Re: Button Lock Magnacut Caribbean 2
Actually, the button unlocking mechanism was listed on our patent when we patented the lock. Smock made a sample and Eric decided to try it in production to see results. It does require more parts, but the issues we had to deal with was safety and gravity knife issues. So far, we've had no issues. ...

Re: Shaman safety
Yeah, so what's up with these 'fugly' knives anyway.Sometimes there is a learning curve with my designs. Can you imagine all of the questions when we first came out with our first models in the early 80's? Clips, big holes in the blades, serrations?

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
As I have been sharpening professionally for 46 years (over 100K+ knives and 10K+ scissors/shears) and 54 years in total, ‘Chasing the Ghost’ seems like the perfect continuation of the Mule project. I’m all in.

Re: Elforyn laiying down the gauntlet
The material looks fantastic. I wonder what it's coefficient of expansion is. Is the material photosensitive like the old Westinghouse Ivory Micarta, i.e., does it turn yellow/orange over time. Does it absorb moisture like Micarta? How is effected by petroleum distillates, DEET, etc. Answers to thes...

Re: Polished FRN?
I seem to recall Sal once mentioning the handle on the Ramco/Laguiole being FRN (the only way they could get the desired shape was by injection molding) which would seem to answer the question. Spydiewiki says it is micarta. Does Spydiewiki have the wrong information? That is always possible. It lo...

Jim Phillips also made this fairly rare sterling pin of a R/H Serrated Police model with a L/H pocket clip.

Re: Knife Knuts, Steel Junkies, and Mule...???
I always think simple is best. Why not just "Mule Team". This trademarked term seems to already be a play on the 20 Mule Team All Natural Borax Laundry Detergent Booster & Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner. As an obscurely related aside, I believe one can make anhydrous Borax, forge weld...

Re: Spyderco Pre-Diver
Also, I find it interesting that a lot of the "old school" models are oriented for tip down carry, and wonder if there's a reason for it - or - that's just the way things started, and evolved from there. The original ClipIt patented concept was to orient the knife with the tip down. This ...

Re: It would be really cool if Spyderco could switch from 8Cr13MoV for budget blades to 14C28N
Which 9Cr? 9Cr13CoMoV, 9Cr18MoV, or 9Cr16MoV? Why and how much will that effect the price?I agree. We're looking into a switch to 9Cr now.

How does HIC edge retention and sharpness compare to Kyocera zirconia ceramics, both standard and HIP?

Re: That Spyder Hole ... What's it good for??????
Reminds me of the riddle: What does a drill make? Nothing. The Spyder hole is nothing, yet everything. Empty space that defines an entire genre of folding knives, the company, the man who created it, and the reason you are reading this forum.
