I think that I am done with buying anymore sharpeners too.

I have stuck with DMT and Spyderco stones for the most part.

I don't even bother with going past the DMT 600-grit red stone or the Spyderco brown stone most of the time now.

I can't really find anything to add to the Endura 4, it is great just the way it is.

A great large knife that has superior ergonomics that work in a variety of grip positions.

(I'd like to see the Military 2 make it into production soon!)

I finally got mine today.

I had to request it twice to get it.

I am getting it for a coworker, as I prefer the .PDF versions, since they are much easier to get.

I like most of the various knife companies. I have more Spydercos that any other brand too. Kershaw is one of my favorite knife companies, I only got into them recently. I think that they are doing a lot of neat designs with some great custom makers through collaborations. There is a lot of great in...

Yes, I have ordered from them within the past few months. One of the owners used to post on another well-known knife forum before they went to having all of the special and different levels of membership. They sent an order confirmation email message, but not a "order has shipped" message,...

I haven't been keeping up with the latest sharpening gear, because I went with DMT sharpeners for the most part. Been using their products for 15+ years now and haven't had any problems with them at all. I did recently purchase the full set of Spyderco's benchstones for final edge polishing/finishin...

From what Sal said a month or so back on USN, it should be fairly soon.

I am guessing with the next two months.

The newer Benchmade in question is actually a lot closer in overall appearance to a Kershaw Lahar from a few years ago to me.

There was a picture of the new Rescue 3 posted on Spyderco's Facebook page a while ago.

It was for a "Which do you prefer: folders or fixed blades?" question.

I picked one of these up and am pleased with it.

The handle is a bit slippery, but still quite usable.

It is a great choice in the 3-inch blade category, like the Caly3/3.5 and Delica 4 FFG.

I wish I would have gotten a Centofante 4 when they were still available.

I believe that this is the first production knife to use the "lightning strike" carbon fiber.

I have only seen it on customs until this one.

At least on my Columbia River Sampa, it has the normal ball bearing detent on the liner lock.

It also has a hidden stop pin.
