No autos... I'm happy with Lamnia except for no autos.

For the last 10 years I've been doing most of my purchases from Knifeworks. The downside for me it's not necessarily the shipping cost / customs, it's the fact I need to wait 10-14 days for the package to arrive... Whenever I feel the urge for instantaneous gratification I buy from Lamnia, typicall...

Which French sellers? That is the question.

As some have said it's customs and fees we're worried about. Yes we pay high high prices in EU. But at least no surprises, customs, import fees, misc. charges etc. if we order from American shops. It's tempting but often backfires. How can it backfire? Fees are fixed and you can calculate them. If ...

So the thread I'm basing this on has a lot of good info on American shops. Please list shops in the EU that you personally use and that give you good prices and service. I'll start it off with a known entity, Lamnia. They are friendly and answer emails quickly. They ship same day in my experience. T...

Good point. Thank you. I did not think about that.

I don't have a delica yet! I realize I need to change that.

I sold all my other Spydercos cause i only like the delica :)

Sweet. I have one of those on my list...

Why no forum stickies for FAQ, aftermarket parts, etc.?

A lot of great info but hard to find for forum n00bs such as myself :D

Thank you.

Checking in late but ... good cigars don't come in cellophane :D

I like the looks of the Adamas also. .160 blade thickness is just what the doctor ordered. It's on my list.

Tip down all the way for over 30 years. The only other option for me is tip sideways if I'm carrying a stockman in my pocket. No lanyards.

I was thinking H1 would be great for food prep because you can wash the blade with hot soapy water and not oil it. Sounds pretty ideal and I'm going to get at least one for this when I can decide which one I want. Are there any parts that can rust on salt series folders? No, not at all. Some people...

Said the spyderco owner. No pun intended!

Thanks I bookmarked that from your other post in my native frn thread. I haven't come across other recommendations for that site and I usually like to see a handful of comments before I take a chance with a new shop.

My buddy brought his Microtech OTF to the office yesterday to show me and some of our co-workers.

Nobody was harmed or alarmed or arrested or fired.

Personal responsibility and freedom. What concepts!

+1 for Lamnia. I bought twice from them in the last month and both orders were shipped immediately and the guy is really responsive. You pay pretty much list price and VAT in Finland is 24% but you get no surprises and great service. The guy has definitely made a new customer the way he has handled ...
