First that picture is awesome and can you make a poster of it and sell it on Spyderco.com?
Count me in for this idea! That would be an awesome poster!

Re: DLT Cruwear Endela

Mine came in on Friday, and it is a great example. Very keen edge, great finish on the blade and hardware, perfect centering, and typical very grippy Seki FRN. Lots to love here. This is my first knife in the DLT OD Green colorway, and I dig it. Ymmv. I'd say the Endela, to me, is a perfectly boring...

Re: POWERHOUSE

I just wish there'd be a serrated wharnie version (there is none, right?) - regardless if in ffg or that H1 sabre hollow grind, which looks nicely high on the DFly. I grabbed a Byrd Robin 2 in serrated wharncliffe to meet this need. That's an exceptional knife. Not quite as lightweight and ergonomi...

Re: DLT Cruwear Endela

Seems like, at least around here that the Endela has fallen out of favor. Yeah, I feel the same sentiment around here, but that definitely doesn't describe me. Between the Delica and Endura, I prefer the size of the Delica. But the Endela is goldilocks in my book. It's not talked about as much, but...

Thanks all, I really appreciate the birthday wishes!

I had a nice Italian dinner with my family, and then hung out with some friends and had a few drinks.

A great way to celebrate!

Re: Reveal 12 Live!

The MSRP on Enuff2 K390 is now good to go. Well, technically it was good to go at $240 but I am still in now. Blade HQ still lists it at $168, and they just reopened their pre-order list. Don't know if they will ultimately honor that price but might be worth jumping on if you are interested. https:...

Re: Rebuilding your collection from scratch

If I had to rebuild my collection from scratch, and really knowing my own preferences at this point, my collection would be far smaller than it is today. Small knife (for me, this is non-clipped dropped in pocket, second knife): - DF2 in K390 wharncliffe SE (alternate: Byrd Robin 2 WC SE) - a second...

Re: Post up your Rit dye projects..

Does anyone have insight as to whether it is possible to get the Seki K390 FRN to dye to a royal blue? Seems like that is taking a darker blue lighter, and so probably not possible. Any thoughts? Check Knives&Lint's post on page 15. Thanks Advan, exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate you d...

Re: Byrd Wharnies incoming!

I've been exclusively carrying a Byrd Robin 2 Wharncliffe SE as my small knife carry for the past month since I received it. It's an exceptional piece! Certainly won't replace my DF2s, but it has definitely earned it's place. And the honeymoon period with this knife has lasted FAR longer than normal.
