Re: Oil stain in Micarta on PM2

Thanks Big_Tex,
Already had a try with Isocol-will try again.
If still no good-will try dish soap and my wife's toothbrush :-)

Oil stain in Micarta on PM2

Does anyone know the best way to remove an oil stain from micarta.
I somehow managed to get a 1/2 dia oil stain on the pivot end of my new PM2 Crucarta.
Thanks for any help and please refrain from giving criticism .I've already done 10 push-ups :cheap-sunglasses

Re: Old guys on the forum

Currently looking down at daisies and trying to delay looking up at daisies. I wipe oil onto the blades of each new Spydie that arrives.I use my right pointer finger and have to concentrate on the direction that I'm going while putting the oil on the blade. Have lost concentration or been distracted...

Re: So I got a Smock

I put a sliver of skate board tape on the flipper.It halves the pressure required to flip the blade open.

Jealousy is a curse ! :-(
I will have to wait 2 weeks (plus?) for mine !
But what you have in hand is what I had planned on 2 weeks back.

I've got one on the way and also a set of black carbon fiber scales, so that I'll have an "all-black" Smock.

Re: DLT Exclusive OD Green G10 / DLC S90V PM2 Available March 30th @ 11:00 AM CST

Looks like I'll be having baked beans three meals a day in the near future. I can't decide on Spyderco Para 2 Crucarta or Spyderco Para 2 OD Green/BlackS90V, so I'll probably buy both. Hopefully they will be available a couple of weeks apart. DLT looking good !! Andddddd Priority Intl sure adds to t...

Re: Oily liners.

I run my Glocks wet (and cleaned and re-oiled after using) and same same with all of my knives incl my Spydercos.
And carefully wipe off excess on the knives.Then I don't sweat it after I've stored them.

I think "first come first served" is the fairest.That's a lottery itself.
Limit of one per customer.
Get a better server or vastly improve the current one.

Re: We’ve got the Military, the Civilian... but would a Spyderco Politician be a good idea?

The top end would need to be small and the bottom end fat.
It would be high priced and fairly useless.
The upkeep would send you broke fast because of high maintenance costs.

Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear

I've bought 13 Spyderco knives from DLT and am very happy with them and I think their service(including shipping) is great.
I forgot: a tee shirt also.
Their rewards system is another draw for me.
