Re: I only have a few knives, but I'm happy. Am I crazy?

I have two Delica 4s, one Dragonfly 2, one PM2 (temporarily), an original Buck Ranger since about 1975 and that's it. I always carry a Delica, and sometimes also the Dragonfly. I'm saying 'adios' to the PM2 and if I should "need" a larger folder, I'll get a Tenacious. The old Buck Ranger ...

Re: Lemmerick contest

Bye Bye

One day said my dear little wife,
now it's either me or that knife! :spyder:
I drove her plumb silly
thumb-flickin' my Millie.
And now she is gone from my life...... :eek:

Re: What do I do now?

Well at least you tried and that's important.
Perhaps more important is the fact that you got it resolved yourself and probably learned a bit in the process. I say, "Good for you."
All's well that ends well. ;)

Re: Lemmerick contest

Enough Already!!

A man liked to torment his wife,
by thumb-flicking his Spyderco knife. :spyder:
She finally got sick,
of the repeated "click".
And violently ended his life.

Re: Upcoming 2016 Pre Orders at KC

I just noticed the Salt Snap-it's. Pretty cool if those are really coming :) Super cool and I will obviously need more than one! :rolleyes: I am definitely curious about how they will be positioning the carabiner though. I LOVE the idea but the old design with the carabiner next to the exposed blad...

Yes. The choice is far too complex. I can see I am going to have to have both.
I appreciate this Topic, at least now I have some time to save up for them. :D

If you think about it, Sal has built a very successful company based on integrity and honesty and with the consumer in mind. I find it very doubtful that the change t...

Re: What do I do now?

While I can't speak for the Domino, never having examined one, my Titanium frame lock Military has a unique stainless steel insert firmly held in place by two screws attaching it to the locking bar and also milled into the titanium lock bar itself. I find it a nice improvement over the CRK Sebenza. ...

Re: What do I do now?

I can sure understand the disappointment. Don't blame you for being bummed about it as it would be frustrating to me.
All the more reason to contact Charlynn at SCS and let her work her magic. ;)

Re: What do I do now?

I would recommend contacting Spyderco Customer Service again and explain your feelings about the problem and that it still exists. By all means give them a chance to make things right with you. They are good folks and truly want to correct any problems you have with the knife. It is always best to a...

My Chaparral lives in my pocket all week, clipless. GB on the weekends, Manix2 S110v LW on the trail. The Sharpmaker and a little patience can handle all of those "super" steels no problem. In many pictures the Sage 1 looks to be a very similar size, but its TWICE the knife in hand. I fin...

The C36 Military with a full flat ground plain edge Sheepfoot blade in Cru-Wear.
Just for a different but very useable blade option in an already great knife model. :)
