I guess that depends on what you do during your weekends...If you spend em in the woods or working in the garage (hobbyist), extensive yard work, or at the beach swimming in salt water. Each of those would vary greatly as would taking it easy, going out in public or opening mail. I guess what Im say...

It's not Wiha quality, but very good for the price, even the smaller bit's have well defined edges (crisp machining) and you don't get that feeling like there gonna twist an deform if ya have to put a little effort into breaking the locktite.

I actually just got my Tuff yesterday too, open'd and closed it a couple times and the third time I managed to push the lock a little further (took the pressure from the ball detent off the blade completely) and the blade glided right down into the skin over the thumb knuckle. It literally bit me wi...

Seems to me the knives that come from Spyderco's Taichung, Taiwan always have premium materials, and the best fit an finish of the company. Not knocking the other's but there lineup coming from there is more top tier than not. Any hint that its a discount factory is lost on me completely. They produ...

I dig it, even prefer it. Nicely Done! An agree that Spyderco's iterations are often too expensive. I might be wrong but I think its the Dragonfly, you can get it with a ZDP-189 blade cheaper than you can with G-10 scales. I cant say I fully understand why this is, but its not my favorite thing abou...

I feel like the Stretch and the Police model's both get left in the shadow of the Endura, yet have better ergonomics for actual use. I want a CF-ZDP Police model now :)

Some kinda Stretch II is in my pocket just about any time I have a pocket to stick one in.

So 25 degrees is either inclusive (12.5 per side) and possibly too thin, rolling or flattening quickly. Or not inclusive meaning 50 degrees total and almost an axe grind, possibly with a wire edge that wears off quickly?

Im far from the expert though just the first two scenarios that come to mind.

When choosing model it's been suggested that we might be able to piggy-back off an existing order for an upcoming sprint and simply customize from there. (color, markings and the like). I think it was the Bento Box shop custom pre-order thread where I first saw the suggestion. Would possibly get us ...

I completely agree that not all LEO's are going to be "like that." But all have the power to be. I haven't found a way to look at one and judge if he's like that or not. The way I see it either way you can't go wrong. We the average joe's are at the mercy of your power, be you an honest, m...

Don't just take someone else's word for it, actually look up the law yourself. LEOs have a busy, demanding job and may not aways be familiar with the nuances of laws about knives. That's why YOU should know 100% what is legal or not. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you ever try telling any form of...

I dunno if I could bring myself to carry the CF Stretch 2 daily. It's so beautiful that I'd throw a fit if I lost it or ran across a less than moral LEO and he took it. Ive been in love with the VG-10 model and will carry the FRN-ZDP when it arrives (tomorrow).
