Native in micarta scales

I too started with the Native. Now I have progressed a bit. My beater is the lil temp and the currrent edc is the paramillie

very interesting pics. the opinel seems to hold up well. I wonder what stainless steel would duplicate the properties of carbon steel?
Would a carbon steel Manix be better than the s30v?

Hello DW!
clever idea. did you trace the spyder and cut it out or is that a punch? Mine is rather crude and needs to be redone. Looking to get a serrated Cricket someday. Take care.

anti slip tape from Lowes on the Cricket

thats a Cammilus Fisk Bowie. There is a large and small Sebenza inhere somewhere

here are a few of mine

I cant make these decisions

here comes MAMA.

I am trying to thin out the handles a bit, so here is what it looks like apart
washers are not PB, and I appreciate how the lock "self cleans" by pushing aside any dirt. Knife is very smooth, but I wonder if PB washers are available?

lets see a pic of your knife rack!!

I plastidipped my SPOT. Its very comfortable so I would not bother adding scales to the handle from the factory. A simple basic sheath would be fine, with Tec Lok holes. Put the money in the steel, VG10 of SV30, I will buy it when it becomes available.

check for dirt in between the scales and lock bar, may be debris preventing full release. I wash mine off and it becomes easier to close after a days work. I also might suggest functioning the lock without lube to assist break in and perhaps remove any burrs there. IMHO, the comp lock is the absolut...

I took the clip off mine and tied a lanyard, works fine.

I'm with VP, all the way with the native hawk.

I havent tried this, but you could heat a cheap phillips and place it in the screw. this will soften up the red loctite making it easy to remove.

Yeah, I saw that bob tail mod, really makes the knife more compact, but I like to use the tail to goose my dogs! :D The Temp mod has really changed the knifes charecter. more pocketable maintaining the nice grip. I want to thin the grips some more. Has anyone completly taken apart the Temp. How did ...

I have been reaching for the Dodo as an EDC every day now, and decided to remove the "belly" and keep the bill. Probably the most often used blade I have. The lil Temp has been a drawr queen until recently. I prefer carrying without a clip but all the lockbacks get filled with pocket lint....

I own many fine spydies, but the ones I carry most often are the Dodo, Cricket and the Centofante III. Dodo being the primary.
I have all the others, but they ae mostly weekend blades....Civilian, manix, lil temp etc... Love that Civie!
