Re: Idea: Lanyard Tube Removal Tool

What about using a Drill Press. Put a 6 inch piece of s/steel tube(correct dia.) in the chuck and press out the lanyard tube. Use a hollowed out piece of wood underneath. The reverse could work also(to reinstall the lanyard tube) PS , I don't think this has been suggested before ??? Excuse me if it ...

Re: a little (REC) help for down under

Thanks husq2100. I have about 40+ spydies, but that one is a bit out of my league ! Got a few para3's and just recently bought a Red G10 M390 Para3. I have looked at a few of those USA shipping only sites and just give them a miss. I don't like the idea of freight forwarders, but maybe that's just m...

Re: Just ordered some Nano Oil *cough snake oil cough*

I'm currently using a Boker Oil Pen. Very lightweight oil. Seems OK so far.
I put some on the pivot and use my finger to smear oil all over the blade.
Sometimes I forget which way to run my finger and get nicked.Focus,focus !!!

Re: Starting to buy Spydercos in pairs!

Yea, I know what you mean.
I've accidentally doubled-up on a few PM2's and PM3's.
But I've deliberately bought two each of Aqua Salts and Jumpmaster 2's so that I have a "user" and a "safe queen" of each.

Re: Kapton washers

What about shims--trigger/hammer shims that are used on eg Smith & Wesson revolvers.
They come in 1 thou and 2 thou thickness. They are in brass or bronze?.I can't remember the dia's.
