Re: Newbie pic request

If you're not a fan of the patina or maintenance that comes with preventing it, you could always get it coated.
This is my GB with a cerakote (other coatings like DLC or TiCN are also an option).

Re: 2022 Spyderco Forum Calendar Contest

https://i.imgur.com/emwBO1o.jpg Model: Endura Damascus Jigged Bone Sprint Run SKU: C10JBO The Endura is a Spyderco icon by now; loved by most (if not all) Spydie nuts and known to be quite the workhorse.

Re: How does your Significant Other coexist with your knife collecting syndrome?

I'd say 5.
She encourages me to pursue the hobby because it makes me happy; thus making her happy by seeing me happy.
She has a couple Spydies of her own and can name more models than most people in the hobby at this point :p

Re: Are there fake UKPKs?

There are fakes and this appears to be one of them.
Missing markings, font placement, no cutout in the show-side scale for the pocket clip, etc.

Fake Tuff?

I was really happy to finally find a Tuff for a decent price on the secondary market. I wasn't aware of Tuff clones having been made, so I felt safe in buying it. After receiving it, it just didn't feel right... On the left is a verified Tuff and on the right is mine: There's some obvious difference...

Re: Who loves their Pochi, and why?

Haven't pulled the trigger on the Pochi yet, but I have to admit I really enjoy my McBee.
Seeing how they're very similar in size, I reckon I'd like the Pochi as well :)

Re: Why are so many people concerned with perfect blade centering?

It heightens the general sense of quality and fit and finish.
Besides that, there are some knives where the blade will rub against the inside of the liner/frame when off-centered too far.
This will cause scuff marks or scratches on the blade, and that is no bueno.

Re: Spyder Classics: The C-54 Calypso ( the big one)

Great model and I've always been a sucker for micarta! Glad to have picked one up some years ago (despite the hefty import tax) :) https://i.imgur.com/kevKpaS.jpg The Calypso Jr. sees quite a lot of carry as well; just like the Delica in relation to the Endura. Would've placed those in this pic as w...

Re: Ladybug/Manbug with Pocket Clip

I might have an idea in regards to making a clip with backwards compatibility. Excuse the rudimentary paper cutout, but it gives a better illustration than 10 lines of additional text would :p https://i.imgur.com/LgZuWMz.jpg Basically you'd be repurposing the lanyard hole since the FRN models don't ...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Black stainless steel Spyderco A.T.R. is on it's way to join it's stainless steel brother :D
Still on the hunt for the Ti version, but might just get an A.T.R. 2 in the meantime if one comes up for a good price! :p
