Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal

Back in the late 70's to early 80's I raced 16ft Hobie cats on Lake Michigan. I was in the water every day all Summer for a couple of years but I was not a diver. Years later I started looking at knives and multitools and thought to myself how lucky I was not to die in a boating accident, because wh...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

Cool! A shillelagh looks and sounds really cool. Mine is just a standard rustic hickory walking stick from Brazos Walking Sticks. I also have a 53" twisted pattern hickory walking stick from them, but I like the plain rustic one better, and it's easier to maneuver quickly without the twisted p...

What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

I'm going to be out for 5 mile walks or doing yard work and wondered what cell phone app or designated player everyone is using for music or listening to radio shows streaming over the Internet these days. It can be an app that plays files on the cell phone, or online, or an AM/FM cell phone app. Th...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

Take care of yourself out there people! I do not believe in giving up or giving in. The current day is my immediate struggle, and I'll push out my life as far as I can. 100 YEARS OR BUST! I think that I am going to ask my doctors for Ozempic or Wegovy next month when I see them. I have 2 Drs appoint...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I may use quotation marks unnecessarily in forums but if I wrote a serious paper I think that I'd know when and where to use them. I was a decent student in college. I was asked by my instructor in an advanced English Lit course at my university to tutor a student athlete and help him get his homewo...

Didn't you have a similar "thread" about a year ago?

Dear Chinstrap: Welcome to the Spyderco Forum and thank you for your detailed post. Could you please explain a "saturation job" and what, if anything, might be different about the underwater environment of such a job? Thank you. Stay safe, Mike I looked it up, hope that I am correct, but ...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

I only cook with extra-virgin olive oil, and have for many years. Jim Excellent EVOO "extra virgin olive oil" is expensive. The growers know what they have. They send their products to be tested, and they like anyone else tries to get the best bang for their product. EVOO polyphenol count...

Pass for me. I'd love to see an XXL version around 4.5" though! There's so little options in the over 4" blade length category.
I'm with Vivi on this.

I'd like to see a few 4.5 inch bladed Spyderco knives. I'll take a 4.5 inch Native Chief!

"Life is short so try and enjoy it while we can." More like, "Life is short so try and enjoy it while we can!" That's what I am doing! Today I received a shipment of award winning California olive oil that is allegedly high in polyphenols and is very healthy for you, and it was s...

Re: Thoughts on the spymyto???

I think it may sell far beyond the typical Spyderco fan base due to it's design. I like the frame lock and the tab opening.
