Got ahold of some of our condemned fire hose for testing this weekend. I’m excited!
What kind of hose?
Stay safe brother.
Some double jacketed 1 3/4” stuff that was heading to the dumpster.

You stay safe, too!

Re: Tasman Salt spyderedge

What a cool story and a very practical application of the SE and Salt series! You’ll never forget that trip, that knife or anything associated with it. That’s great!

When we take a FL trip next year I’ll grab a new salt in SE for sure.

REC Shaman PVD Usage

So…I scored a REC Shaman, and I pledged to make this one a user. I have been carrying it on the weekends and using it for the everyday EDC uses we all have. Today I had it on me and I had many boxes and pieces of synthetic material to break down. I cut apart many boxes, heavy plastic bags and other ...

Never Know Who You’ll See At SFO…

Brought the family to the SFO today and had the pleasure of seeing Sal in the shop. I’ve been coming to the SFO for almost 20 years and have had the pleasure of seeing the entire Glesser family. Today was special, tho…I’ve not seen Sal in years. Had a great conversation about the steels in the que a...

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Busted out a Shaman to cut zip ties on a case of apples when the gentleman stocking the produce couldn't find a knife. Funny reaction followed from said gentleman.

Re: Rex 45 at Cutleryshoppe

Not to derail the thread (I will be getting the Native LW) but I recently got my Atom and just wow. Guess I’m not gonna eat for a while :rolleyes: Btw, anyone else notice those items aren’t just out of stock but complete gone now? I'm glad a few people scored something, even if they can't afford to...

Re: Hard Use (borderline abuse) Steel?

As long as he won’t pry, I’d suggest K390, Maxamet, or S110V.

Got some more time on the blade today made 50 cuts on cardboard about 20” long. Took out lots more aspen saplings too. No discernible loss of the edge yet.

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Smock - Natural G10 and M4

I'm still wondering how this one sold out so fast, almost on par with a PM2 drop, considering that outside a few IG posts, there was nowhere as near a hype for this compared to the BHQ Lil Native or even the latest Knifejoy PM2 exclusive. Even in this thread, it only got two pages' worth of posts b...

Perhaps the quantity plus the impending Blade HQ Smock dropping tomorrow causing it to sit in in stock longer.

Thanks Deacon, so from the image above with the letters AT
August of 2020 (A = August, T = 20)?
I thought AT would be 1/20 so January of 2020.

I’m going to take a wild guess that it denotes lot or batch number.

Z-Max Initial Impressions

Hello all! I was blessed in getting one of these coveted pieces from the SFO, and today I completed it with some G10 scales and a sheath. I have been wowed recently with everything K390 and I think this steel looks to keep up with it. I have a tree that is dying in its upper branches and some aspens...

Re: SFO Exclusives

The Colorado PM2 is an SFO exclusive. Great find on the Rex45 Shaman, that’s an amazing knife steel combination. I was going to say I think the CO Flag PM2 is sold as "direct to consumer" product similar to the Mule Team Series or some merchandise but then figured thats pretty much equiva...

Re: Lil Native Clip Problem - Unusable, Help!

Aaron, Congratulations on the new knife! I would try to get used to it over the next week or two. If you’re still struggling I’d try and bend it back a tad and see if it helps. If you cant grasp it with your finger tip go East with some needle nose pliers. Once you’ve carried it I would say it’s wro...
