The $20 off coupon code is for any orders over $100, and the code is SAVE20 Thanks! After a bit of browsing that knocked down the price of a Gayle Bradley to $101 and I couldn't pass any longer. Seen a couple sell used for more than that. I kinda hope they send me a new one with the skeletonized li...

Yea I actually gave up on getting a good deal on a basic black and jumped on a waiting list for the CTS with Gray handle, since I'd probably end up waiting anyway might was well get a different handle color and try a new steel for a similar price. (even if I do end up waiting a bit longer it feels l...

Sounds kind of ambitious, or maybe I'm just skeptical cause I haven't been to that site before... They didn't mention when did they?

Glad you got a good straight answer from them and what sounds like an amazing price on your new Military. Ive also had nothing but good (albeit straight forward) experiences with them. I paid and they got an excellent spydie in my hands in short order. Now maybe I has ADHD but . . . Poorfish coupon ...

A picture might help but dont be afraid to just work whats already on the strop into the leather better, you can heat it up (the leather with exsisting compound with a heatgun/hairdryer/flame ect) and just sorta massage it into the leather once softened up. Can really help even out the distribution ...

So many seem to love that color, you'd think they would start using it more. Not trying to knock the designers or anything but when people are willing to modify their knife just to get a nicer looking clip on it and others are asking all kinds of questions about the details of doing this, because th...

My first spydie the gen one endura was lost in the Map pocket on the back of a Ford Explorder passenger seat for a little over a year, maybe two. Came across it cleaning out the SUV cause it was being traded.

Had given up ever finding it, and then it was there in my hand !

I wonder since you have those on both sides of the fence if you could do something in the middle. Something a little more shiny/pretty (show off that sexy CF weave) and a bit less grippy. If both sides loved it, it would be perfect, but if it didn't meet the needs of both opinions it would be pointl...

Is the forum knife a long tradition that just didn't come together last year? Also is it something of a Frankenstein of available parts (colors, hardware, materials but keeping core design) assembled in a unique combo in a limited run; or has there been custom changes made to a knife design like a S...

You can share where you find your favorite hearts desires at what you appraise to be amazing steals of prices. That way even if you cant run out and pick it up, you know it went to someone whose heart filled with the same joy and was counting to hours until the box arrives.

I would only call this a reliable test if you could measure the force being applied to the cut every time, otherwise you might just be pushing harder with one knife than another. Yea an it seems ergonomics could really make this vary more then you could reaslize without a actual measure of some sort.

Replies: 41

For knives with blades under 4", tip up. For something longer, like a Military or Police, tip down, so you can quickly Spyder-drop it. This is my wisdom. Tip Up was my first gut reaction, and a strong one (my first gen Endura engraved 10yrs habit) with a molded clip. It's roughly the only reas...

Sounds like a hobby with a lot of magnifying glasses. Edit: While its on my mind, is there any reason why it was set for tip down carry to begin with?
