The best way i can describe my delica blade play, is equal to a cheap china made knife, that feels like it could fail on you at any time.

I have a ffg delica 4 with no blade play what so ever, and have tightened the pivot screw with no success. Is this common on the saber grind delica or have i ...

I also had a very large phone, and found that both the delica and native both fit nicely. Blade length on those is under 3 inches ,but they're great edc knives.

I've been looking for a small enough torx head screwdriver to remove the pocket clip from my knives. The smallest one my hardware store has is a t-9, does anyone know what size for the spydies,and where online I can buy them??

I'm loving the g-10. refer to website I mentioned for a great price. I am thinking that the g10 is gonna suit my needs in that knife more than the zdp-189 would. I think I'll save my first zdp-189 knife for either a delica, endura or stretch. But I still can't decide I've been on the fence for 2 wee...

I want a "mosquito"

I saw a picture of what some say is a modified ladybug. I believe some called it the mosquito. Possibly looks double edged, anyway I heard they were made ever so often, and was wondering, when they might be made again? I've got to have one of these little guys...
