Gaucho/Patagonian/Argentinian knives.

I was reading about the famous Gauchos of Argentina and Patagonia; the cowboys of these places, and their history is a rich and fascinating one. They carry traditionally-distinctive fixed blade knives. Here are some websites I found with these: https://www.piecesofargentina.com/shop-knives http://ww...

"Most Durable" available Spyderco Knife?

I know this can get a little subjective at times but in a general sense, based on what you all know, and you can include discontinued models from the past, as well as available models from the current lineup, folding and fixed, which Spyderco knives are, in your opinion, the toughest and most durabl...
