Re: Your Ideal Folder for Hiking & Backpacking is....

My ideal/preferred Spyderco for hiking, backpacking, or field work would be the original Spyderco Manix C95 PE lockback. Love the flat grind on the blade and the beautifully contoured handle for a secure grip. It's a big knife that'll do both big jobs and fine work. I also like the dependability of ...

Re: Sharpening for kitchen use

I sharpen my mother's kitchen knives, especially to get them ready for the holidays. To do this, I use the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker (204MF) because I just can't quite get the flat stone sharpening technique down... that said, having used the Sharpmaker for so long has given me some amount of co...

Re: CCW revolver

I do like semi-automatic pistols, especially SIG Sauer, but I find comfort in a revolver.

When it comes to revolvers, I stay with Smith & Wesson and Ruger. I prefer a .357 magnum for a revolver since you can also shoot .38 Special and .38 Special +P in it.

Re: 22 Years Since 9/11... Spyderco World Trade Center Knife

Thanks for the link. That knife, with the NY skyline...wow. I'm throwing a suggestion in the hat for a 25th anniversary commemorative Sprint of some sort in three years. Perhaps the factory expansion will allow room for it. You're welcome! It is very nice and very special. Nice idea on the 25th Ann...

I shot both images handheld and with a flash. The VR (Vibration Reduction) feature ...
