Spyderco Forums

I have 2 Emerson knives. They are good knives. I like the grips they never disappoint.

- Emerson Karambit 3.2 inch fixed blade
- Emerson Tactical Kwaiken

There might be 2 others that I'd like to purchase in the future if I have the funds when they are available.

Thanks for the photos and stories!

What don't I like about Spyderco Knives? I'm very easy to please. All that I demand from anyone or any corporation is not to hurt me, rip me off or backstab me. That's pretty much it. If you don't do that to me, and you deliver what you promise in writing, verbally on a handshake, you are gold to me...

When I was younger these adventures would have interested me. - African safari - Alaskan hunting trip - Canadian fishing trip in a remote area And while I love firearms and support 2nd Amendment organizations, I've mellowed on taking down these great beasts. Nonetheless I'd love to go with a hunting...

"Are you a Conscious Response or an Unconscious, Compulsive Reaction?" This both is and isn't martial arts-related. I've seen a muscle guy a lot like the P'd-off bodybuilder in the video go off on someone just like that and then get decked. Maybe the bodybuilder in the video had 'roid rag...

Thanks all! It's great to be part of the Forum and have a few Spydercos I can call my own. I guess that I should have typed out the letter to the editor where the guy was complaining about Spyderco winning an award at Blade's Knife Show. In the primary letter to the editor the was bashing Spyderco a...

I like Massad Ayoob. I collect his books and videos.

I don't have a knife by him yet, that would be cool.

My letter to the Editor at Blade Magazine made it to print on page 6 of this month's issue. They have my last name incorrect but that's fine. If AI and the robot overlords come looking for me they will not find me! https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93942&p=1681189&hilit=blin...

I need to buy these one day: https://gmbobbytaboada.wixsite.com/home/products That book sure looks interesting. A bit expensive for me right now, and I have a bunch of books I acquired back during the first part of the pandemic that I still haven't gotten to yet. Jim I hear that if you have a sparr...

I like the large auto dagger, the Godfather. But I do not like the fact that your hand can slip onto the blade if you thrust into something hard. Haven't bought one yet.

Years ago I started writing a corny document about what it takes to survive if there are people set on harming you. The document is called, "Surviving A Purge." I started with rules for all major styles of combat sports and then set out to find out what was NOT allowed, and made that my mi...

'He Saw Demons and Knocked Heavyweights Out' - Ike Ibeabuchi, the Undefeated Puncher The Ike Ibeabuchi/David Tua fight was an underrated classic. Ibeabuchi could have potentially gone down as one of history's greatest heavyweights, but he hasn't, and for good reasons. https://youtu.be/d5B3EDh-G0s J...
