This stuff makes me so thankful to live in a state that doesn't have these silly laws. It's not a state law. (a) Except as provided in subsection (d), whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be present a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility (other than a Federal court facility),...

My newish Victorinox Cadet measures 2-7/16" using the AKTI method (tip to handle).

What would really be awesome is a Golden made Grasshopper with a really nice steel, bolsters, and nice inlays. That knife has "gents folder size" nailed. It doesn't look like a stubby version of a standard sized knife, it just looks like a miniature Endura or something. Yes, the blade sha...

So Super Manbug fans - you don't like choils? For me the choil and the ability to grip is what makes the small blades so versatile.

The blade measurement is definitely not just the cutting edge. There's been some effort to try to get LEOs to use the AKTI Recommended guideline for measuring blade length - see http://www.akti.org/resources/akti-protocol-for-measuring-knife-blade-length/ . Always safe to assume they might use the l...

Welcome to the forum naddysaad, and couldnt agree more on the air, what a sweet little blade it is, too bad they disco'd it

It's not compliant with the only firm requirement in the OP - a 2.5" blade so it can be carried in a Federal building.

While you're waiting, you might consider the byrd Robin 2 in stainless, all black, G10 or titanium. It's a very useful knife with a 2.38" blade. https://www.spyderco.com/pix/products/large/BY10SS2_L.jpg https://www.spyderco.com/pix/products/large/BY10BKP2_L.jpg https://www.spyderco.com/pix/prod...

Wow, I'm not a fan of all-black or stainless steel handles, but that's one sweet looking knife at a great price. IMO the Robin 2 is great knife for everyday tasks, the design gives it a lot of utility for an under 2.5" knife.

Para Para

Nevermind.

Fascinating, and thanks.

But since sharpening isn't a part of the hobby that's high on my list of things I enjoy (though I can see how it could be for some) - my conclusion is not to buy any more ZDP-189 blades, or other super-duper steels for that matter.

Hi Nick, Timely question. Perhaps some history? Regarding the comment about BD-1 being similar to Gingami 1 - I found this history from 2004 interesting - //forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=20532#p20532 . From a long time ago, so partly ancient history but FYI. <snip> In terms of steel. Gingami 1...

IMO a good roundup of feedback, EDC Honeybee. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the update.

Another vote for a resurrected Caly 3 with a change of steel.

Super pictures Speedholes, thanks.

I'd consider one in another steel, not really interested in the laminate.

Any news on any of the prototypes, the little PM2 or a new Sage?

Thanks for the pix, araneae
