Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

I picked up a DMT XC 8" Diamond plate that was on-sale for $50.15, so the discount has it coming my way for 42.63. Not too bad.

Re: Best way to clean Pakkawood Scales?

I have no experience with this product but UV light and ozone does kill germs. Maybe this would work for your phone, knife, toothbrush and other things you want to sanitize. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077QSFSNW/re ... B075W86X63

Picked up the Black Tasman Salt SE for $40 and change with free shipping. Cheaper than a H1 Ladybug Hawkbill. :)

Used Spydercos ?
Apart ebay and bladeforums, anywhere else that's good to look for used Spydercos ? (That's if you want to divulge it!!!).

Looking especially for serrated.

Thanks in advance.
Sometimes, I pull out all the stops and check Craigslist. loll

Re: Crappy service & product

Interesting thought. Most all of us purchase knives with credit cards and some cards offer "Purchase protection". In essence if your purchase is lost or stolen within a certain amount of time (usually 90 days) CC company will refund your purchase amount.

Re: What's the intended retention strength of Aqua Salt sheaths?

Instead of using brute force and pulling it out, I use my thumb and push on the spine side rivit and it pops out. See 1:00 on video. Hope this helps.

Re: Trusted Ebay sellers

I have have dealt with belote and supremesolutions without problem, along with the others mentioned. I'd say if they have a couple hundred thousand feedbacks with 99% positives they're pretty safe.
