I am mostly sticking to customs now. I missed out on the PM2 madness. To be honest, I have rarely met a knife I didn't like. When I started collecting I tried to buy everything and ended up with a random assortment. the next Spyderco I hope to get is the cruwear Military. I don't have any of the re...

This is my M390 Mule with some new scales. The scales are made from unstabilized Australian red gum with thin red G10 liners. I decided to try something different this time and fitted a piece of red/black linen micarta to the tail of the scales using GFlex epoxy. As usual, these are knockdown scale...

Flashlights, umbrellas, canes for the elderly, pens, etc. All tools designed for more than strictly martial applications. Still, with lethal intent all of them will have you staring at a bumpy trial. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6 though, IMO. Its that same fine line of application of l...

Its a difficult issue I've mentioned before about Silat practitioners using a garment like a sarong . Seems silly that a skirt like piece of clothing can be harmful at all but if you practice these moves. They can be very effective and can be transferred to a jumper a t shirt all sorts . Whilst that...

It was a toss up between the lighting strike model or the Vallotton for me but got the latter . I'd still like this but would prefer the original but with thicker scales the lightning strike cf is aesthetically great but when its made thin it loses some appeal . Des horn makes some great Lightening ...

Depends where you are too , some places are easier to find than others , a recent thread posted a member walked into a store and found a shed load of discontinued models.

Looks a bit like the Vallotton to me... but, not nearly as nice / elegant. Can't see the correlation no disrespect to yourself :) unless you mean the abstract stand alone design , I think this could've been a wicked design had some bevels been tweaked . The shape of the blade given more depth and s...
