spydercard in wallet.

whoah! image pasting!

not a movie, but the SpyderRench is featured in the back of the latest Maxim magazine... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

yeah, but that only has 2 or 3 locks types <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

need suggestions! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

if a cop hassles me, i'll claim its a tool, not a weapon. they don't bust people if they carry a swiss army knife in their pocket, do they? what about pens? i could cause grave physical damage to someone with just a pen. arrest me for concealing that. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=1...

anyone have a web page or what not of different blade lock types? pictures would be nice, so i can actually recognize one, instead of just being able to spout out "oh, a liner lock is blah blah blah whereas a lockback is blah bleh blah but blah"?

incidentally, the spyderco dealer listed as closest to me happens to be a florist. i walked in, and said "hi, i think i made a mistake... i thought you sold spyderco knives here."

"oh, we do!" said the petite, elderly woman behind the counter, watering some petunias.

mancer- trade ya if the clip for the native is still black <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> (only SORT of joking <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>) or sal- is a different clip orderable? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 al...

got my first spyderco-inflicted wound today <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> got overconfident closing my native with one hand, wasn't concentrating on it, and whoops, sliced right through the skin at the tip of my middle finger. that'll teach me to do that at work! <i...

hmm... the clip on my native is shiny... i could have gotten a dark, nonreflective one? i'd have liked that better. (also, a way to blacken and matte out the blade too) oh well. i haven't had these knives 12 hours and i'm still looking for stuff to cut... i don't think theres a box or newspaper left...

watching TV? i was doing it at work.

would oiling the "hinge" be a good idea? i have some gun oil that i use to lube my paintball markers mechanisms... would this be a good or bad idea to apply to the knives?



or do i just need to work them a bit, break them in a little?

wouldn't that just make it black, but not do anything about it being reflective? i think he was referring to the black/grey powder coat a lot of tacknives have. but, if thats the only thing one can do, i might just try it- especially if its so easily undone by a bit of alcohol <img src="smile.g...

I'm getting my Native and a spydercard any day now (**** UPS ground! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>), and as all of you know, a dull knife is an unsafe (and useless) knife. I'm not a knife expert, i'm not a knife fanatic, these will probably be my only two knives for...

from what i read, yes... a lot of states in the US (and airlines too!) are very restrictive. the smaller they are, the less questionable they are, from a legal standpoint. i think 3 inches is where airlines and authorities start questioning them, and isn't the gunting just under 3 inches?

broadly speaking: in america, its the liberals who want more restrictions on weapons, pushing for more and more laws, generally being reactive. conservatives tend to stand by their constitutional right to bear arms, often pushing for enforcement and punishment for a less restrictive set of weapon la...

oh, i completely agree... its the same reasoning that anti-gun people use. i was just wondering if the wording of this definition, in the NY lawbooks, openned up a loophole. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> - dan, desperately awaiting his spydercard, and word back on w...

i'm going to start carrying an overreactive bleeding heart liberal lobbyist for use as a bludgeoning weapon... maybe they'll get banned if the authorities catch me beating up a congress member with him <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

in NY, its illegal to sell one to a minor. as for possesion of by a minor, i don't know either.
