Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

I'll try to get some pics up, so far the flipping action is good. I mostly role it with my thumb but you can also use your index finger.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

Picked up a Boker plus exskelibur 1 decade edition. I really am liking this knife, really clean lines, good feel in hand.

Re: The Vrango folder

Michael,
You knife has great lines, I really love the blade shape. I would be interested to hear about your thoughts behind the design and what that process was like. Thanks spyderco for opportunities like this.

No, please no. I would have more interest in a Stanley knife collaboration.

Moran in Upgraded Steels

Sal mentioned that Bill Moran wanted to use a premium steel for the Moran fixed blade, VG-10 at the time. Would anyone be interested in a Moran with say K390 or S110V?

Re: Rice

Consumer reports is the source, the amounts are not large. The primary source is soil. I would also choose rice from outside China and do when I can, primarily because I can't always trust that it is rice.

Re: What's the chance of a K390 sprint?

I think we will see the same Manix, Native treatment as the S110V, probably a PM2 and Military. From Taichung a Mantra in k390 would be appealing. FRN color will be coyote brown

Re: Danish Knife Laws

Thanks gentlemen,
We will actually be exiting the airport to tour a bit. Probably better that I find another way to get the knives back to the US.

Danish Knife Laws

I'm looking to travel with my family back to the US via Denmark this summer. I have a few knives that I want to take a few knives with me. These knives are locking and one hand opening. Is it illegal to posses these knives in luggage? I don't want to break the law but I don't want them confiscated. ...

Re: What Makes Them "Value Folders"

They should call them "gateway" knives. I started with a dragonfly. I thought I could stop. I thought I could say no.

Re: Been away for a while, wanted to start collecting new Spydercos, but the prices??

There is still a lot of value in the native series, delica and endura line ups. You are looking at the high end with the Nirvana, a great knife as Surfgringo said but don't overlook the value throughout the rest of the line up. A sports car and a pickup are made for different purposes and price poin...

Re: Butcher blade tip and bones

Which mule? I have used my S110V mule to process game and the only damage I have seen is some very slight tip damage from hitting bone just like you. It has always been easy to sharpen out though. What size animals are you processing? I find the mule to be a great size for deer but kind of small fo...

Butcher blade tip and bones

I use my mule to process meat but have noticed a bit of tip damage when I'm separating the hip and working to pop through vertebrae. Not much just a bit. I really wish the mule had another inch or two of reach and am looking forward to the sprig but was wondering about tip profile on it and the Sout...
