Spyderco Forums

I consider myself to be a user not a collector, so Damascus and ivory (or other fancy materials) doesn't really turn me on. However there is one knife I'd like to have, keep, never use and carry only a couple times a year: the Spyderco WTC D'Allara. I guess I'll never have one, but that's the point ...

A Belated Happy Birthday Daniel. To many more. Have an extra glass of wine on our behalf

I used to be a forester myself when I was in my twenties... It was a tough job in a harsh environment, but it had its bright sides :)

For unkown reason I can't access the link, but based on the brief descriptions (modified wharncliffe "Insingo" style thin blade, thin frame lock) can I assume it's the A.G. Russell Skorpion?

A belated Happy Birthday my friend. To many more. Enjoy your new fine present, it's a great knife (and you are a very lucky husband). :)

Isn't Spyderco the best? Congratulations on your new toys, I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Very good observation Paul.

I think it's something like Oou-Lee-Tse.

oops... my mistake, sorry :o

I think you are a bit too soon at the party, since the USN gathering didn't start yet

Although I'm not particularily very fond of those, I do however own one, the plastic (Grivory) version made by Cold Steel. Sort of a backup disposable knife.

Congratulations Paul and thank you for your presence here. This is an impressive mileage, to many more.

A belated Happy Birthday my friend. Glad to hear you're ok.

The internal stop pin would require a radical redesign of the inner workings of a regular lockback. Besides, although an interesting feature, it raises more problems than it solves, IMHO. Knowing that Spyderco doesn't complicate a design more than necessary, I doubt that we'll see an internal stop p...

...As from your perspective doing what you do , the mix of a modern blade and shape with the hole but old scale material would be a cool look though ?... It is a delicate balance but I am sure that a talented maker (like, for instance, the Russian knifemaker Dmitri Sinkevich ) can come with somethi...

Welcome aboard and don't worry. The difference between adults and children is the price of their toys

Thanks for the infos. Very interesting and instructive.

Do you want a fixed blade or a folder?

Congratulations on your anniversary. To many more and all the best to you both. Allthough you are saying she wouldn't like another knife, I suspect she would appreciate an SS Ladybug Tatoo for her keyring. Hey, it worked for my wife!

Fankly, I'm glad that Spyderco doesn't explicitely give the Rc hardness.One can make an educated guess and of course, the one who is really interested in this matter can ask on the Forum(s) and get a good answer. But I'm glad that the Rc doesn't feature on the label. Most people tend to believe that...
