Count me as one who would not like the folder idea. The only thing I would change about the program would be more models per year.

I am not as brand loyal as many here. To me each knife stands own it's own merits. Brand only improves it's chances of being considered. I own several Spydercos and Benchmades and some others. I own a D2 Griptilian and think the Grip is one of the best knives on the market for quality/value/etc. Hav...

First off, I'm not getting one. However, I think you all are over reacting. A cool new option came along and they tried it. It may work out in sales or may not. But why are you piling on with the negativity when they are trying something new? Isn't that what you all generally brag about with Spyderc...

Buy any/all of the sprint models. The worst of them still gain something in value over time. One just came out, the Goddard, I'm sure there are still plenty in stock at low prices.

I agree with the Slip 2000. There are different thicknesses but the same thing otherwise. Just go to e-bay or etc and buy some and use it on everything that needs lube or rust protection.

I never said or implied there was an event or whatever you are asking me to tell you about. I am a fan of D2, S30V and Not VG10. No matter how much you like VG10 you are not going to prove to me that I made a mistake by preferring something else. But as with the last time I am sorry I posted anythin...

Haha, I just wanted to know what your experience was and my panties are now in a wad? Are you this defensive all the time? I guess I was spot on then.

I would say that people replied to your post about your negative experience with their own positive experiences. The positive experiences that other folks have about VG-10 may just have been a lot more than yours. Hence the "dogpile". What do you use your knives for and what happened with...

I am not a big VG10 fan. I'm not going to complain about it, but consider it the bottom of good. Basically different people like different things or traits in their blade. I am one who prefers the D2, S30v types. But if I like a knife that has VG10 or 154CM it doesn't change my mind. I once said som...

I didn't see the Ankerson post but have used the SouthFork on deer, no pix though. Overall I really like it. W would prefer a little less upsweep on the tip, but that is probably only based on what I am used to. It takes a long time to sharpen. It does seem to me when comparing to D2 (my other game ...

there are a hundred good options. I use slip 2000. I have their knife lube, but normally don't bother to look for it and just use the gun lube. But these lube brands are not much different from each other in the end. Only thing is if cutting food things you want to consider whats in it. Slip 2000 is...

Looks like the normal/unblemished are all gone and only 115 blemished ones as of now. These went fast. \. Keep an eye on it. None have sold out this fast before. Surely this is due to not all of them being put into the system in the first place. As I recall they have sold out of the webstore in the...

So this is a 3yo bull. I assume you keep one intact for breeding, but butcher him before too old so that the meat is not too tough? How is the meat for flavor and toughness on a 3yo bull vs a 20 month old steer? I have meat from a bull in my freezer that my boxer eats. the Bull was a farm accident v...
