Spyderco Forums

I don't know if it is durable enough for a knife handle that would get used. It isn't like lacquer or polyurethane. Still, it would look really good. I know! But it's so "old school" that it's hard to resist. Most of my wood projects are finished in natural finishes: linseed oil, tung oil...

A great shave.

Thanks. That video has been in my YouTube suggestions, but I didn't watch it until just now. I like the Business Insider videos. Shellac intrigues me, but I've not used it on anything since I was a little kid. How do you think it would work out on wood scales for my next Mule? I don't know if it is...

Here is a good video that shows how shelac is made and how it gets its name.

Wonderful Delica in my favorite color G10 that Spyderco has done. There is a matching Dragonfly still in production.

The Chaparral is the best small pocket knife Spyderco makes. The handle is a little thin compared to the height, but that can be fixed by a new set of scales if it bugs anyone. Sweet knife. I would like to see a steel change to SPY27.

If they moved that finger spike to the end of the scales and had the cutting edge come nearly to the scales I could be happy with a back lock version. It could be my one knife...but the Manix 2 back lock with linerless G10 is already in that spot.

One advantage this idea would have is a cutting edge as long as the Chaparral. The Chaparral is really hard to beat, I know. I have two and wonderful knives they are. The LN would benefit and still keep the blade legal in most places, though. Doc, just to be sure: Your idea would mean indeed, that,...

Why does the chicken coop have two doors?

You are the Monday of my life.

Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.

Light travels faster than sound. That's why you seem bright until you speak.

If I had a dollar for every smart thing you say I'd be on Welfare.

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed.

A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. “Listen,” said the CEO. “This is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work for ...

I have two or three. They are my go to package opening knives. The point doesn't allow the blade to go too deep into the package. It is overly thick for such a small knife, but I like the shape and the pinch opening. It cuts okay, but not as good as a Ladybug or a Manbug or a Jester.

So, how would the edge angle affect the results? Say, 30º inclusive vs 20º inclusive? What was the angle of the edge being tested and how thin behind the edge was the blade?

I get what you're saying Doc Dan, and I agree with you. I'm not a fan of the grips on the Native or the Lil' Native. They just never felt great in my hands. You are right. They are just not right, somehow. I'd rather have a more neutral and choiless handle on both, with more edge. When I want a 3&q...

A student applied for university and had to do an interview. The interviewer thought the boy was very smart and since he could answer all the questions correctly, he decided to corner the boy with an impossible question. “For this next section, I can either ask you ten easy questions or one really d...

Three drunken men climbed into a taxi after a heavy night of drinking. Immediately realising that the men were inebriated, the driver quickly thought up a plan to get rid of them. He started the engine, turned it off again and said: “We have reached your destination.” “Alright pal, here you go,” sai...

Little knives are popular. It is what it is. I happen to like them, though I've come to appreciate and carry the XL knives a lot. I'd be interested in this. Yeah, we need a knife capable of eating an apple with slice by slice and small enough to drop in our pockets, despite what larger knife we mig...
