Soldier SAK that I bought new in 1983.

I've been trying to look for a pic of the front sight triangle blade,
I swear I saw it once on an AK47 when I was searching through yahoo images.

You did. But what you saw on the AK was the front sight support, which has a trianglar shape. Older versions of the M16 (A1, A2, A4) have the same ...

Blueing is nothing more than "pretty rust". Correct me if I'm wrong, but most if not all Spyderco knives have stainless steel blades.

Commonly available cold blue solutions will not work.

All you young whippersnappers with your new-fangled, lightweight, pocket sized lights.....

You don't remember the dawn of flashlight time, when a man carried a 3 or 4 "D" cell Maglight that was at least foot long and weighed a couple pounds or more.

This was much better than the wood torches ...

For all you Endura collectors, (like tonydahose) Lone Wolf Distributors has recently contracted for a number of plain edged bladed Armorer's Enduras.

Previous models came only with a 50/50 edge.

I use a standard Armorer's Endura as EDC, but have often wished for a PE version. Got my order in ...

I would very much like to see it come out. Hollow sabre grind please, and I'll take two....

Scrapyard knives Dumpster Mutt LE
Not sure why, but I've had the urge to try one of these thick knives.
Recieved in well used condition.
Removed bluing, ground out edge damage,
Sharpened to about 18 degrees with 20 degree microbevel.

Very nice knife, but you are using it to make a Vegemite ...

Really beautiful work, sir.

You gave that "simple soldier" a touch of elegance.....

One of my favorite Victorinox knives. I have carried the same one for 25 years now, and would not be without it.

Armorer's Endura - has a 3/32 inch folding pin punch in the handle. Comes in very handy, considering what I do.

My first Spyderco was a left-hand Police. Given to me by a friend in 1991 or '92.

First of many...... :)

I live in Texas. Legal limit here is 5.5 inches. And I like big knives. :D

I like it. The knife looks balanced. I just wish it was bigger than it is.

This is just a general "thank you" to the folks at Spyderco for making such fine knives.

In the days following hurricane Ike I've given my Armorers Endura a real workout - everything from cutting meat and vegetables, (mass cookouts in the neighborhood after the power went off) opening cans and ...

Hi friends,

Just got power back yesterday - 8 days after the storm.

We (in Pasadena) did not get a whole lot of water damage or flooding - we did however get a great deal of wind damage. Trees down, roofs blown off, fences blown down. The church next door to us had its steeple blown off. My wife ...

I'm in the north west side of Houston,

many stores are closed, gas has run out in some places.
Grocery stores that are open are JAM packed.

people acting like it's Armageddon, hopefully it won't be.

I'm staying, I'm in an apartment, got lots of H2O, food, to last more than a week.
I'm ready ...

I carry my extra junk (checks, 2nd cell phone, pens, nicotine gum, aspirin, bills, the odd gun part, ammo, flashlight and gun) around in an old Army map/document bag. Single flap, shoulder strap, od green in color.

It is my "purse", and if anybody doesn't like it - I'll hit 'em with it.... :D
