I don’t feel a flipper can ever be classed as a true gentlemans carry. A gents knife is largely defined by how it’s perceived by others. It fits the bill aesthetically but then you explosively deploy all that steel :/ Except the deployment of the Ikuchi is so fast (and quiet) that no one sees it; i...

The venerable Kiwi - compact, classy, gentleman's (gentlepersons) folder, available in a variety of configurations, a classic.

The Ikuchi - compact, elegant, modern flipper gentleperon's folder, an instant classic that needs many configurations!

Your thoughts?

Anyone else notice these sharpening marks in certain lights? 2019-04-11 (1).jpg My example did not have these and, was in fact, the sharpest blade I've ever received from Taichung. The marks you see are unfortunate and are the result of using a new grinding wheel/belt. When they're new there are la...

You might want to add a "?" to your title... liable to create panic as people rush to click on the post in hopes of finding a smock in stock at DLT! :)

Smock sold out in minutes/seconds at every retailer.

The lanyard hole (or lack thereof) is its greatest feature!

You guys are welcome. As I think more about the problem, here is what I'm guessing. When they stamped the first run of those liners they probably had a few crack or outright break at the point highlighted above. Maybe it wasn't as extreme as this, it might have just been that someone saw how little ...

I've been asked by some people to illustrate the modifications I made to eliminate my Ikuchi bites. I'll show you what I did, but don't blame me if you screw something up. :) I'm stealing Paul's photo for this description because the Loctite just finished drying on my knife and I really don't want t...

How would you say it compares functionally? First, let me acknowledge and praise your choice of Avatar! I played EQ so much (60-80hrs a week for years) that I eventually went to work for SOE and even flew out to interview with Brad Mcquaid when he started Sigil Games (which later became the studio ...

Love the clip. What is it?

Ripp's Garage Tech (RGT) Wire Replacement Clip. https://rippsgaragetech.com/collections ... 9754456126

There are lots of great options, but they can be pricey!

UPS lost mine this morning then called me 15 minutes later after finding it and I turned around and went back for it.

First submission as well!

I went home for lunch and made her mine. https://i.imgur.com/c9R9eCY.jpg I switched out the clip to an RGT wire replacement clip and fixed the finger cutting tip. The modification to get the blade to rest a few thousands of an inch deeper in the scale was quite complicated. I hadn’t seen Paul’s repl...

Just picked up my sample of the Ikuchi and I gotta say, Paul, this is the first knife that made me exclaim "Whoa!" when I opened the box. It looks and feels great, and I don't see it leaving one of my pockets for some time. It's the perfect back pocket backup riding next to my wallet, yet ...

The Chapel is still in use, and holds mass, but is primarily used for wedding ceremonies. This is Adriatic Village at St Pauls's Square in Mckinney, Texas. We moved here last November.

Welp, dang, I'm Protestant, so I'm out!

Thanks for the update.

First, Spyderco is very helpful for getting replacement parts now. You'll want to call the Spyderco Factory Outlet at +1 (303) 279-8613 ext. 4 and they will help you out. You're obviously using your Carribean for the rough use in which Spyderco designed it, though a different environment than the oc...

Unless it is very extreme, Spyderco will probably find that it fits within their allowed tolerances. I’ve had much better luck just returning it to the retailer from which I bought it for an even exchange.

I have never taken any of my Spyderco knives apart to inspect their parts, also never took any of my other non Spyderco knives apart. But i would hope Spyderco would investigate poster Zatx's knife's corrosion item he is showing us in the post, and i would hope that Zatx would be willing to send hi...

Available at Lamnia.

Thank you for posting this. It sucks I had to order from Europe instead of going through my normal channels here in the US, but at least I’ll get one.

Okay, at this point I think I'm the victim of a sick joke, or I'm getting punked or something. I disassembled my Drunken to try and photograph the corrosion on the stop pin and discovered the same corrosion on the steel nested liner! I never could get a clear picture of the stop pin because it's so ...

In answer the OP's question... "Very few people are getting Ikuchi's as soon as they are released." The rest of us will have to wait six months for the second run and hope we can find one then. I really wish Spyderco would stop being so stinking conservative with their first production run...
