Paramilitary 1st Impressions

This is a sweet knife. The lock is just great, it locks up positively and yet is easy to disengage with an index finger. It doesn't have the same satisfying sound as it locks the Military seems to. The blade length seems perfect for EDC; no one should get too over excited by this knife. I only cut u...

I was wearing my Dodo in my left hand pocket today, caught the clip on the couch, and popped the top off the screw. I like the wire clips a lot, but they are not as sturdy as the clips on the military. Are replacement screws available?

I used mine to cut the power cord in half on a bad power strip on Sunday. It took no effort at all. I love the SE for this type of cutting.

I love this part of the Golden knives. I am kind of bummed that on my 6 day old Dodo, Earth and Colorado are wearing off already.

Hi Dave. I had the same concerns about drawing the ronin from the neck sheath. With practice that became less of an issue for me. What I did find was that I need to be very careful when putting the ronin back in the sheath. For me, I seem to have to line up the knife perfectly so that the tip doesn'...

The Ronin is a nice knife. I tend to wear it around the house on the neck and keep it on my bedside table. It takes an edge on the sharpmaker in seconds. I managed to get stab into a phone book about 1/2 an inch with no problems, the choil gives a alot of confidence when stabbing and during normal u...

LJK it has the normal metal clip which isn't half bad. I like the way this knife sits deep in your pocket. Almost none of it is visible.

Yes, the Spyderco Factory Outlet in Wheat Ridge. There seemed to be plenty of SE and PE available. When I got the first knife I was going to purchase, I was unhappy with the amount of play in the blade and the gentleman went into the back and brought out another SE. I added a note very good picture.

Black Dodo 1st Impressions

I went by the SFO today on my way to visit my company's office in Golden. I intended to pick up a grey calypso. When I got there, the Black Dodo caught my eye. Personally, I have always regarded the Dodo as rather ugly, but kind of cool. So I asked to check one out and immediatley knew this was a ni...

Stevie Ray that is the only thing I don't like about the cobra hood. I keep pulling an open knife out of my pocket. It freaked me out the first time it happened.
