Re: Improvement suggestions for your favorite Spyderco knives?

I'd like a salt lil native. Also a delica with s30v might be nice... But the main thing I want is a wire clip that can mount to the 3-screw attachments on regular clip knives like the delica endura and para3. Maybe two washers, one with the two grooves, the other that fits above the clip, and the th...

Re: Favorite "HARD USE" Blade Steel

I would say s35vn i have two natives in it one half serrated. Both hold an edge excellent but I've also nicked both edges cutting things that had unexpected metal in them. The edges cleaned up easy even tho i suck at sharpening. But vg10 is good too. I have often wondered if for hard use ease if sha...

Re: Lil’ Native lockback

I got the lockback version, it is awesome.
Yea the lack of texture is odd, but doesn't bother me.

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

EDIT: you mentioned "trained combatants" and "disarming." I think most people's understanding of how knife attack mechanics is highly inaccurate (I blame movies & TV). If you want to see an accurate portrayal of these attacks, do a search for surveillance footage of prison a...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

ZRowsn1s, Fortunately my friend who runs the local bike shop used to do both tae kwon do and hapkido years ago. At one point he taught hapkido. But while for my own peace of mind I would like to ask him about a handful of basic things, I fear it would be awkward. Have to figure out how to bring it u...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

If someone threatened me with a knife, I'd bore them to death by explaining the ins and outs of edge geometry, how the steel they chose isn't the best choice for stabbing humans (along with an in-depth explanation on how carbides, chemistry, and heat treat affect those properties), and then use the...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

^Doeswhateveraspidercan... To reiterate, it was not my intention to hurt anyone. A woman was robbed at knife point a block from my house in broad daylight today in front of a crowded store. I was simply asking what I should do if this happened to me, as I've never really thought of it before... neve...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

Yep, gotta concur with the above posts, give up the wallet, run if possible, and live to pray for the soul of the "man" who robbed you. Gosh, a knife fight is a terrifying idea, one I'd only consider if death or injury were truly imminent and there was no better option. Terrible is my tho...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

Spyderedge, I do bicycle so I carry a lock and chain or cable nearly all the time, or a u-shackle lock, though usually in a backpack and not quickly accessible. not as massive as a motorbike chain but still a bit of ironmongery. also I still have the belt holster for my u-shackle lock from back when...

Re: What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

That's what I was afraid of. Although to be fair I'd kind of figured that there was no easy answer. It is sad that I even have to think about this, I never have before, small town like I said, I mean I've had a few people try and kill me before on the bike but as a cyclist you get used to cars as po...

What to do if someone tries to rob you with a knife?

So I've never thought much about this before, to me a knife is a tool, but today someone got robbed in a crowded parking lot within a block of my house in broad daylight at knife point, as far as I know this type of thing has never happened recently in the small town where I live. It makes me wonder...
