Re: CBSA Crazy Eh, Ohhh Canada

Nothing is safe. A member of a group I am in had a traditional slip joint seized at the border because they considered it a "centrifugal knife" and therefor a prohibited weapon under their interpretation of the law. I can't believe this is still going on

Spyderhawk

A couple of Spyderhawks recently wandered into my collection. Aside from the obvious difference in the pocket clip, the yellow one is pinned and the orange is screwed. Were these updates found on the originals, or just the orange sprint run?

Re: Lock rock

The Spydiechef has a very thin lock bar, and the lock face is not perpendicular to the lock bar itself. The combination of the two allows the lock bar to flex at the frame, which leads to lock rock and late lockup on these knives. Next time you open your knife, watch the gap between the lock and the...

Why not just order one through a legitimate Canadian retailer?

the only other tanto is the Lum c46 folder which is also a limited/sprint spyderco.

What about the Double Bevel? Is this not considered a Tanto? I think it is discontinued but it is still in stock in a few places.

Again- stupid website: I tried logging in again but with no success. I tried the username and password resets but it said there is no account linked to my email address. OK, so back to square one.

Re: 2020 Seconds Sale - BREAKING NEWS

But on the other hand, you should have at least listed down or remembered your password especially knowing that there is going to be a sale like this, and it was anticipated by a lot of people weeks before. At least a day before you should have prepared your account and your password, credit card, ...

Re: 2020 Seconds Sale - BREAKING NEWS

I missed out on today's sales because of the website crashing. Just now, I tried logging into my account to make sure everything is all set. I couldn't remember my password so I did a password reset. I tried logging in with the new password and it didn't work. I tried again, and now I am locked out ...

Re: Golden Quality

Ive been picking up more Golden models than anything else lately. Are you complaining that the lockbar jimping is at a different angle than the blade spine jimping? Every single native 5 I have seen or handled does that. I dont know why, but it doesnt effect anything either. Whats wrong with the gr...

Re: Golden Quality

Haven't noticed any issues from any of the Golden models I've received lately. I also don't look at my knives with a magnifying glass like some do either. FWIW, my REX45 N5 LW and both of my St Nicks N5s don't look like yours Also, the jimping in your St Nick's N5 looks much better to me than the S...

Golden Quality

Has anyone noticed the quality of Golden made knives go downhill lately? I recently picked up a Rex 45 Native 5 LW and I am really not impressed with this: https://fotobucket.site/uploads/cb72b3de8a61659bb0c46f914b2f718eb26db32f.jpg My new St Nick's exclusive is much better, but stacked up against a...
