Spyderco Forums

I have carried stockmen & trappers for 40 years or so & have never felt I needed a lock. I do carry locking knives as well but see no real advantage over a well made slipjoint. If I am going to chop something I will use a big fixed blade or an axe. If I am going to pry I will use a crowbar.

I only buy knives that I want to keep forever; in 30 years(many brands & many knives) I have never sold one & don't ever plan on selling one. I have given some away but I am more of a hoarder than anything else. I don't look to make money on any knife that I own. I just enjoy having them and...

I would prefer sandpaper & a strop as I usually convex the edge on any knife as soon as it gets dull the first time. Corrugated cardboard works pretty good for touch ups.

I have the FRN Stretch 2 in ZDP & VG10, they are both nice.

If you live in Canada & order online from the States you get to anticipate for a long time, usually 3 weeks minimum!

forgot a few: Manix& mini Manix
