Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

The only thing crazier than that deal would be me buying another Para2.

Re: Sprig Re-run

I use my Sprig and Southfork a lot.

I still hope for a premium Bow River and a premium fillet knife.

Magnacut would be nice for a fillet knife.

Re: Two Advice Questions: All comments welcome

1) I use stainless bowls all the time when cooking. I also cook on stainless pans a lot. Stainless steel is ubiquitous in commercial kitchens and food manufacturing/processing. I wouldn’t worry about eating off it. 2)Depends a lot on where you live. Lots of folks live off grid here. You can get sola...

Re: Let's see your very first Spyderco (or at least the one you've had the longest)

A friend gifted me a Benchmade and I carried it for ten years. I didn’t know much about premium knives even while I carried it but I liked it and carried it every day. One day he told me that he had the same one but lost it and that it was discontinued so I gifted it back to him. At that time I was ...

Re: Does you S.O. asks you this question?

My wife couldn’t care less about knives or how many I buy. She expects me to keep the kitchen knives sharp but that is as far as her interest goes. We never talk about them. She also doesn’t care about me spending money as long as all the bills are getting paid. We aren’t rich but we are comfortable...

Re: 2023 price increases?

In the past year I have only bought one Spyderco at full price. That was the recent 4V ManixXL which had a reasonable price for something unique. Before that it was the Magnacut Mule about 11 months ago. I have disposable income so I will keep buying things I really want but that seems to be happeni...

Re: Long Timers: How has this forum changed?

I don’t think the forum has changed as much as the knife community has.

We are dinosaurs, forums aren’t what they used to be. Social media changed the game.

Re: What grit finish for a hunting/fishing knife?

If he isn’t a knife guy then he will probably appreciate the coarser edge. I harvested a turkey with my bow this afternoon. We are allowed to take one in October here. I filled that tag with just a couple days left. Winner winner, turkey dinner. Broke it down with the sprig. https://i.imgur.com/oY62...

Re: Best Spydercos for Pumpkin Carving?

Something small for control and a thin blade because pumpkins are hard. I’d probably pick a Delica or Native. For me, what the native gives up in blade geometry it makes up for in controllable ergonomics.

Re: Manix 2 XL St.Nicks Knives Exclusive

Ordered Friday and delivered Monday! Excellent! My specimen is great.

Put it to use right away. Harvested about 20 pounds of Shiitake and got to dehydrating.

Re: St. Nicks 4V Military 1

Strange that folks don’t like the red/black considering they seem to be Spyderco’s official colors or at least the colors they use the most.

I don’t like coated blades much but I’ll buy pretty much any Military.

Yeah, I’m on it! It’s been way to long since I have been able to add another flavor of my favorite knife to the pile.
