I have carried RFP for years, and experienced "the incident" on several occasions. Recently, I began wearing suspenders (tired of hiking my pants up) and found a side benefit. Switching from RFP to IWB of my now-beltless jeans, I discovered that the unused belt loops made a nice clip cover...

It looks very intriguing, but just not quite for me. I prefer the straight spine of the Military for a 4" blade.

So far, there's been nothing bad about my Citizen Eco-Drive. I bought it 5 years ago and it's still going strong. I'm not a watch person but I wear it a couple times a week and never having to replace the battery is great. I have left it in a drawer for too long and had it wind down. :) But no big ...

Yes yes yes!!! I just bought a Spyderco PBJ on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250524780617#ht_4170wt_999 It's red instead of purple, which works for me as I favor cherry preserves on my PBJ. Now I'll look up those paints mentioned on the RIT dying thread so that I can ...

A 2010 Forum Knife Proposal

Good morning everyone! One of the things I love about this forum is the self-moderation when a thread turns from spirited discussion to heated and contentious by the application of the Balm of Peace, Peanut Butter and Jelly. Processed through my admittedly warped mind, this brought an idea for the n...

My favorite for Halloween is "Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein."

Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, and a cameo by the Invisible Man - who could ask for anything more?

The second one, using Spyderco literature as a backdrop, is particularly nervy. Obvious attempt to deceive the buyer. :mad:

I'm a fan of finger choils, but I find the less pronounced one, without jimping, on the Smith provides more flexibility for using various grips. I know some have concerns about their finger sliding onto the edge, but this hasn't been an issue for me at all. +1, Tom. The large ricasso and the shape ...

For a knife the size of the Dragonfly, a one-piece, unlined FRN handle should be more than adequate. Whether for the pocket or a key ring, the light weight of an unlined knife, especially for a knife the size of the Dragonfly, is appealing. Mold the handle in the dark blue of the FRN ZDP Stretch and...
