I carry a Leatherman Wave (the old one with real screwdrivers instead of those crappy bits), a mini-prybar on my keyring all the time and a couple more of the little bars in my shirt pocket at work. Not to derail the thread, but what's the issue w/the new Wave's replaceable screwdriver bits? Reason...

I literally LOL'ed out your post Jazz. I too have been carrying a JP Toucan (and a couple of others around for 8 months on my keys) and much like you, aside from opening a couple of packages, the main result is a series of nice assorted sore red spots way too close to some of my favorite parts. Perh...

I have been looking at this interesting knife and I think I am going to pick one up. Tell me do the titanium scales get marked up with the other stuff in your pockets? And does the pocket clip bend too much? That was a you tube remark I noticed. It seems the folks here love it but a few think it is...

The Techno hasn't caught my interest because the handle appears to leave your index finger right on the edge of the blade. Have any of you had a problem with this? I was wary of this aspect of the handle prior to purchasing as well, since like many I usually prefer finger choils, but it hasn't been...

Thanks for your thoughts about the Techno. I'm amazed at how many similar threads there are where people get this knife on a whim or out of mild curiosity...have second thoughts...then ultimately come to EDC it over everything else they own. Like most, I liked the look of the Techno initially but th...

DTM stones are way too expensive :( also, the techno I got, I can do the push cut(hair wiggling sharp) but it can not slicing. <-- I know it is weird. If you're attempting to use the Techno to slice through a dense thick medium, then yes...the thick spine will hinder your progress. You'll be better...

I use a Techno for EDC most of the time and cut a variety of things, and don't use the SM but DTM stones with aligner and strop. I sharpen to 30 degrees inclusive and even at that, mine will easily push cut PB paper, news print, and shave hair. In fact, I have always marveled at how well the Techno ...

Glad someone resurrected this thread...I saw a pic of this folder in another recent thread discussing Marcin's Mouse folder and since I've gone absolutely nuts for the Techno, I've been craving another one of his Spyderco colabs in a larger folder, hopefully w/XHP again...and this one really speaks ...

I own zero frame lock knives. If I were going to pick up a decent Titanium framelock for $150 or less what would you recommend? Or are there many available for that price range? My 1st choice would be the Techno (approx. $155 @ eBay)...2nd, Sage 2 (approx. $145 Amazon) *prices as of today. I had th...

I'll blame you. ;) I keep going for the tail end to change things... That habit will need some work. What other magnetic control ring lights do you think are worth a look? Well...my interest in flashlights begins and ends with small single cell AA/14500, CR123/16340/18350 lights and on occasion if ...

A set, indeed! My SC52 arrived yesterday and I'm really impressed. A great leap forward over my various AAA, AA, and CR123 models (much loved but dated) from Fenix, Nitecore, 4Sevens, LiteFlux and Maratac. Not a hint of green in the beam, a hotspot so big as to be nearly floody, and a very intuitiv...

Donut: I have nothing definitive to offer re the ZL broken lens issues other than remembering reading some threads a year or two ago pertaining to the SC51 if memory serves. I've seen nothing like that with the SC52 although I think I saw a couple of instances where an issue with a DOA driver was re...
