Re: Different knife different day, or one knife for life?

I’ve owned and collected Spyderco’s for long enough that I know exactly what I like, and what works for me.

Re: RIP - Toby Keith

I've never been a Country music fan, but man back in the day when he'd show up on the Bob & Tom show I became a huge fan of his, the guy was hilarious, he would have them rolling!

Re: Vote: Kick? Choil? Forward? Other?

I honestly enjoy them all, been using two different forward designs lately but I can make them all work for me just fine. Variety is the spice…..

Any of you hatchet heads see the scene where Chris Pratt used what looks like a Winkler hatchet in The Terminal List?

Re: Ho Ho Ho, it’s a K390 Christmas!

I knew I’d like the LeafJumper, everything about it on paper checks all the boxes for me, and I was right, fantastic knife! Wasn’t all that sure about the Lil’ Temperance but wanted to try one, well now that I’ve been using it for well over a month, this is one great little workhorse, perfect for my...

Re: Manix 2XL Brown Cruwear?

..... Does anyone knife if the cruwear Manix 2XL will retain the same skeletonized handle liners and retain the same overall weight as the original? Will textured micarta be any more abrasive to pant pockets than G10? How does cruwear look after years of pocket use? Thanks all Welcome! - The Cruwea...

I have two GB1's and a Caly 3.5, they're both knives ;), seriously they couldn't be more different from each other!

One that didn't surprise me....the serrated K390 LeafJumper, I knew it was going to be fantastic before I ever held or used it!

"The Native 5 was a knife I wanted to surprise me with it beefy size in a small package. Hey, maybe something that could be strong big brother to the Delica."

You need to give the Lil' Temperance a try!

Right on! That was the first Rush album I listened to. Was hooked ever since. Still my favorite recording of theirs. 😎

Re: EDC recommendation: Native 5 LW – S30V or SPY27?

Get your new knife & Sharpmaker, watch Sal’s video….several times and it’ll all click, you’ll figure it out. With SPY27 you’ll be perfectly fine with the fine and medium rods that comes with the kit. I’m not a sharpening guru, I sharpen everything on the Sharpmaker, serrated, carbon tool steels,...

Thank you for all the great feedback! I just placed an order for a Native 5 with SPY27 and a Shapemaker.

Not a bad choice.

Hope you´ll report back how you like them.
Ha, can't wait to hear which knife he's planning on next, cause you know it's gonna happen! ;)

Welcome aboard, feel like this is carried over from Glocktalk? Lots of super nice, very knowledgeable guys here! Man you’re getting ready to jump down a rabbit hole there’s no coming back from! If this is the guy from Glocktalk, I still stand by my recommendation, a VG-10 LeafJumper and a Sharpmaker...
