IMHO CF used on Kiwi and Kopa looks classier. I would even consider it better looking that the one used for T-Mag and Caly 3 ...

Finally I was able to complete my Kopa set!
It took me awhile to get CF Kopa but I am a happy camper now.
It is my favorite kind of CF among all used by Spyderco.

Brian,
Your collection is getting better and better.
The Dyad family looks absolutely beautiful. I do not think I ever seen all of them together. Great pics!
But what's up with Vieles??? They are crying for Phoenix...
Any plans on getting one?
Let me guess... It is in the mail?
Mark.
