I have stuck with Timberlands for a long time now, they have always been good IMO, just don't get the basic cheap ones.... ;) I actually have a new pair coming, they are lighter weight than my Pros I have and don't really need the steel toes anymore. I miss the old Herman Survivors before they mess...

Better be full tang for that type of work!!!!! Just kidding. Surprised astronauts are carrying daggers. Full tang, and full of Tang, eh? https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/assets/4333281/MtM.p46.TangAd2.RGB.jpg https://everydayastronaut.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Everyday-Astronaut-3566-Edit-Edit-web.jpg

The Squeak is a fantastic design and incredibly useful. It’s so people friendly it’s almost laughable, and not at all a problem in public (in the UK). I’m delighted to have got one of the Elmax/Ti versions as well. Agreed. The pink Squeak is particularly inoffensive in ubiquitous restricted jurisdi...

Great grouping, and fine photo, Reject. As always Nick, It is always a great pleasure when you show hidden treasures! If you were in my neighborhood I would hang about your fence hoping to catch a glimpse in your collection. :p It would be a pleasure to let you rummage around ad lib for your own enj...

Wonder what kind of knife it was. Probably some generic Russian government issued. Very interesting story! Images were introduced knife in sheath: https://imgur.com/158YndB.jpg Sheath, lanyard, knife: https://imgur.com/grtLakh.jpg Frames are not synched. TOP: knife pommel . Bottom: note the sheath ...

I rarely post anywhere, but nostalgic connections prompt this foray to fill in with a niche Moran. Here are pics of a "military' Moran, one of a special run for the USAF back in 2010, ca. 225 pcs. Instead of the G-Clip sheath, these have a sheath designed to attach to the USAF/ANG Survival vest...

Most of my other folding knife have "oil the joints" printed on the handle or the blades. I've never seen a knife nor blade with such markings. Which of your knives are so marked? Thanks for a pic if you can post such. Sheepish am I. I have at least one knife with those markings, just see...

Nicely done, Don. Perfect example of achieving fine results with "basic tools at hand." Smartest purchase on your part was the proper mask, where most folks have been prone to scrimp. Protect dem lungs. (For grim lung protection fallacy google McIntyre Miners' Powder) You did great with th...

Hey, Luddite: Yes, it does. Here's some great information from an older issue of our newsletter, The Spyderco byte . Just scroll down to the second section. Kristi The lubricating oil most frequently used by Luddites? Spindle oil...(with their textile work). The oil used in greatest quantity by Lud...

"My eyes! Ze goggles, zey do nothing!"

The CHOKWE always reminded me a great deal of one of my all time favorite Spyders ever. I'm speaking of the JD SMITH model. The overall blade geometry of CHOKWE seems so similar to the JD SMITH model you think they were cousins. I would love a CHOKWE model in one of the Supersteels. Yes indeed, tho...

.... so the US doesn't end up with laws like Canada, the UK, Denmark or Australia, where knife laws are not realistic. That's what you get when you have the nuns running the whore house. sal Ha! Too bloody true! Actually here it’s more like the whores running the nunnery.... We can turn to The Bard...

Hi Nicked.onaut, Actually I designed the Compression lock with the release on the side that we use now. Bram insisted that we make his version with the lock release reversed, which I made as he requested. But all of the other Compression locks were made as I designed the lock to be. sal I find it s...

One other feature of the Gunting's compression lock is unique among Spydercos; which is...? Would it be that the Gunting had the lock cutout on the right-handed/presentation/obverse/show side of the knife (which would place the lock itself on the left-handed/reverse side)? https://i.imgflip.com/1am...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the *first* Spyderco with compression lock, the Gunting. Although its model number, C68, is later than the Vesuvius, C66--another quirk. One other feature of the Gunting's compression lock is unique among Spydercos; which is...? (a later Spyderco design might *almo...

Coyote tan Urban in AEB-L, nice! Thank you Sal & crew!

Yes indeed.

Also, the tan frn can easily be dyed to earth brown, but not vice versa, if the ELU prefers

USPS box-crusher caused delay but not destruction. Mine finally arrived, and the knife had survived unscathed. Apparently the box was trapped in some machinery recess? RS has a nice blade pic, so here's the handle. The G10 is a light desert tan, though some screen settings may make it appear grey. T...

I dont have a Tenacious to compare them,and from the pics i think they are the same,but just to make sure,can someone confirm?Thanks. Here's a side-by-side shot, which is of course a "comparison pic." They appear to be the same hole pattern, aside from the curve between screws, but I don'...

That is not a Standard, despite the (likely) seller's description and the box. That is a hybrid of a ProGrip, with an AUS8 PS "Black Ti" blade of the Delica C11.. AF. Likely made in 1995 (or from such parts, thereafter). I won't go into all the details, and will defer some comments on the ...

Unknown to me. And this makes me a little jealous considering I have every other variant. A great piece indeed. If it was unknown to you, that says a lot. (you are xtremely knowing of all things Spydie. xceptional, even. ) Well, I scruffled it up when I rummaged around the Caly cache when the Super...
