Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?

Hmmm ... I tore my S35 Resilience down and re-scaled it in micarta. It's been a little while, but I don't remember having any difficulties taking it apart or reassembling it.

PS. I’m not entirely convinced about Joe’s idea of shooting the slightly illiterate.
You might be surprised what being shot at can do for a mans character. :)
Not to even mention what it does to his underwear...

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll

Tip up and deep carry clips on most knives. I put custom micarta scales on my S110 Millie primarily because they allowed me to spec a tip up clip config.

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?

Love my Manix back lock. Mine is from the last release and was ordered the first day of the release. The way that back lock engages is like no other back lock I own. I generally carry something lighter and longer, but when I need a stout folder the Manix back lock is what goes in my pocket. Never di...

Re: The Astute

Dang, I've never noticed how aggressive the fully serrated edge was on the Tenacious. Looks like a real beaver and I just might have to give it a try.

Re: Future for Centofante?

Yeah, I painted with a pretty broad brush there Sal, sorry for that. The Centofante just doesn't seem to get much attention on these requests. It was one of my first Spydies and I just keep hoping that we might see another run on the 4 one day, or even a new steel. In the meantime I'll just keep enj...

My K390 Stretch makes me wonder why I would even need most of my other knives. It just excels at almost everything.

Re: A Deeper Investigation into Spyderco Diamond vs cBN: Which is better?! Why!?

A little more anecdotal evidence here. I used diamond rods on my Sharpmaker initially, but I was pretty heavy-handed with them due to inexperience. By the time I started using a lighter touch they were pretty well worn. I picked up CBN rods a couple of years ago and my touch is a lot lighter these d...

Re: Still wishing for a Chaparral XL / Endela "thin edition" / or something along that lines

I've always felt that the Endela should have been introduced with the thin blade stock of the Delica from the get-go. I'd love to see this idea get some traction.
