Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
The scales are lovely, but that iron table is pretty cool, too.

Re: Good knife friendly, reasonably priced cutting board
You guys got me motivated to replace my favorite cutting board. It's old. We've had it for decades, planed it down as needed, and it's just not optimum any more. Etsy had the best selection. I picked out a cherry board in exactly the correct dimensions that I want for a general-purpose quick-and-eas...

Re: Spyderco spotted on Survivor!
That’s one of the shirts he bought for the show over 20 years ago. I'll admit that I'm not a fanboy. I don't know the details about celebrities, what they wear, or where they shop. However, I'm skeptical of your claim that the star is wearing a 20 year old shirt that he had to go out and buy himsel...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
We can wring our hands about how some scary gadget is going to steal our jobs and send robots from the future to kill us, or we can marvel at what we currently have and use it to our benefit. Gronk the Caveman was faced with a similar dilemma. His friends and family feared for his untimely demise. ...

Re: Spyderco spotted on Survivor!
It's unlikely that the prettyboy host with is perfect wardrobe, perfect lighting, and perfect camera angles would walk onto the set with his pockets bulging with personal belongings. I suspect the knife came from the prop master, or a gaffer who was sitting around sipping coffee.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
When the Manix 2 LW 15V was first announced, I KNEW I would have one. I've been discouraged that the Reveal hasn't been revealed yet, but these pictures have reinvigorated me. I'm so excited that maybe I'll even get a Military 2.

Re: Got this email about the Emerson CQC - &, Ernie smiled his guts.
The CQC-7 was a good knife for the time. I still have a Benchmade version that predates the obsession with the flippy-wavy appendage. It's nice. I would carry it today if Spyderco didn't offer designs that were far more ergonomic and useful. The whole problem with the original CQC-7 is that it's ma...

Re: What are you listening to?
I saw him once for half a set before he got boo'ed off stage. The rock 'n roll world just wasn't ready for an androgynous little guy dressed up in purple and singing in falsetto while skipping around. Those were different times.

Re: Jende Spyderco stones for guided sharpeners.
I'm glad Sal said it and not me. When using language so crude on the forum, one should expect to get his knuckles rapped by the ever-vigilant Kristi. 🚽 🫢 I hope she doesn't come down too hard on him. 😆 At least now we know the story about the counterfeit stones and the crooked business practices of...

Re: K390 vs S110V - Some Observations
Those are my very unscientific observations on these two steels. What's your experience been with them? Which do you prefer and why? My experience with S110V is limited, so I can't give a fair evaluation. But I probably have more knives with K390 than any other steel. I find the material isn't part...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
Such a strange turn this thread took. Is everyone in some kind of mad panic because of some software hat tricks all of a sudden? I'm afraid you're just a lone man yelling into a hurricane. Good luck.

Re: Weird streaks/scratch in DLC?
Sent off my Shaman to get sharpened and it came back with this weird scuff on it. I've tried a few remedies such as magic eraser, rust eraser( feel like it made it worse) buffing with ballistol with no avail. Only thing I haven't tried is fritz but at this point I'm wondering is this even fixable o...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
I think you have me in the wrong box. Sorry if I put you in a box, Sal. That wasn't my intention. On virtually any issue, I like to examine it from all sides, like a new Delica owner examines his knife the first time he takes it out of the box. Only through close scrutiny can we arrive at the truth...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
I'm not bullish on AI putting creators out of business. But I do think a lot of graphic artists will find demand for them reduces, but is replaced by demand for people skilled in using AI-assisted art programs. It's funny that you mentioned graphic artists. I was in the printing business in my late...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
As one who has always been a creator/inventor/designer, It is a major issue for me. It seems that AI has no problem "creating" my round hole, my ball lock, etc. If a computer running an AI program generates a knife using a round hole and a ball lock, how is that different than a guy in Pa...

Re: Knipex tools )))
I recently got this little pocket slip for carrying the smallest Knipex pliers and a Ladybug in my front pocket. It's the perfect solution. The other pic is all my other Knipex pliers. The flat-jaw ones are brilliant.
