Re: Why does this forum not have a "Like" button?

I'm not opposed to a like button. But, I also like the way the forum is laid out and usually when changes like that are implemented, they are in concert with other, more extreme changes. I have stopped frequenting many forums over the years because of "upgraded UIs", that made the sites a ...

Re: Spyderco Ulu?

I thought they did but when I went looking all I could find was the Maddox. If you do a google search you'll find threads from the early 00's talking about Spyderco planning on making one and even talks of a prototype. I also remembered seeing a Spyderco patent for a retractable ulu that sounds jus...

Re: Spyderco Ulu?

I bought my wife a ulu years ago. She used it once or twice and now it sits in a dark cabinet somewhere. There is a reason they never really caught on in the wider world. I bought one for my father years ago, with a shallow wooden bowl and he uses it to chop up herbs and stuff. Similar to a mortar ...

Re: CQI Shabaria ?

I have always wanted a Shabaria, for the blade shape. I would definitely buy one if it was a compression lock. I wonder how a R.I.L would work on such a thin(short?) grip area. As it stands, I have always considered it. But, the liner lock just doesn't float my boat. Maybe one day. A CBBL would defi...

Re: Blade HQ M4/Jade Rock Lobster

Darn, I missed it! Oh well! Money saved, is money earned. i wish the Lobster well. I have a Para 3 from the series, and am really looking forward to when they decide to release an Ikuchi (or, dare I dream, a Chaparral) in this M4/Jade combo. Good choices. Hoping for a M4/Jade G10 Street Beat myself....

I recommend the Caribbean, for a hard use folder.

Re: H-1 first impressions

I prefer H1 to LC200N, because of the finger printing I've experienced with LC200N. It may dull some while out fishing but I can bring it back to razor sharp quickly with the Sharpmaker. I have heard a lot of reasons for choosing one steel over another. But, this has to be the most eccentric reason...

Re: Watu on a Cutting Board?

One of my joys is food prep with my folding knives (I do keep them clean). I like the Kapara, of course, and the Manix for that. I've been eyeing a Watu, and wonder how it is on a cutting board? I mostly cut vegetables like celery, carrots, onions, and peppers, as well as fruit. I've come to apprec...
