The real question is whether Barry was able to locate the "Q"s that he was looking for.

For pictures of some of the "Q"s scroll down on my webpage. More pics coming soon.

After talking to people that have been involved in cutlery operations in China, the general feeling is that when there is tight oversight of the factory by Western interests, the quality can be quite high. Once the oversight goes away, corners tend to get cut. It is difficult to manage a Chinese fac...

Interesting. Does the latch lock it in the open position? Or is the only thing that keeps the handles together in the open position hand pressure? Thanks.

When you order a numbered Spydie you can sometimes select a particular number. I try for multiples of 10 or 25.

It is the new self-clipping lanyard. I probably could move it down a little. Ideally the clip bolt could be replaced with a hollow one that would solve the problem of drilling a hole. :o <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Spyderwa Rare Spydercos www.angelfire.co...

Thanks, It is frustrating that I even have to ask, but nowadays there are so many places that are restricting knives of one sort or another that I have to check. I think that there were some restrictions on the Matriarch, LEO only, but I was unsure on the Civies. Thanks. Spyderwa Rare Spydercos www....

Deacon, I like that. That is the first time I've seen both knot styles at once. It looks very grippable. Nice work.

The Spyderpac is a large knife roll that is available through the Spyderco Factory Store. There are three variations available. I will try to post a good picture when I get a chance. The roll is made out of a heavy Cordura with clear windows to see each knife in it's pocket. It rolls up and comes wi...

If anyone wants an Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of their Spyderco Collection, just email me and I can send it as an attachment. Some of you allready have it. It really helps keep track of what you have tied up in your collection, and if you should lose it, it might help with insurance. Spyderwa R...

What if the Dodo did have a lanyard hole? I made some modifications to a photo to see what it would look like, and where you could do it. What do you think?

Civilian Sales Etiquette

Just a quick opinion needed. When selling my 1st gen. and CF Civilians, are there limits on who I can sell to? Of course I would not sell to a kid, but are there limits on mailing them? (California or Canada?) As always thanks for your advice.

I have #100, so I guess that there are at least that many. Probably more.

I also use 32 slot SpyderPacs. I have 3 with two of them full of Spydercos. The other holds the occasional Buck, Benchmade, Chris Reeves, etc. Some overflow goes in a plastic Ikea tub in sleeves. Together they live in my gun safe downstairs. My edc Spydercos reside in a small set of drawers that sit...

The Spyderwrench is a very unique tool that you really have to hold to understand. It is very well thought out and logical. It has the advantage of being able to come apart so you can have the screwdriver to turn a screw while using the other half to hold the nut. Because it can separate into two ha...
