Re: Upping the price.
Wall Street is building houses and AirBNB is renting them. I can’t imagine why things are getting more and more out of reach for more and more people. /s

Re: Different knife different day, or one knife for life?
I’m not in either camp. One knife for life, in view of the decades Spyderco has offered delicious varieties of models, is just cutting off my nose to spite my face. And to soften any compulsion I might have to cycle my 100+ unique Spydie models one day to the next, I let my unbidden curiosity lead ...

Re: New Steel Testing Method! My wife and the cupboard.

Re: Love of the Nub
“In for a penny, in for a pound”, I prefer a nub on a finger-choil, especially when the finger-choil is not jimped and a sharpening-choil sits just beyond.

Re: Caribbean Adjustment?
Get a torx set and tighten. That set will serve you for other Spydies, too.

Re: Chinook 5?
Having just acquired my OG Chinook grail this week, and a Chinook4 last year, I’m really curious to know what a Chinook5 will feature, hence this bump. Have detailed Glesser-Keating talks actually proceeded such that a prototype has actually been presented at a show? I’ve heard not even a rumor. If ...

Re: Vote: Kick? Choil? Forward? Other?
I have voted “Forward” but only because the Bodacious has all my attention at the moment.
Honestly, though, all the many Spydies I have with kicks, choils and other I like more than enough to keep.

Re: new coating coming!
Lubricity has piqued my curiosity and I will pursue this new coating. Who knows, maybe I’ll backfill the other coatings that I have avoided once the concept has been proven to me.

A Different Bi-Directional FRN
My recent acquisition of a Chaparral5 and a Maxamet Sage5 has made me aware of FRN scales with a Bi-Directional Texturing that is not typical of Seki models. https://i.postimg.cc/wv2cJFCh/IMG-0148.jpg I’m often slow to the party. Who knows the future and reasons for this design, which is so satisfyi...
