Re: Spyderco Throwing Knives?

Oh ok. I sent an email and asked about that. If I’m on the hook for shipping, I’d rather do it once than 3x. :/

Thx man

Re: Spyderco Throwing Knives?

After my first session was cut short, I was curious if anyone else was having issues with these. Medium thrower snapped on me after a half dozen throws or so. https://i.imgur.com/2tJZEWe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3iFlOnd.jpg Yep, I had one of my large Spyderthrowrs snap nearly the same way.

Re: Spyderco Siren Observations

Got my warranty replacement in today. Very happy to have this lightweight knife back in rotation.

The ergos really are exceptional. Love the extra grip the texture offers. Magnacut would put this thing over the top! A real EDC favorite of mine.

Knife steels all over the planet are shivering in fear looking at that nail test setup.

Awesome feedback Lance! Exciting stuff.

I sharpen the holes, they're the best tool I've found for skinning hotdogs.

Nice! Lol. Well case closed thankfully. I zoomed in on that pic and thought I saw “pitting” for sure.

All of my Spyderco’s are shiny smooth there. Never have seen one pitted at all. Looks off to me.

I could live with my K390 SS Stretch.

It would be tough to part with my GB1…and so many others!

That is really cool. Period. BUT, the fact that your wife did that for you is super cool! Very good.

The result of sloppy one-hand closing my AEB-L Urban, my chosen package knife for the morning. But not the afternoon!
Ouch! One of those moments when you wish for a do-over.

Why? Lack of edge holding?
Yeah really just personal preference. I’ve had several knives in it. It’s just thoroughly unremarkable to me. For basic carbon steel level edge retention I’d rather have a nice patina.

Re: MT35P - CPM MagnaCut Mule Team - Release Date

Just received mine. Well half of it at least. Ordered/paid for 2 Mules with 2 sets of scales. Only 1 of each was in the box! :( I’m excited to finally have some Magnacut in hand, but this was a bit of a curve ball. Had the second one promised to a buddy. Anyone else had that happen? How did this tu...

Re: Your Magna Cut Mule performance.

Finally got a little bit of time with mine this morning. Nothing super intensive, but made a few dozen cardboard cuts. Edge seems relatively unaffected by that. Like Rashman, just using the factory edge so far, which was barely scrape shaving sharp. The Mule as a work knife is pretty wonderful! Stab...
