Hi ... spoons, Welcome to our forum. The technology is not there at this time to make a coarser ceramic that we currently make. That doesn't mean that it may not be there in the future? When I first designed the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, I also designed the Golden Stone. The Golden Stone was a portable...

PASSES ARE ALL TAKEN

I received a reply today saying all the VIP passes were taken. I sent my request email within hours of the posting of this thread. Thread is still open and unedited despite saying it would be closed when they were all taken.

I am very disappointed.

if the Police 4 came in ComboEdge partial serrations I would get one. But if the plainedge is selling poorly, it seems like there would even less of a business case for a comboedge, which is even less popular as i understand it.

I can recommend the Fish Hunter for an additional niche: litter removal while Kayaking. To elaborate: Today I participated in a kayak based litter pickup and got to use the Fish Hunter that I purchased for this exact use. It excelled at many tasks and did so much better than any other knife in my si...

Fate has favored me with the ability to attend this years show. Count me in. despite the generic username.

I ended up switching EDC from a matched SpyderEdge / PlainEdge pair of 1st gen FFG G-10 Police to a 60/40 Military. Serrated edge is just so useful for sawing through things otherwise too big for a plainedge blade of that size.

I have been toying with the idea idea for a while myself, letting it percolate through the brain. Here is what I have come up with so far. Due to the small size, there is really no way to have both a clip and a lanyard hole without making the whole thing larger, and totally changing the design. So l...

There was an ulu-esqe retractable blade prototype at the 2002 Blade Show. They described it as having a blade wider than long, possibly allowing to it to pass some of the shortest legal blade limits. It had an s curve that gave it a hook at one end. As for fixed blades, the Maddox has an ulu shaped ...

The Sustain as it is, is perfect...

Well I got it back out and I retract my statement of it needing a tapered tang.

Small runs of a new steel. I feel like this is the reason the Mule series exists.

I am guessing he skipped scanning from one angle, otherwise it would have shown up properly.

Will there be more tapered tang fixed blades in the future? I am quite pleased with what the tapered tang does for the Darn Dao. I wish the Southfork and Sustain had tapered tangs. Here's hoping the WaterWay will have a tapered tang. Edit: I just remembered the waterway will be designed so ELU or th...

TazKristi, I remember seeing it somewhere also. I think is was on one of the advertblogs for an online knife retailer, a video I think.

Agreed that the round hump looks nicer, but you lose some functionality with that particular delete, unless you can regrind the lost jimping. Leave the hump alone.

Ok, I will be the Devil's Advocate (and speak for some of those who do not like it). For me, whenever I have tried out a compression lock at a Brick and Mortar, it just does not work for me. It bites part of my palm while opening over half the time. And disengaging the Compression lock with the inde...

I did a search for great salt lake and the post did not come up. I made a reasonable assumption.

Oh man that is pretty scary stuff. A scuba diver some years back told me some machine shops around marinas where divers frequent have made what they call an "Anti Shark Pike": This consists of a solid or telescoping rod/shaft (with locks that keep it rigid when extended) that has a very s...
