Very likely... I've never owned a SS knife (never cared for how slick they are) so I didn't realize they were so hard to take apart. But it sounds like the OP could somewhat mimic his old knife by getting a Matriarch 2 then some Flytanium (or other company) aftermarket Endura 4 scales. They wouldn't...

Probably a mid 1930s Delahaye 135S (Special), the racing version of the 135. Although Delahaye was a big name in racing in the 1930s (e.g., finished #1 and #2 at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1938), they're not really very well known now. Here's a quick intro, and at the bottom is a link to a big galle...

It appears that it's possible to put the Matriarch blade in an Endura handle (at least the Matriarch2/Endura4 combo): https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=68075 Maybe someone combined a Matriarch blade with the stainless handles from an Endura? That'd be an easy way to get a reverse-S blade wi...

When I first read the title of your post, I thought you were sharing catalogs from the modern company that got into hot water for featuring underaged kids cavorting in their underwear. I had no idea that they originally sold outdoor gear. People back then had to be really tough. We're spoiled with ...

I just did a quick spot-check of some users that (in theory) turn 41 today. None of them have any posts. And I don't recall ever seeing those names in the "who is online" list. So my guess is that they were creating via a bot to spam the board and for whatever reason, the bot used 20 Jan 1...

In addition to the Tenacious, the Polestar also has "in house" competition from the Byrd Raven 2. There are some differences: The Byrd has a choil, teflon washers, black G10, slightly thicker blade stock, and weighs a little more. But the overall design is very similar. And they both use B...

First Spyderco purchase was in 2005. There have been 1-3 year gaps without any purchases since then, but the longest period without any purchase was about 5 years (2013-2018). Last actual Spyderco purchase was August 2018, so it's already been over two years since the last one. Although I did get se...

Bob Terzuola. He was the first custom maker to do a collab with Spyderco, and I'd love to see more from him.

I'd also love to see an update to the Ed Scott Impala, so another collab with him would great.

I've been cutting my own hair with a "Remington Shortcut" clipper for many years. This is the current version: https://www.remingtonproducts.com/products/mens/clippers-and-trimmers/hair-clippers/hc4250-shortcut-clipper-pro.aspx If you just want a basic (all one length) buzz cut, it works w...

I was browsing through the entire catalog of Spyderco trying to find something similar to a ladybug/manbug with a pocket clip and I came across the Spin which looks like a pretty good match. Unfortunately, it appears that it has been discontinued for quite some time now. What causes Spyderco to dis...

MXG Gear offers a few black clips and Lynch NW offers cerakoted clips in a bunch of different colors. So you can put a black (or other color) clip on most models.

Dragonfly wharncliffe SE. Or have a black handle option for the Salt version. (Some people don't like yellow knives.)

Straight spine stretch as a production model. Offering a SE version would be really nice too.

I'm sure there must be other great quotes from Yeager, but I saw this one many years ago and saved it: "Do something you like. Forget about the pay, for Christ's sakes. Regulate your style of living to fit your income. Just have fun in your job, that's the main thing." ~ General Chuck Yeager

Loose in a pocket, with no clip and a short piece of cord (not really a "lanyard"; just a loop with a knot at the end) to help extend the handle a bit and make it easier to fish out of the pocket. But the Dragonfly is never my only knife. I carry a SE Dragonfly to go with a larger PE knife...

I don't have any of their products so I can't take a pic, but there's a company named "Spyder Products" that makes saw blades (circular, reciprocating, hole saws, etc.): https://spyderproducts.com/ I did a bit of a double-take the first time I walked past one of their displays at a local h...

I'm listening to anything but the news...

He's not really a new artist, but I recently "discovered" Billy Strings. This is a few years old, but it's a great concert.

I only have first-hand experience with one unit: Back in 1994, I got a Pur brand backpacking filter. I don't do much backpacking any more, but back when I got it, I used it quite a bit and it always worked. At some point, Pur sold their backpacking filters to Katadyn. And the unit I have from Pur is...

Maybe the Rhino? It's not FRN, but it weighs less and is shorter than a Delica.

I don't consider "box cutter" and "utility knife" to be synonymous. Something like the Rexford RUT or Gerber Prybrid are box cutters. But they are not utility knives. No one is going to use a tool like those all day (and day after day) on a jobsite working on a roofing or drywall...
