G'day All I was fortunate enough to be able to acquire an Operation Iraqi Freedom Native from a fellow forum member recently and there has been much skittering, moaning, whinging, begging, pleading and waving of feelers around at my place by a certain large Spyder. Well I finally let Fred have a lo...

I have been carrying a Large Sebenza with Cocobolo inlays. I have to say that the knife is extremely well made and feels great in the hand. The thumb stud takes some getting used but works fine once you get the hang of it. F&F are top notch. I realy like the hollow grind on the blade as much as ...

Thanks Paul

It's a bit harder keeping track from this far away.

Collector question

Does anyone know if these knives will be offered as variants to the Collectors cub?

· Military with S90V steel

· Delica with G10 scales

· Endura with G10 scales

I did email Karen at Spyderco but have not heard back.

Thanks

Bumper sticker getting around Sydney in the early eighties during a federal election. One of the candidates running for Prime Minister was called Malcom Fraser, his wife's name was Tammy.

The Bumper sticker read "Tammy has one, Malcom is one"

A classic :D

I started to EDC my Atr but also found the clip too tight. So I took it out of rotation and stuck to my military around the house and other appropriate places. I did not notice any rattles though. Just as a side issue I think I have the same rattle on my millie and it seems to be the lanyard sleeve....

One for the sharpening experts

How often are you guys using the 30 degree back bevel option on the sharp maker?

Is there a general rule of thumb on how regularly the bevel should be attended to in between straight edge sharpening.

Thanks :)
