Remember scientists depend on grant money for research. If they can make their experiments seem important enough to save the entire planet then they will receive an endless supply of grants.(Think job security!)

I can see how a Tanto blade with a chisel grind,( like those found on Emerson knives ) would have a stronger tip for piercing. My question is, do the Tanto blades with a V grind have any strength advantages over a drop point blade or a clip blade? Also, if anyone has ever used a Tanto shaped blade a...

I have not had the opportunity to handle a Kopa. After trying a search it seems as if it is a good alternative for a fan of the kiwi who prefers a clip. My question is about the clip. Is it sturdy enough for an EDC? Is it an extra-tight clip or will it slide out of blue jeans without pulling up the ...

Jimd, thanks for the job you're doing. It sounds to me that you handled that situation really well! I was curious, you said that this incident happened when you first started. Now that you have many more experiences under your belt, what more could you do in the same situation now? Thanks again, Joe

Ted, does the 75 mm Persian have the same upswept tip as the full sized Persian? I can't tell from the pictures.

Thanks, Joe

Alton Brown was in Kansas City Saturday at a large furniture and appliance store. He gave a 45 minute cooking demonstration on GE appliances that he helped develop. At the book signing that followed I asked him about a Spyderco Delica that he used on one of his cooking shows. At first he thought I w...

I received a Smokey Mountain Knife Works Christmas catalog this past Monday. It contained a Victorinox gift set that includes a Soldier model knife with a Charles Elsener signature etch on the blade and a hardback copy of the book Swiss Army Knives:A Collector's Companion .(This book is the Spyderco...

Robert Stroud = Birdman of Alcatraz

Tony Hawk = Birdman of Capistrano

Sal Glesser = Byrdman of Colorado

Question?

If you "give 'em the Byrd"

Does that mean you don't give a flock :confused:

In today's politically correct world,

Don't choke-you chicken :o

Pull your Byrd in public :eek:

It only takes one hand :D

Before Sal there was the nail nick. Opening knives wasn't quick. His historical role, Was the Opening Hole. Now opening knives is quite slick! P.S. If this wins the contest I am available to do a dramatic reading at the Spyderco Factory Outlet. ;) Thanks, Joe

Over the weekend my 300 watt backyard light stopped working. At first I was surprised because it was "new", but after I thought about it,it had been 2 1/2 years since I had replaced it. I picked up a 2 pack of halogen replacement bulbs for $6.47. When I went to replace the bulb I found tha...

My uses are pretty much like the other postings: 1. Opening mail kitchen work cutting down recycle materials opening purchases and removing the info tags from new clothes yard and garden work 2. Hiking and camp use have on hand in case of emergency By the way, I just purchased a Persian 2 days ago! ...

This year I want to be more giving of my time to help others!! :)

This past weekend I attended the local gun show. Since this was the last show before Christmas, the larger knife dealers went to larger venues. There was only one Spyderco in the entire show. :eek: It was a C52SBK Calypso Jr. It was in the box which contained the plastic bag and the warranty papers....

Thanks in advance!!! Happy Holidays :)

I know a lot of people are watching it and enjoying it without the "monsters." I watch the show every week. I enjoy the characters. I hope they aren't going to inject monsters into the story if they run out of character storylines. Oh well, if they put in monsters I'll still watch. :o Joe
