Hi Rocky,

Welcome to our forum.

Very glad to say it's absolutely definitely positively not one of ours.

Corrected your statement Sal...

That will teach me to spend more time here in SF...

I am honoured that you chose a Sustain to be a gift to your nephew!

You are a wise man to include a lot of info about metallurgy, safety and piece of mind, especially when dealing with the laws of the land.

Does he also live in Illinois?

The Probe was always one I regret the most about passing on a new one in Barry's Blades in Durban South Africa... It cost twice what an FRN Endura cost at the time... I might source a second hand Salt blade of some sort and make one for me... :) I have Ti plate, so the rust problem should be negliab...

Apart from when I have had to enter restricted places, I have always had a knife of some sort on or near me in a backpack etc. Obviously airplanes have had me place an edge or two in hold luggage. If I am entering a restricted place, I normally leave the edge in my vehicle and so I never have to &qu...

I like it!
Especially with the TEETH!

Call it FSK...
Folding Steak Knife...

Seriously, back locks are the hardest to make accurately, so I am guessing a premium model in the making?

Anyway, whatever the actual knife.. Sal changed the knifemaking world for the better! :winking-tongue :smiling-heart-eyes :smiling-hearts :cheap-sunglasses :star-struck ;) :nerd :hugging-face :tonque-out :grin-big eyes :sunrise :triangle-ruler :shooting-star :heart :sparkler :martial-arts

Basic Tools did make a model or two called the Silver Falcon, and also for Camillus. I know someone who worked for them, hence my info. Back in RSA, I saw a BST trademark and Silver Falcon on the same folder blade, and the scale had a small brassy type medallion of some sort. But I stand to be corre...

Here in NZ a few years ago, you could ask the assorted airports if you could but any confiscated "tools". I was GIVEN a shoe box with scissors of all sizes, knitting needles, hairbrushes, combs, Bandaids ( ?) 6 inch plastic rulers, and one knife: a Gas Station Special... the plastic rulers...

I think it was a modded Buck 110 style knife. https://www.spyderco.com/wp-content/uploads/Spyderco-Original_Both-1024x586.jpg Imagine that image on a Tee Shirt? Maybe a better Slogan? " A Vision without a Plan, in merely a Wish" "A Vision persisted with, becomes a Reality! " :ch...

Imagine that image on a Tee Shirt?

"A Dream persisted with, becomes a Reality! "

The folder was a Basic Tools made in Japan...440C blade. I had just two like this one, one mint, and the other looked it had survived a war or two, but both were stolen in transit to NZ. The company closed down after a few years, but in South Africa assorted model turn up in stores in the middle of ...

Perhaps a folding hobo knife in which the spoon has a sharpened edge?

Not a bad idea at all...

Imagine the Forum six months from now? My Spyoon will not hold an edge. What am I doing wrong? When will the PDZZ-2028 model be out? Which angle is the best for eating coconut? Is anyone else's Spyoon corroding? I only use mine for eating Himalaya Salt Blocks. When will Spyderco offer Micarta scales...

Just wash the Kraton is soapy warm water, NOT hot, and rinse off and let dry for a day or so.

Then use VHB or even Kikisui tape ( available from sail and yacht suppliers )

The Mule Series should help with steel types and choices, as time goes by?

Christian Straw Bale... :}

Ferric chloride is the safest.

I use Aqua Regia on my custom Serratas to show the dendritic structure.
2/3 Hydrochloric acid and 1/3 Nitric acid...bad stuff to use for health and safety.
