Hello: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8387/p1010537u.jpg Out of the box, the Kershaw Tyrade I have did not cut that well. I reprofiled it using an Edgepro Apex, then it cut better. I broke down alot of cardboard boxes recently and noticed the Tyrade having difficulty smoothly slicing. I just touched...

hi: i just got into spyderco last year, 2009. I ordered a Paramilitary D2 when it was on Spyderco's webstore closeout section. I didn't know what to expect to Spyderco because I only read about the brand online, never handled one. I carried it for awhile but just "retired" it into a emerge...

nice story, good to share the spydie love with your nkp buddies. next step would be to lug ur sharpmaker over and sharpen stuff. :)

Hi: knifeworks has a serrated caly 3 with g-10 handles.

cool vid, now i know what to get when I get a zdp-189 based blade. thanks a bunch.

sweet answers, i will add Q-tips for the hard to reach dirty areas. I'll also add a toothbrush to clean out G10 handles. I'll look into the stropping material. I'm very happy with the results i get with the sharpmaker and ultrafine rods, but maybe to experiment later. I can see the stropping kit get...

Hi: As soon as I outgrew a cardboard box that was filled with knife care stuff, i moved it over into a small toolbox with one tray. Here's what's inside: Top Tray Allen Wrench Set (in Standard sizes) Teeny Turner driver with Phillips, Torx, and flat bits Mini screwdriver with Phillips and flat bits ...

hi:

i'm starting to carry mine. i like it. i just need to get used to a dedicated lefty knife. i normally carrry right-handed knives on my left side. :D

hey:

nice stuff, i feel compelled to slice sheets of paper and sharpen stuff with my sharpmaker.

i should have a serrated blade for seatbelt cutting, my ladybug salt seems inadquate now. :D

Another contra dancer? Yay! I've never had that happen, but we don't do wrist bands. What's a contra dance? ... my story: i just got a spydie ladybug h1 serrated. i'm used to the opening/closing the paramilitary d2, so when i closed the ladybug, part of my finger was still in the way of the blade. ...

i held one at a store. very lightweight and solid lockup. seemed pretty thick. i had trouble opening it though, maybe with practice it would get easier (or the spydie holes got me spoiled). nice looking piece, maybe i'll get one if the price drops.

wow cool, looks like a production model. and thanks for the detailed walkthrough. hmm, i will practice wharn'ng a beater kitchen knife. :)

hi: I use a ladybug h1 serrated to open up boxes, score oranges to make peeling them easier, and open up plastic blister packs. For cutting steaks, I use a Benchmade 551H2O Orange Griptilian Plain Edge. Way sharper than the steak knives at restaurants. I'm thinking of getting a pacific salt for meat...

hi:

now you gotta find a belt sheath for 5 knives. :p
or maybe a sheath for 8 knives, at least the minimum number of crayons crayola sells in a box.

i mainly carry plain edges and have one ladybug h1 serrated. but now, i'm thinking i should get a larger serrated h1. the ladybug h1 mainly opens boxes, blister packs.

i think i've been buying more spyderco's since frequenting this forum. :D

hey: good thread on preparedness threads. i was thinking of getting a bicycle and a trailer for it to haul stuff around in case there is a gas shortage. pretty flat around here. i did buy some peanut butter for long term food storage. i definitely need more food. i'm planning for at least a two week...

hi wouter: wow, really comprehensive look at the upcoming spydie models. thank you thank you thank you for all the pics, writes, videos, and other post-production heavy things. i think after buying the para 2 and other cool models, i will run out of pant pocket space. that means i might have to wear...

+1 paramilitary fan hi: the paramilitary d2 was my intrdoduction to the Spyderco brand. it's sharpness out of the still surprises me to this day. i was fortunate to get the para d2 when it was on closeout from the Spydie online store. the only maintenance i've had to do with the para d2 was remove s...

Hi Oregon:

Man, that bald eagle has a serious game face on. I wish my surroundings was a nice as yours.

Hi Water Bug: Thanks for the link, I tried out the stroping on cardboard as shown in the pictures after doing the 10:1 (passes in front :p asses in back) with the brown then white stones. The Emerson is incrementally better than what it was earlier. I should definitely spend more time practicing and...
