I have a t6 and t8. I don't need the whole set. They work well and don't strip screws.

When the internet was a much smaller place and discussions would often be more frank, it was suggested on Benchmades forum that they use more M2 (late nineties). Benchmade agreed that the steel was in fact more optimal in a lot of ways that the stainless they were using however the cost of marketin...

I didn't read all the posts so this might have been suggested already. It seems to me that the desirability is because of the scarcity of knives with the steels used. Why not release production fixed blades in the same steels? Sell them for profit. People want the steels and they'll sell. The mules ...

Computers read binary. Hard drives are advertised in hexadecimal. They are roughly 91% of what is advertised.

Mr Goodcents is decent around here. They slice the meat and cheese fresh, unlike Subway. The Goodcents near me has fresh bread daily and is kept absolutely immaculate.

You can find almost anything on the internet. You might try YouTube and looking for books on be a butcher. Also try to find a local one, offer to pay for a couple sessions to learn firsthand.

As for the knives, that's marketing for you.

For Spydercos I choose between my Sage 2 and Gayle Bradley. The Sage 2 is for office carry in slacks, the Gayle Bradley is for casual Friday and weekends.

I've kept my limit at $150 so far but I'm wanting a Domino pretty bad. It's the first knife in a while that has made me want to go over the $150 mark.

I have other brands that aren't centered consistently. My Spydercos are fairly well centered except the L...

When I first received the knife it was difficult to disengage the lockbar, but it became easier to disengage over time. It's still "stiff" but in a way that feels secure. I didn't modify the knife at all.
