Thank you zhyla, Will take some pictures later today. The blade has a little bit space to one of the scales but is touching the other. Now when I open it there is friction there. Not much, but I want it perfect. I hold the scales in my hand while the blade is tip up. Then I move my hand down fast an...

Overall I like my Native a lot. The blade shape is just beatiful. However I got it only for three days and noticed that the handles grab the blade a tiny bit on one side. This makes it a bit slow when opening it. Its even worse when I hold the handles very hard and they bend inwards (same on my Tasm...

I have the TiBolt and a second one for my wife. Both of them are the "decorated version" Everything, even the tiniest screw is made from titanium. The spring of course is not. Ist addicting and looks tough. The stone washed look makes it look like some old but trusty tool which you will pa...

Thanks guys. Now I can sleep better :) I also used it in the garden and it performs very well. I cut through some 1/6 inch woody old and very hard sage (sage plant, not spyderco sage) without any problem. The blade didn't take a hit at all. On some cheaper knifes the tips of the serration would have...

OC is sold freely as a dog detterent. I think you are unreallistic about the whole race thing. Germany is a multiculturale country with a lot of colours on the street. Millions of german citizens don't look like the übermensch, and attacks are very VERY rare . Your family beeing targeted by skinhea...

I received my black native today and Im kind of happy but there are still a few things which bother me and I dont know if its real. Please help me to remove my doubts. 1.) The clip is hourglass, however at Spydercos homepage and the ebaylisting ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/290921185582?ssPageName=STRK:...

Thank you Amue, since its not clearly defined yet I don't want to be the case who becomes a precedent in a court :p Thanks MarcusH and Commendatore, Maybe it's best if I try them in a store, if they let me. Germany is very safe. So is driving on the Autobahn. Still good to have an airbag. Thank you ...

I'm firmly on the side of the old swedge and hollow grind camp. I think it looks more elegant and useful, not tactical at all. ffg just looks sterile and bland in my eyes. though I'm always on the side of function over form, however I think the old grind performs admirably, and I'm not sure if the ...

thank you noseoil

Thanks guys. Amue , The clarifications are quite helpful. Do you know how they define "combat knife"? Would the penknife or street beat be one? NoFair , The street bea(s)t looks interesting but its a bit too big and concealing fixed blades is a challenge. However the size makes it legal in...

Sign me up too.
Please make the clip on it ambidextrous for our left handed friends.

Just posting my review from Amazon a while ago. Still everything holds true so far. Will check the specs for their latest model and see if its enough of an upgrade to throw some money at them. ZebraLight H51 Headlamp AA 200Lm (Electronics) To be honest, I never heard of them before but all their spe...

Awesome review. Was fun to read. Thank you!
I hope your toe will heal 100% soon.

Hi I'm from Germany originally and want to go back there for some family function. I plan to stay out of trouble but wife and kids don't really have typical German features, if you know what I mean. We might argue how much of a risk that translates too but no matter how much we agree on, it is incre...

Matriarch II
Tasman H1

looking forward to finding a Spyderhawk somewhere or Spyderco coming out with a Matriarch or Civillian Salt

Got mine a few weeks back and am worried a bit. Why? The handles are only plastic which is not necessarily a problem if its good plastic. However the Tasman's plastic is too soft/rubbery for my taste. Why so? When I hold the closed knife in my right hand with tip up I swing it down and it deploys. I...

Please bring back the Salty Spyderhawk or even better create an H1 Matriarch / Civillian . Yes I want it as SD EDC and don't care for having to oil and polish rust away on a regular basis. (EDC includes outdoor activities where it can rain and I sweat) If edge retention is really a bit less for H1 i...
