My Tasman has become part of my "Indispensable EDC"; the knives that I just cannot leave home without. :cool:
What kind did you get? Black? Yellow? PE? SE?

As other people have said, they are an excellent knife for the price you pay. :cool: I find that the Byrd steel has excellent edge retention. The corrosion resistance isn't as good as VG-10, but it's nothing unmanageable. In addition, Byrd steel has a fine grain structure, and I can get it hair-popp...

I can certainly understand the use of red in Trainer models. I also wish that regular models used red, as it's an awesome color. However, I don't do any Martial training, so I can't speak with any authority as to the possible repercussions. I'm sure that Sal must have a reason for only using red in ...

Only problem is, my parents and inlaws keep cutting themselves on their gift Spydies. They aren't quite certain how to handle a sharp kitchen knife I guess. When I first got my Kitchen Spydies, I cut myself a couple of times as well. An entire lifetime of using dull kitchen knives really throws off...

I have the Yin/Yang set, and they are awesome pieces of engineering! That VG-10 gets dang sharp! :D Together, they can handle pretty much anything I throw at them. The only real instances where I find myself wishing for different knives are: 1. Paring. They're a little too big for those delicate job...

I would say that for something like zip-ties, there honestly wouldn't be any noticeable difference. FFG really shows its worth in situations where you'll be pushing the whole blade through the material (for instance: cutting cardboard). Zip-ties aren't even going to push past the serration scallops....

You asked a question, you got responses that consisted of people's opinions ; it stands to reason that some people's opinions won't mesh with your own. As far as I can see, nobody said anything putting you down, they were just giving their opinion that they thought it was a bad idea if you were goin...

I had been one of those people who never realized the true value of a good knife. Well, after burning through yet another $15 cheapo knife, I decided that it was time to get something a little more worthwhile. I started researching brands, and Spyderco was actually one of the first that I came acros...
