Re: Masters of the Air

It wasn’t until mid-December 1943 when P-51D Mustang fighters with the Merlin engine provided the US Army Air Forces with the high-performance, high-altitude, long range fighters which could escort B-17 bomber formations all the way to Berlin and back. Massive losses between June 1943 and December 1...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Looking at the prices of U.S. made folders with CTS-BD1N blade steel and FRN scales (Para3 & Native Chief) I’m guessing a street price of around $130-$140 for the Charisma. Ouch! Big money for a such a knife - I’d expect to be paying no more than $80. The Golden made Ukpk in the same steel with...

Re: What is your favorite Delica variant?

$200 in November 2016 dollars. Today, that’d be $275. Well they wanted it to be around $100 because "It's only a Delica". So maybe that was 1960 dollars. Spyderco folders made in Japan with liners and G-10 are too pricey which is why so few are made today. — Stretch2 XL with Satin Cru-Wea...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

The Charisma with the thin blade, 3” blade length, light weight and slim & thin package is right up my alley. Nice!

Well done Mr. Blonde! The three upcoming 15V folders you posted about (Military2/G-10, Manix2/FRCP, MicroJimbo/G-10) will all be Regular Production or Sprint Runs?

Re: Favorite sci-fi movies?

Watched Dune: Part Two (2024) in an IMAX theater a few days ago. Top notch for action and story. The visuals and sound were great in the theater.

Out of curiosity, what is the lock bar made out of? Is it corrosion resistant as well? In both models: “The knife's nested liners, fully configurable four-position pocket clip, and all other hardware are also crafted from fearlessly corrosion-resistant, marine-grade materials.” “To complement its b...

What’s the point of making such an already corrosive resistant blade, DLC!

Really hope they do this in a plain non DLC version.

Agreed. Prefer not to have yellow stripes in the satin blade version.

Re: Upping the price.

Yeah prices go up but opportunities are still available for lesser prices. Plus as others stated shop the twice yearly sales. If it’s not a need look for items to go on sale, be discontinued, secondary market (new or used) like BF or Reddit, FB, IG, etc. In 2023, there was a MAP holiday in July, di...
