Re: Spyderco Ouroboros

I just did a quick google search and I cannot find a pic of this knife. Is there one anywhere?

Re: Diamond vs CBN rods grit

Thanks gents. I will sum it up as I see it. Cliff's testing could not find much of a difference yet but he had more testing he wanted to do. And as to why they were introduced in the first place... "Hi Joel, Welcome to our forum. With regards to your question, the simple answer is we don't know...

Re: The Vrango folder

That is a great looking knife right there. I really like that blade design and think it would be very useful in edc. Beautiful piece. But from what I read and see it looks smaller than a Native and without a choil. Is that correct? If so it might be a little too small for my mitts. Which sucks becau...

Re: Sanding my Halpern Titanium Mule Scales (Pic Heavy!)

My royal blue/black G-10 scales don't look so great. Did yours start to look better after sanding them? Hi Ruarch, the stock ones I thought were kind of bland looking in my mind with the texture they use. Sanding them down really brought out the colors and layers a lot better. The color difference ...

Re: East Coast seconds sal>?

2 thoughts I had about this. First was that it hopefully lead to one in Chicago or Minneapolis and I could finally participate. But after a little thought, I kinda like the seconds sale only at SFO. I have never been there but plan on one day making the trip and getting to participate in the sale an...

Re: Knife Purchase for around $150

My 2 mostest favoritest knives are about that price range. Spyderco Domino and an Esee Junglas. Aside from my Mora Bushcrafter and my Condor Bushlore, I probably carry/use my Domino and Junglas more than the rest of my knives put together. All 4 of those I use the crap out of. I plan on using my Mul...

Blue anodized titanium

So I am contemplating a Mantra 2 for my next Spydie. I am wondering if anyone has gotten the blue anodizing done on any of their titanium (Sage 2, Techno, etc..) and how did it turn out? Does it affect the knife in any way? Has anyone gotten it done on their Domino? Do you run the risk of getting yo...

Re: Need help on a new slim EDC - no lockbacks

I need some opinions! I am looking for a small/mid sized EDC knife. Slimmer is better. Sub $100. But, I do not like lockbacks. I am fine with liners, compression, axis/ball bearing, etc. Any ideas? The best fit I can find is the sage 1, but I was hoping for something a little less wide/more pocket ...

Re: EDC Battle: Delica vs. Endura vs. Stretch

I wonder if the people who aren't voting for the Stretch have actually used one, or if there are other reasons they don't like it, like the spine curve or maybe blade length restrictions. It truly is a notch above the other knives in this poll. As far as back lock Spydercos go, I think the only kni...

Re: Fixed Blades versus Folders?

I like collecting folding knives. I have many more of them than I do fixed blades. I tell my wife that I do not wear jewelry, expensive clothes, and I have no tattoos. My individuality is expressed through my edc gear and therefore folders. Having said that, I prefer a fixed blade any where I possib...
