Also, 5 damascus Delicas have gold tickets in their boxes. If you get one, you get a personal tour of the Golden facility by Eric and Sal and free Spydies for life. "It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal. YOU STOLE S30V BLADE STOCK! You bumped into the machinery, which now has to b...

I have been gathering the four mid line Spyderos for a project. Have to have White FRN to do it. It breaks my heart to dye these rare knives (getting rare, at least) but it was a project I have been planning for a while. I managed to get NIB pristine Ladybug, Dragonfly, and a Delica in White. I am ...

Just so everyone knows - the Cobalt Mules seem to still be available on the SFO website. If you don't have one yet, this is a much better price than you can get them in the aftermarket... Does this count as "dealspotting" if its on the SFO web site? :rolleyes: TedP Wait... We're not suppo...

I like the look of the micarta when it is wet, but when it dries it looks all dusty/powdery from where I sanded it, guess I'm not very good at it yet :) . Using it over time will give it that "wet" look from the oils on your hands. Halpern Titanium suggests treating their G10 scales with ...

A flat-ground Delica should be everyone's first IMHO. It has a low enough price that people who aren't used to spending hundreds on knives don't shy away from them, but at the same time they are much higher quality than any other folder you will find in the price range.... Plus there are enough of t...

I'm really jealous of your Glock. What is up with the slide serrations? Are those custom or do I just not know dick about Glocks? I don't actually own a handgun at this point... I really want an XD or a Glock, but my knife addiction needs to be curved before I can afford one. At this point I would h...

If you're talking trouble with the TSA, I'd bet they have photos of every pen sold as a "tactical pen" on file. If you're talking trouble with the nervous Neds and Nellies of the world, I seriously doubt they'd know the difference. Unless the Scrade has changed, the one huge advantage the...

I really regret not buying one of them when they were still in the wild. I like BRG, but not as much as that blue. BRG is just a tad too dark for my taste.

I want both the Delica and the Stretch in those similar powder blue colors.

Here's one I got from Korbiaka this weekend. A Military with tuffthumbz scales and a custom lowride clip. I am using his pics as I haven't had time to take my own. Korbiaka is a good dude. I bought a RIT dyed FG G10 Delica 4 with a tip mod from him on BF a few months back and talked with him a bit ...

I just (accidently) bought the S&W tac pen as well (**** Amazon 1 Click bid). I was looking at the Shrade pen since it looks like it might actually pass muster as an average pen. The Shrade logo looks like "Sharpie" kind of and it isn't quite as pointed as the S&W pen. Might change...

There are two kinds of updates. System updates and game updates. Since new games generally need to be patched to prevent hacking and fix bugs it can seem like an irregular amount of updates, especially if you have system update released in the same week. The PS3 4.0 update is strictly for support of...

Any expensive knife from Taiwan is amazing. The way Spyderco prices msrp (which often translates to a street price calculation) is based on their own expense. Combine this with a slightly lower Taiwan wage and a $90-130 knife from there is an unbelievable tool. Similar, the Tenacious is kinda expen...

Wowza! Nice pics guys. A few of these should have been in the Calendar competition this year. I'm not going to lie, this knife is purely for fondling purposes. I can't carry a knife this large due to laws in my area, and I can't carry a knife AT ALL on campus. It is what it is, but I will still enjo...

Something for you Watch Guys

So I know that for many of us quality knives and watches go hand-in-hand. I, for one, love a nice watch. I just bought an awesome new watch and thought I would share the brand since it wasn't one I was familiar with prior to doing some research. Anyway, I saw a Suunto Elementum Ventus while watching...
