Broken tip or blunted?

Looks like you could work that out with a very slight modification and re-sharpening, perhaps?

Thanks, everyone for keeping this thread alive and inspiring all of us with new music. I've really enjoyed the posts and got turned on to some great music and musicians. I've yet to figure out the bug that inhibits me from embedding You Tube vids, but lately I've been on a bender of John Mayer Trio ...

I'm still waiting for this to show up in my mailbox, so you should really stop showing it off. :rolleyes: :D

I was visiting some dealer sites this evening and Blade HQ has both the Firefly and the Tatanka on their Spyderco page. Obviously not in stock yet but perhaps a hint that these two models are scheduled for release in the very near future?

Our dog picked up ticks frequently and our son loves to be in the woods, so I can tell you that in our experience nothing beats a good pair of tweezers. I'm not a fan of holding open flame to skin and the petroleum jelly method (covering the tick and waiting for it to die) doesn't work either as it ...

I'm fairly certain I know where you visited and if so, said "sporting goods type place" is planning to open a location just a few miles from my home town. Though I'm familiar with their pricing elsewhere, I'm still stoked that (like you) I'll have the opportunity to handle models that I ot...

I love my Sage 1. But I haven't seen enough posts applauding the OPEN BACK construction! Maybe it's just me, but I love the ease of keeping an open back clean, no matter what. I'm looking through it right now and all I can see is sweet. Pull that plug! I agree with you on this and also feel that it...

Typically, I'm not keen on orange handle scales or bolsters but the combination here is very nice. A Liner Lock, VG10 Steel, blade shape and the diminutive dimensions of the knife all add up to a definite buy and try for me. I was happy to see that the clip is configurable in tip up position and whi...

Congrats on your purchase; the Sage 1 is a wonderful knife.

The first click that you hear is the detent ball giving way before the lock engages. If you watch the liner lock as you deploy the blade slowly, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm a drummer and I enjoy the history behind the Cymbals that I play.

Alchemist, Avedis I, began making Zildjian Cymbals in a small Constantinople foundry in 1623.

I really enjoy my CF, XHP Chaparral. It's such a great knife. The action on my example was a bit stiff (which I expected) though it wasn't gritty. I still decided to clean it thoroughly before carrying and lubed the pivot area with Tuf Glide which gave it a much smoother feel. After about a month of...

Whenever someone posts about a Spydie being listed or sold at such a high premium, the first thing that pops into my head is "I wonder what Sal or Eric would think of that?"
