I never 'got' the Walker C22 design, until I got the zdp-189 carbon fiber sprint run as a gift. Wow, what a knife! Awesome user and slicer. +1 okay +2 actually. I was in Japan recently and managed to find both a lightweight in AUS 8 and a blue Almite sprint while I was there - very impressive knive...

I've been asked to relocate to Mauritius and thought I'd see what the knife laws look like. It isn't pretty! "Any person who manufactures or sells any stiletto, dagger, knife in the shape of a dagger, whether for the pocket or for a fowling piece or any bayonet ..... shall be punished by impris...

Mines packed away in my camping box so not at hand for a photo - when you do get it, put on a stainless clip rather than the black one it gets issued with - much more better!

What dbcad said. I'm a big fan of the Centofante 3. If I am at a BBQ, this is the knife that I have with me as I always end up helping at the fire and I have no problem with others using it, even if the cut the meat on the grid - it is easy enough to touch up afterwards. I have a spare one that is j...

Phew! Glad to know I'm not the only person on the planet who doesn't like the Damascus Spyderco uses. I'm not wild about it either. Of the Japanese damascus, I prefer the more "subtle" patterns that are on the Mcusta and Seki Cut damascus. I'll try and get some pictures up later ... we ar...

Does anyone know if the Delica pivot in the replacement parts kit will fit a Centofante 3? I can hardly drop an e-mail to Spyderco and ask seeing they do not encourage voiding the warrantee by stripping their knives. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Centofantes and Delcas come out of the same fa...

I would break a few resolutions and sell a family member or two into slavery if one of those passed near me .......

New Years resolution not to go mad buying knives didn't last too long. A week into 2013 and there are already two new knives in this house. Scored a discontinued foliage green fully serrated Endura a few days ago and picked up a Centofante 4 this morning after dropping in at a outdoor shop "jus...

Fully serrated Endura and a SAK with Alox scales. At the time I remember making a list of all the equipment my armored car troop destroyed in 5 months on the Namibian / Angolan border in the mid 80s. The list has disappeared but I do remember that it was substantial ... based on that recollection of...

What Zenith said. My ZTs almost never see the light of day. Very occasionally I'll break out one of my SNGs but then I'll have something else with me that is designed to slice. I would imagine that Spyderco more than covers the "hard use / tacticool" demand with the Tuff and all the other ...

I'd throw the Centofante 3 into the mix as well. I suspect that it depends on the environment he is going to be using / carrying the knife in. My experience (by no means expert at all) is that S30V may just pip VG10 for performance but I like both steels so for me that wouldn't feature in my decisio...

I'll be in for the Goddard sprint (probably 2) and the Friction Folder. Hoping that another round of G10 Delicas and Enduras come through later in the year.

I have only once felt the PPT was too heavy, and that was with my lightest pair of khaki shorts that are pretty thin. It felt like it weighed down my pocket. Everything else I've ever used it with, it has not felt heavy. I think if you know how much it weighs before you carry it, it won't bother yo...

I have to humbly suggest that anyone who has considered buying a Large Lum Chinese at any point in time, order one post haste. It's a nice knife and a has such a beautiful VG10 blade. +1 I got a spare one when I saw the Starmate pricing and thought that if they make another run of Lum's the price i...

@PSquared Where oh where did you get those scales from? Are they Cuscadi? How much was it to get it done :) This has been my dedicated carry since I got it with the odd DF2 pocket time. I like how NKP don't think anything of it and got a few cute remarks! They are Cuscadi. 60Euros and it changes th...

Aaaarrgghhhhh!! I got a spare Lum Chinese a month ago in anticipation of it being discontinued. Should have waited a few weeks until the specials came out!! None of the others really float my boat but at these prices I may have a closer look at a Chokwe and a Breeden Rescue just because they are so ...

So I have had my Pingo for two weeks or so and I thought I’d share a few thoughts. Whilst I don’t usually carry knives this size (either go smaller (Ladybug) on my keys or at least 3 inch blade) there are times and circumstances that I do carry blades of this size – usually when travelling. Same goe...

It's obvious that tcrawford isn't happy with the Starmate but if you watch his Szabo review as well (looks like it was done straight afterwards), that glows with praise for the Szabo. I have two Moki made Spydercos. The small Persian 2 is a bit disappointing when it comes to fit and finish. not bad ...

Thanks phaust - note to self, read all possible related threads before posting

The Puukko is a surprise!

With the exception of the Puukko, it might be an early peek at the disco list ......
