Re: Teal S30V Dragonfly Exclusive

Got one - sweet! This is just about my ideal dragonfly - reasonable cost for a nice color and well-rounded steel. Looks like BladeHQ still has them as "coming soon" in case anyone misses them at KnivesShipFree or GPKnives.

Re: Post up your Rit dye projects..

My first RIT attempts: the Byrd with "evening blue", the salt Dragonfly with "violet" which turned an awesome garnet red. Wish I'd left more yellow at the top of that fade, but oh well. And to answer a previous question, I didn't bother removing the scales on the salt. But make s...

Re: Teal S30V Dragonfly Exclusive

I personally love the color. I just get bored with black scales and satin blades, so I love when any unique colors come out. Admittedly, I am a girl, but my former-Marine husband wears teal shirts, so I don't see it as an especially girly color. Anyhoo...to each his own! But to reiterate an earlier ...

Wow, I'm a dope...think I must have been confusing it with listings for the Manix 2 lightweight. Thx!

Re: I've got a Dragonfly problem

The DF2 wasn't my first spyderco, but it was absolutely the model that made me fall in love with the brand and to start a little collection. So many women's jeans and running shorts have dinky little pockets, and the DF2s fit perfectly and are still so functional. The salt PE was my first, then adde...

Para 3 LW: initially in BD1N?

I've been looking at the Para 3 LW...holding out for some color options...but anyhow, looks like online retailers are listing it with a BD1 blade steel, but some have pics up of the knife with a BD1N steel, and I've seen youtube reviews with the BD1N steel. Was there an early release with BD1N and t...

Re: Sal, would a Native 5 LW in Cruwear

Apparently I've been on a wishlist bandwagon that I didn't even know existed...I've been pining so hard for a native 5 LW in CruWear! A para 3 LW in Cruwear would be a definite purchase for me as well.

Etching on Delica zdp-189

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I recently purchased a delica 4 in zdp-189 from Amazon, and the "Seki City" lettering on the blade appeared hand-etched (or poorly stamped). The lettering was uneven and slightly misaligned, some letters appeared a tad crooked. None of my other Delicas has thi...
