I don't have one. It really makes me mad when I'm trying to talk to someone and their phone rings and they actually answer it. The whole texting thing is even more annoying than that.

It was all done with fun intended. When I start threads, my goal in a lot of them is to get the wheels rolling to maybe spark new ideas. It's pretty easy to get caught talking about the same things over and over. I've said before, it was obviously a mistake that I didn't search before doing this. T...

No need for one for knives that can be bought at dealers or the SFO.
It would need to be moderated to keep out models in production or others makers knives.
Excellent idea!!!

I love the C-46. I have carried and used my G-10 CE quite a bit. It locks up very solid. The sound this thing makes when you open it is unlike any other knife I have. A very reassuring thwak. I recently got the PE blk blade and havn't brought myself to use it yet. I have used my Ti Tanto's for very ...

As for the smallest hole, I think the Zowada beats them all (note that I'm talking about a full size spydie, not the miniature ones, like the Ladybug, Mini Police, Hummingbirds and such). The Viele's have pretty small holes also (as far as full sized knives). Don't have a Zowada, but maybe someone ...

Glad there were no physical injuries with your mishap. You might need some counsiling for the PTSD of almost shearing your junk.

In no way do I think this is a bad knife. It's an awesome knife, I just didn't realize the hole was so little. Maybe I'll keep it. It's tough to say right now. :) David, sounds like you're too accustomed to the hole on the Mili ;) . I have the same problem. Try opening the Viele's after EDC'ing a M...

I would recommend the mini Persian over the Volpe. F & F on the Persian(s) seems better than on the Volpe, but they are both excellent. I would even recommend the full size Persian over the mini if you can swing it. Not as NKP friendly as the mini, but not as bad guy friendly either ;) . Here's ...
