Re: RIP - Toby Keith

Yeah I heard first thing this morning. I'm big music fan, including Toby Keith and country music. Last I heard I thought he was doing better but probably just a late rally.

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

I still don't see what the thrill is with the SB. I wasn't interested back when the original one was disco'd and reasonably priced. Definitely not interested in one at $450

I also found these disassembly photos of the nested liners version, where the stop pin is in a different location on the blade:

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.
Sage 4 has the internal stop pin

Yeah. I will likely buy one to try the steel but I find burnt orange particularly awful as well.
I don't necessarily think it's awful but I don't particularly like it and I already have a half dozen other knives with it

Re: gray G-10 CPM-Cruwear... delica?

I thought getting G10 on Seki knives was pretty expensive, and why a few of the models with G10 had been discontinued? That was the issue with the SNK Exclusive Delica. It was a really slow seller for them because it was so expensive. I'm happy I have it but probably wouldn't do the Grey G10 Cruwea...

Re: Can We Get Better Clip Screws?

I have a pile of Spyderco knives and I don't think I've ever had an issue with a clip screw. I might've had one with a funky torx head on a Seki knife but no issue removing it with a Wiha bit. I also don't have any issues with the type of screw. They work fine with the clips provided. If you have an...

Re: Looking for thoughts on Caly 3.5 vs. GB2

- i really don’t care for the Taichung carbon fiber laminate on top of g10. I'm a little the other way on this. I don't care for the Japan CF of my Caly 3.5 because of the smooth gloss finish. It may take me a little while to warm up to that. My Taichung CF/G10 Chaparral, Sliverax, and Watu have a ...

GB2 is one of the most neutral knives Spyderco makes IMO, which leads to a pretty universal appeal for anyone that likes a knife that size. The Caly 3.5 is definitely "more Spyderco" unique, if that makes sense.
Well said! Makes perfect sense to me

This is the typical which one thread on the Spyderco Forum. Half the people choose one model and half choose the other. A few others feel the need to choose something that's not even on the table

Re: Looking for thoughts on Caly 3.5 vs. GB2

The GB2 is especially designed for its linerlock NOT to be easily accessed. You kinda have to turn the knife upwards (edge facing up) and intentionally put your thumb in there to disengage the lock. People not wanting this kind of anti accidental unlocking feature did modify theirs, to open up acce...

Re: Would a D'Allara 4 with CBBL interest anyone?

I've always the the D'Allara was a nice knife but it's so close to the Manix 2 I never picked one up. Adding a CBBL to the D'Allara would make it even closer to the Manix. So no interest here Does not look too close to a Manix to me.. more of a sheepsfooty blade, a lot more edge, no choil, more neu...
