I know you probably all think that the Lavender Fes...

The tactical in this type of pen should be left out, just like the same word that describe certain knives. They are heavy duty pens that can help you out when superior tools are not readily available. They are not magic wands, but with adequate empty hand skills it can give an increase force multip...

I modded my SF pen by replacing the 440 stainless steel BB with a Silicone nitride ceramic BB. My testing showed the SS BB was pretty mediocre at breaking glass, while the ceramaic works quite well. From my original test: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa226/markgreenman/windowafterCerBB.jpg He...

Wow that's deep. I'm surprised he puts health over family. But I'm sure he means good. I really like this. If his health fails, his family could fall apart. Then, even Spyderco could collapse. Things like this are not unheard of in life. For myself, I put my business at the top. If that fails, my e...

I have had a home in the desert for 34 years, and have seen two ot three snakes in that time.

Our cat's recently caught a small on about 2.5" inside the house.

But, nothing like what you had. That was awful!

I have the Hinderer Kubaton System with the pen attachment. I have used it in business settings and people have asked where I bought it.

Also, I have signed a couple of traffic tickets with it.

Product placement even not in scenes with the principal talent is still worth something.

Yeah wouldn't using the Spyderco bug logo be just as bad as leaving branding words on a prop? Normally I wouldn't think that it'd be that big of a deal, but knowing how Spydercos are normally used in movies (i.e. as a scary weapon by a bad bad man), I'd think Spyderco might have an interest in cont...

Bravo to the Prop. Master of whatever production that was in, and also to the foam artist.

Really well done.

Thanks for the photo. Can you rent it, or is it a sale only Prop. house?

Call your MP at once, and No. 10. They need to lift the ban on non-locking blades, forthwith, so no other injuries happen! :mad:

Also, just exactly did these "Nurses" at the party look like? :D

Thanks for your Bio, I love to hear what people do for a living.

I have an opportunity to go to NORAD with a General in June, and maybe I can stop at Spyderco, if we use the Denver Airport.

All the best,

Iceland's Eyjafjoell Volcano Nightmare!

Any one having problems because of the Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano?

This thing is a huge disaster! Anyone stuck away from home, or waiting for a shipment of a knife from a dealer, or e-Bay?

I have many relatives in London, hope everyone in the UK, and all of Europe is doing OK!
