Here is a suggestion of a flag: 'Help Japan' poster of flag with cracked 'rising sun' is symbol of tsunami disaster's horror is the headline for a story in the NY Daily News. http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2011/03/14/2011-03-14_help_japan_poster_of_flag_with_cracked_rising_sun_for_tsumani_dis...

Oh btw, if anyone was wondering why I named it, was the quickest thing that popped up was a play on words. --> Its quite interesting that as I searched Google, I found that Japanese animation, made a anime/cartoon regarding what would happen if japan, Tokyo, was hit with a 8.0 magnitude earthquake. ...

Good point, a knife made in Golden and initially sold direct off the Spyderco site would help speed up the process. Then they could expand sales through the usual dealer channels. This is going to be a long term relief effort and unfortunately, the public donations tends to dry up after it is no lo...

God I regret not being able to get the s90v cf manix so bad X.X one of my bigger knife related regrets lol. And delicafreak at this moment your best bet is to look at secondary market options. I had a chance to get one but my friend really wanted it so I told him to go for it, and he ended up not bu...

I think the rescue knife is a cool idea, - now I know this is a bit late, and these things take a lot of time and money, but what about a sprint run with some of the proceeds going to relief funds? The reason I say this instead of just purchasing the rescue knife, is that if we had a special color, ...

Thats an impressive collection indeed. A lot of rare ones in there!! the one I wish I had the most, well one of them LOL, is the Ti ATR, I always resented not being there to buy that and the s90v manix

I wonder if they will do a sprint run of a titanium balance? wouldnt that be just sick?

yes, and that is what they told me [customer service]

And you can always loosen or tighten the pivot to change the position of the blade as well as the loose-ness of the blade [decreasing/increasing friction between the blade/washer and the liner to a certain point - although given the pivot used on a manix 2, its not AS a problem]

I'm really looking forward to this knife exactly as the prototype looked at shot. Much like the lionsteel sr1, just make the glass breaker a personal removable choice and please give use the tools for it. Instead of a wooden box. I would like to see it come in something original like any type (pref...

Sounds like a possible composite :p that would be cool

There was a lot of negative stuff said, and a lot of positive/constructive stuff said about his reaction to the original text. And even his explanation as to why he jumped the gun [metaphor: alcohol is not an excuse], and others saying their piece, re: physics etc, and a lot more that has already be...

Well having a powdered steel will opt to give it a more refined, and equally distributed grain infrastructure. A powdered steel produces this homogenous dimension, that leads to a high quality steel with the characteristics soon to be mentioned; and with that homogenous/more equally distributed part...

There already are somewhat more exotic options out there. titanium made blades with carbide/tungsten at RC's in the 70s. Blades with carbon fiber laminates, the use of nitinol [acts like H1 in that its rust "proof"] etc etc. I assume that is what the future holds for us for the immediate a...

Depends on your approach. Some folks enjoy the hunt, others live for the kill. The first actually experience a let down when they fill all the slots in the "album" and there's nothing left to acquire. The second group sometimes pay absurd prices for things they need to move them closer to...

A slight trick when using one hand, put the tip of your thumb+nail at the top portion of the lock/left side [so if its dimensioned like this XX=blade--handle--Dome like ^, then place your thumb on this side of the lock Blade-Handle- lock---->^ . I find that its super easy to disengage with one handl...

Thanks for the advice guys. I've been thinking of focusing my knife collecting on delicas, and was just wanted to see what I was getting myself into. To me the delica just seems like the quinessential Spyderco. I just picked up the blue ZDP version Saturday. :D That is a hard journey to start, I qu...

The one in march that the vendor may be referring to may be the grey para 2 with carpenter steel sprint run.

This is full blown production correct? so It will still be here at the end of this year? [I have a lot other bills and such to take care of, and if I can put off buying this one, while I save for a sprint, it would be really helpful]
