It's a Baliyo and according to TazKristi Thinkgeek is an authorized reseller (at least, as of a few months ago when I PM'd her on the same subject).

I just saw this on thinkgeek.

It looks identical to the BaliYo; the video is very familiar ...

I sent emails to Senators Webb, Warner (my two), Murray and Voinovich. Also posted link on Facebook to get the word out. The thing that makes me fume the most is the denial of extension of the comment period past 30 days. So much for that open and transparent government we were promised!

I would be happy to reshape the tip for you and send it back to you with a nice pointy tip. ;)

I know you said it's spoken for but I thought I'd throw that out there.

I may have to take you up on that offer, unless stoneman changes his mind and sends it to you :)

I'm excited though. I've been ...

before I get started, I just wanna make clear I'm not trying to sell or trade anything.
The black para is my favourite :spyder: . A few months ago I dropped it and it stabbed into the hardwood floor and it snapped at the tip (lost about 1/4inch). I was :mad: :mad: :mad: I've recently ...

Dragonfly SS SE ... after seeing my brother's Harpy SE and liking the hole. My brother picked it up because of the Hannibal book/movie. His harpy was starting to get a bit beat up and he realized a hawkbill wasn't as useful a blade shape for what he did, so I bought him a Lava this past xmas (his ...

G10 SE. Had a CF ZDP but sold it last year. Wish I hadn't sometimes, but I got an Atwood Ti mini keyton out of the deal too, which I love. :)

Wouter's site (spydercollector.nl) no longer resolves in DNS... maybe he accidentally let the domain expire (it's right around his registration date).

It sucks, I went to go show my wife some of the new pics and can't :)

Handle changes, while not necessarily cheap, can be done aftermarket; so that definitely would not be my first "if I could only" option.

I haven't seen any pics of someone converting a PE blade to SE (the other way, yes... poorly). :p

This coming from someone who bought a customized G10 dragonfly ...

It saddens me that SE has fallen so much by the wayside on newer models.

That did help some, thanks. It still only locks up 1 out of 3 times it's opened. Last time I buy a Chinese Spyderco product.

FYI, the Tenacious is much better than the Byrd Robins I bought. The Robin had *very* stiff action until I lubed it and opened it many times; the tenacious was as good as ...

Count me in with the "I like my knives heavier" crowd - but it's relative to the size of the knife.

I returned my very first Spyderco (Dragonfly FRN SE) because it was too light. Replaced it with the SS model and was very happy.

I didn't have any issue with my Rescue 93mm, which was FRN but no ...

Wow, congrats... did you have to give these women a list, or something?
'Cause the only knives I've ever received from women have been cheap knock-offs...

V-Day gift

So this year for Valentine's Day my wife said she was not getting me another red knife... instead, she got me a Centofante 3 wrapped in red tissue paper!

Knew there was a reason I married her ;)
