i find some of those needlessly complicated. You want to get them off at some point right? lol. I dont think I will be altering my bunny ears technique. If I want it more secure, I double knot the loops.

think you just answered your own question didnt you? you said it yourself your resilliance was made in china... Deacon mentioned all the countries that have spyder factories in them. The best in my opionion is the factory in taichung taiwan, followed by golden, seki city, then italy. dont own any ch...

my fluted ti military feels pretty **** light for its size. one more vote for the tuff, since you asked what the heaviest is... its a beast

I dont think anyone can wholeheartedly argue that pressing a button isnt easier than flicking a hole/stud in a high stress situation (or any situation for that matter). Also as another member said, (i think Blev) with an auto, you dont have to adjust your grip as much as you do with standard thumb ...

who will our new product announcements come from now!?!

dont need the info packet, but I have a puukko and its freaking amazing! much better than I ever expected. Its a perfect edc fixed blade, the leather sheath rocks, and its very comfortable to carry/use. The ironwood is beautiful, and I love the zero ground s30v!

i also have the 3.5 sb sprint, one of the best slicers ever made! id go with a 3.5, and if i were to buy right now id get the over stocked zdp model at cs

its polished g10, not micarta as some have said. G10 should be even harder to mark up though, so there may indeed be something wrong. for the record, my southfork is super solid in sheath.

I love large folders, the military is one of my favorites! My only Millie is the fluted titanium model (poor me huh?) and it's the smoothest deploying and closing knife I own, even above my sebenza! I also carry a police 3 spyderedge, so the size is not an issue for me. (and I cannot wait for the ul...

Pre order has been up for a while for the southard, and we have been hearing "soon" on the szabo folder for a while now, these two imminent models MUST be on the way soon! I was sort of surprized the tuff beat them both down the spyder pipeline. Does any one have a more exact idea when we ...

get a dodo, its too ugly to be threatening!

So is it safe to say if you spydie dropped a civillian in your environment, people might consider running ?

The dfly as stated is a great non threatening option.

I guess you have no interest in ownin a szabo folder when it comes out then...

Ill wager my Lionspy is every bit as tuff as my tuff, and that any knife like this is much tougher than any of us will ever need

yea evil d beat me to it, that sounds like a $200+ knife. One of the big cost drivers would be those liners since if you want it to be a salt knife, they would need to be Ti or H1, both really expensive. not to mention tooling up for an FRN mold for a new model and all that Its a great day dream thr...

still think you overpaid...

Hey, Jazz, I still have my first item I whittled, It was a dog carved out of soap. I believe the soap we used was ivory, it made a FANTASTIC first medium with which to learn whittling. I HIGHLY suggest anyone trying to teach this to a youngster pick up a six pack of bar soap, the squarer the better,...

hmm.. sounds interesting actually. Since I don't know myself about those knives used. that one gets my vote. i have one clipped to my firecoat. It is very easy to deploy with fire gloves on, i have no idea what kind of gloves underwater welders use :confused: but i can imagine they are a bit bulky....

thank you sir! I appreciate it. My personal favorite bowie folder is a modfied bowie grind that was on one of the hand made hinderers.

Well, my problem was with the controlled opening. I can open it your way and with a middle finger flick and a wrist flick reliably. Slow and controlled is easy. It's drawing and opening fast with thumb on thumbhole that's my preference and my problem(I flub it about 30 percent of the time). My thum...

Really, no suggestions for using Coke a cola to eat off the rust? Let it sit in the stuff overnight, itll eat rust off anything (incluing the battery terminals of a car battery)

Thanks for the vid DC, I guess it works for you. I can flick with my thumb or middle finger but I prefer not to. Maybe the Yo2 just doesn't work with a normal controlled opening with the thumb. Anyhow, a controlled opening is how I practice with my SD and we do find that it's one of the least likel...
