Re: Lynch Northwest Wire Clip Replacement Deep Carry Clip

I think like most things it depends. Hand size, clip configuration, mounting connection, etc. a few years back my CF Chaparral had the twisting problem.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

Traditional pocket knives has one or two. Maybe DLT. I have had a couple of Possum Skinners but the blade options on the Stockman is hard to beat. A little thicker and heavier than the PS but certainly not objectionable. It already bit me so it is an official keeper.

Re: Anyone else Aeropress coffee?

Well, I found my Aeropress neatly tucked away in a cupboard. Rescued it, cleaned it and have been using it for a few days. Four brews on the same filter. I just wash it out when I clean the Aeropress after each use. Brews great coffee quickly.

I’ve done this to a couple of mine and it t works a treat. What I don’t understand is that after all this time why Spyderco doesn’t do a CQI and fix this easily fixed issue?

He also worked with Kubrick on Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now screen plays.
