Tip down - next to the outside edge of the right rear pocket.

Front right pocket is wallet - harder for a pickpocket to get at the wallet there.

Well, it's probably heresy, but I do use my Yojimbo as a glorified box cutter. Works darn good, too!!!!

I'm with Francisco here - I like convex sharpened knives, and usually resharpen non-convex knives to a convex edge. The basic tool I use is a piece of leather mounted on a wood block with increasingly finer grades of wet/dry sandpaper. Makes for a very sharp, very durable edge.

Just picked one up - a very nice knife that appears about to become my EDC. Good feel, smooth action, good lock, and I really like the blade shape.

Thanks for the enabling!

What???? No pictures??????? :eek:

We need a whole series of photos to learn the proper technique for using a Spyderco on a tick!!!!!

Please go get another tick and photograph the process for us - thanks! :D

At this point the locking bar is more than half way across the base of the blade.

While a gun of large caliber would certainly be preferred for going mano-a-mano with a cougar or bear, if you go back and read up on all the known /recorded encounters between people and large predatory animals in North America, a surprising number of people have used a knife and come out on top ...

I use a hawkbill primarily in the garden, and the PE works just fine for me.

So what is the likelihood of a Ti ParaMilitary coming along one of these days?

Just personally, I think that would be even better than the Ti Military! :eek:

A friend gave me a friction forged blade this past year. The edge is probably under 15 degrees total - very thin. It seems to keep its sharpness quite well.

When working on a animal carcass, I happened to catch the edge on a bone while slicing through some gristle. The edge rolled in one very ...
