Re: D01 display case

Greetings all,

If anyone is interested, I have what I believe is the first Spyderco display case. It was made specifically for the first six Clipit knives in the mid '80s. If so, let me know, and I will post a few photos of it in the Spyderco Archeology thread in the picture gallery.

Cheers,

Re: The Last Jedi (No Spoilers)

Do you think there have been crazy situations where someone who saw a movie like this left the theater and saw the others waiting online to watch it...and intentionally spoiled it for them, told them the end or what happens to notable characters, and this broke out in a physical fight?

Re: Frivolous Lawsuits: Can society end them?

SEF, I understand your frustration with frivolous lawsuits. However, the Federal legal system already has within its rules of civil procedure, FRCP Rule 11, which provides for sanctions against an attorney, law firm, or party for filing a frivolous lawsuit. You can read it here if you so wish: https...

Saw it six hours ago. It was okay -- better than the last one. (Mark Hamill, meh.) Very entertaining. You'll be glad afterwards.

Re: Strange Accounts of Ancient "Super" knives and swords: Your thoughts wanted.

@Michael Scott, Just for the sake of clarity, you are -- in essence -- setting forth a "logic-based" (I presume) proposition that shunsui's reference to the sole Antikythera mechanism is -- a fortiori -- on even "thinner ground, indeed", right? In other words, the existence of on...

Re: Strange Accounts of Ancient "Super" knives and swords: Your thoughts wanted.

Hello everyone, I have a had a lifelong interest in weapons, blades, and the arcane. I just wanted to chime in to say I agree with Doc Dan on the wide-spread use of meteorites in blades throughout ancient history, civilizations, and numerous ages (e.g. Stone, Bronze, Iron). Here is a recent article ...

Wow, those are some cool-looking older Spydies! What model are the serrated ones in your pics, Hattori Hanzo? These aren't my favorite knives I own (that'd be my black serrated Native) but they're tied in second place: http://i.imgur.com/WwuZcyl.jpg Greetings Embry, I, too, love my black SE Natives...
