Spyderco Forums

Besides my Spyderco, I never leave home without: * One forty-five caliber automatic * Two boxes of ammunition * Four days' concentrated emergency rations * One drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills * One miniature combination Russia...

Yes, I understand Romania's getting hit pretty hard, so best of luck to you and your family, dialex. Hope everything's ok.


PS: Nope, Zabrewolf, not from Minnesota.

I have a lightweight Endura with ATS-55 steel. Sometimes I wipe the blade on my jeans. Once, when it was REALLY dirty (I was cutting up pineapple at the beach), I ran some hot water over it before wiping the blade on my jeans. That's how I clean it.

Please keep them in your thoughts right now. That country is getting pounded with the worst flooding in a century. Austria and parts of Germany too. My wife is from the Czech Republic and is darn worried about her family in Prague and in Southwestern Bohemia.

Dobry den, crowfoot. Mas pravdu. I really prefer the lightweight handles over the stainless because of that reason, plus the slipperiness when wet, and of course the weight. Ten lightweight Endura je skvely nus!

I went out and got myself some thick black frames, with the glass so dark thay won't even know my name. The choice was up to me, 'cause they come in two classes, Rhinestone shades and cheap sunglasses.

>"I ran a concession stand at the Uni football games last season and after 9-11 we were forbidden anything sharp. One guy who worked under me was forbidden a spark-plug gapper from his keyring since the edge was sharp!" ========================= Man, I think we have a winner for the dumbes...

****, I guess it doesn't fit your requirement of a combo edge, but for that money, I'd look at getting a <a href="http://www.spyderco.com/dealer_product_info.asp?sts=7%2F26%2F2002+12%3A37%3A50+PM&pfid=C53&deptId=1020&mscssid=HS4VB22S8WN08NT0EUMHR1HXRLPG34BB">Peter Herbst Autumn...

I'm not a subscriber but I enjoy reading Field & Stream, Backpacker, Outside and Playboy from time to time.

To me, a gentleman's knife must A) have the ability to be carried in dress slacks and not be seen (no "unsightly" bulges in pockets - I reckon sightly bulges are ok, though). And B) it should serve to cover traditional "gentlemanly" tasks such as trimming the end off a cigar, etc...

What about the Meercat, where's it made?

Another vote for VG-10. I have an ATS-55 frn model and love it. But the VG-10 models have the Boye dent in the lock lever which - while I kind of doubt adds that much for safety - is a cool addition nonetheless. Man, you can't beat the Endura in price-to-toughness ratio! Well, the Delica comes close...

Have you seen <a href="http://204.228.236.37/Search/Story.asp?ID=3354">this</a> story? According to the <i>other</i> forum, the knife was a Spyderco Police. Here's the full text in case the link goes dead: <b>Warrant issued in attack outside Boise Art Museum Transient accused in scuffle wi...

Aww, someone else finish this, I'm too lazy!

My dad carries a Victorinox Classic at all times and uses it often. Unfortunately, he really sees anything else as needless overkill and has no interest in larger knives.

>"Sure. Collared plenty of people for it."

=========================

Nice going! I HATE that crap.

I definitely dig the Herbst! Wish it weren't so expensive.

I have a vague recollection as a kid of reading an article in (I think) Blade where Bob Loveless (or one of the other popular bladesmiths of the day) said that, if he were working around docks all day, cutting rope and such, he'd carry a serrated Worker knife from a newer company called Spyderco. I ...

During my time spent in Florida, I never gave carry laws a second thought. Lots of years with belt-pouch folders and, later, multis and unconcealed Spydie clips. Never any problem. Once, when I had to go to the courthouse, I had to turn in my tiny Buck 526 at the guard station. When I was retrieving...
