Thanks James. I found a nice block of Jarrah at work so now I can start working out where to put the slots. No point ordering a carving knife or a bread knife for a while yet, I guess <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. In answer to your last question, so you get to play...

I referred Afee over here, can anyone help him out? Joyce, Vince?

James, I'm reminded of a dinner party once, with a lady who was husbanding a small suburban colony of fruit bats. She was caring for an abandoned baby and was keeping it inside her sweater for warmth. It was most disconcerting to be trying to carry on a conversation and keep looking her in the eye, ...

Anybody? Please <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Paul, This is a subject very dear to me <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. The blade is about 3 1/8" and made from VG10 steel. Handle is green Almite and about 4 3/8". The liner lock incorporates Spyderco's eccentric pivot and offset arc ramp. Price, who cares...

Keeping this one alive <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

To date I make it 14 votes for the pearl scale and 5 for coloured G10. Anybody else?

Silly question, eh Mike <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>, I should've known you'd be involved <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. I wasn't aware of Spyderco's involvement though, however it doesn't surprise me given my own experience of Sal...

<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> You can blame Fherrhet for that Mike. He gets on the computer when he first gets up in the morning and his p...

I just received a Santoku and a Paring knife (thanks James <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>) and have been bitten by the "bug". I eventually want to get the whole set but, before I do, I would like to make a wood block to house them. I need to know the maximu...

Brent, I'll have a go at answering your queries. 1. Yes it does take a long time to rebevel good steels. Sal has said that they are working on replacements for the diamond sleeves but they are not available yet. Joe Talmadge's solution is to lay a diamond stone against the ceramic rod so that the an...

Ferret, Sorry mate, I've been away on a school camp for most of the week and only just saw your post. However I can tell you, without looking in the book, that I don't agree. The C22 Michael Walker is a fabulous light knife but it is not a true lightweight i.e. FRN. The C37 Michael Walker Ltwt fits ...

Yes red, I should have known that :o. I checked out the latest cattledog too, but didn't look at the last page. I'd decided it must be the special edition Worker but I knew that wasn't due till next year. Guess I just failed Spyderco 1 <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>....

OK red, I give up <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. I know the C01 is the Worker, I also know that the Worker only comes serrated. So, what is a SC01P? Enquiring minds need to know <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Clay Don't worry that t...

No we do have our own Australian dollar, though it's not worth much at the moment <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. You might find this article by Mission knives informative, http://www.missionknives.com/articles/sealtales2.html Clay Don't worry that the world might end ...

It is my understanding that the pearl is not plastic but is real pearl shell laminated to the G10. I chose it because it would make the knife look more like Frank Centofante's custom knives which use a similar blade. Frank's G10 "tactical" knives have a different blade shape. The C25 is su...

440A is <b>not </b> a better steel than AUS8. I checked my steel chart and 440A has 0.65-0.75% Carbon compared to 0.70-0.75% in AUS8. OTOH 440A has more Chromium which will make it more stain resistant but interferes with the grain structure causing the formation of large carbides. AUS8 has an extre...

Sal, Whatever happened to those burgundy Calypso Jrs? I had intended to keep hassling Michelle but I got diverted onto other things, like the Chinese Folder <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. Trouble making again <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=m...

The BladeForums' Steel FAQ by Joe Talmadge is a good place to start: http://www.BladeForums.com/features/faqsteel.shtml

I spent some time reading "The Spyderco Story" yesterday (thanks Ferret <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>) and gained some insights into the design ideas behind the Snap-It and Remote Release. It seems that the Snap-It was designed to be carried high on the bo...
