Spyderco Forums

I passed mine on the third attempt in Britain 20 years ago, now I live in America and I'm taking the test all over again this year, on the wrong side of the road, in the wrong side of the car, in Philadelphia. How many times will this one take I wonder :rolleyes:

+1 on the Para.

My two favourites, the Fenix PD30 and the Romisen RC-C6. For the money the Romisen is awesome, but the Fenix goes with me everywhere.

Dude, what did you use to remove the paint? I tried dunking a clip in liquid paint remover and nothing! Even after an hour the paint wouldn't budge :eek:

Fantastic work! Very impressive :D

Good luck! Once you get into modding there's no turning back! :D

Love em! I think one of the best everyday carry options is a Spydie and a SAK, with those two you've pretty much got most things covered :D

Well I've carried mine for nearly two weeks now and I love it! The quality of construction still amazes me, I'm not sure if it'll ever replace my all time favourite knife the Paramilitary, but it's a close call :)

Fantastic work! Some day I will get back to carrying my PM... Thanks, this is the second camo Para I've done this to, I just love camo G10. For some reason the paint on this ones clip was the most stubborn I've ever come across, I dunked it in paint stripper first, didn't do a thing. That's some to...

A pretty simple mod to my latest Para, polished clip (pain in the arse to get the paint off!) and sanded down the rear bump. http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab54/Badgerbush666/010-5.jpg http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab54/Badgerbush666/003-8.jpg http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab54/Badgerb...

Could be the Swamp Things poop...

Nice collection! I'm still not sold on pink though :D

Happy birthday Mr Glesser, thanks for all the great designs :)

It's a fantastic knife isn't it. Mine hasn't left my pocket since I got it :)

angusW wrote:Bushbadger, where did you get your G10 for your Manix? I picked some up from a store here in Canada but wasn't too happy with the samples as they were too smooth.

I got the G10 off ebay, can't remember the actual seller sorry, it's very good just like Spydercos really :)

I'm in two minds whether to put the lanyard back on, after a day of carrying it without it's quite difficult to pull it out smoothly with that deep carry clip. I've carried a Paramilitary in my pocket for the last year so I'm used to having something to grab onto. Even though I'm not a fan of lanyar...

Of the few PPT's for sale on ebay one is currently bid up to $334! Granted it has 002 on the blade but still. I'm not a knife collector so maybe I don't get it. You can "buy it now" for less than $140, it's the same knife just not numbered. Are the numbered ones really worth that much?

Yes, the lock side liner is thicker than the non-locking side.

Great pics! Would it be possible to get a shot of it closed, compared to a delica, or the manix 2? I don't own either of those knives but here's one of it next to a Blade Tech Ganyana Lite, it has a 99mm closed length. I've looked at the Delica's closed length on the Spyderco catalog and it's the s...

I believe the backspacer is steel, the liners are skeletonized.
