Re: BladeHQ Para 3 exclusive

That’s a Natural G10 and M4 blade for sure.

I guess that’s next in the “family”.

My Native is arriving today.

Guess I need to start saving for this one too.

Re: Sharpening

I just took a nick out of an S110V Native 5 with the brown SharpMaker rods. It will take a while but it can be done. I watched a lot of videos on YouTube. The one that helped me the most was one that recommend mounting the Sharpmaker down and using both hands on the knife. That made a big difference...

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Jade G10 CPM-M4

This one is shipping slower than usual. Most of the time if I order from BHQ on a Tuesday it shows up by Thursday. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow, otherwise it'll sit at the post office until Tuesday. They should have thought out their release date a little better with the holiday coming up, no...

For those concerned about the color and not liking the natural G10 here’s my PM2 I Rit Dyed orange-ish.

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Jade G10 CPM-M4

I only got one.

I think I’ll carry this one too. And not just safe it.

Good luck to everyone else.

Maybe they won’t sell out too quickly.

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Jade G10 CPM-M4

I just found out about this. Glad I didn't miss it. The Native is my favorite knife. Well, that's not true. The Caly 3 is my favorite and I like it so much I never carry it - as it can't be replaced. The native is my most carried knife. I carry an S110V lightweight almost exclusively. I have an S35V...

Rit dye works wonders. I don't like Jade either
Yes. Yes it does. This is one of my Jade PM2s

Very interesting pattern on the scales. I may have to break down and get one. Love the color too.

Re: What's the appeal of deep carry?

Making a knife harder to accidentally come out of my pocket is a plus. What I do is use my index and middle fingers to push the knife up from the bottom while it’s still inside my pocket. Then I just grab the knife as it’s already 1/3 of the way out. All in one smooth motion. Also I like the knife n...

Re: Why Not a Regular Production Caly 3?

I would say the Caly 3 is my favorite all time knife.

I have two of them. One I've carried and one that's new in box.

sorry.

New to Imgur. Tried the image button. But no joy.

With Photobucket you just copied the link and it showed the pic - not just the link.

Re: Spyderco "Pairings": Picture Thread

EDIT: Looks like Photobucket is too greedy to let you see my pic. It was an Orange Manix 2, Delica 4, and Dragonfly 2. An orange Manix (S90V?)?! I'm intrigued! If you can compress your picture's filesize or use something like imgur.com, I know I'd be intrigued to see it. https://i.imgur.com/Z340hnO...

Thanks to Sal for improving OpFocus program

I was excited to read in the latest Spyderco Byte that the OpFocus Program has been improved and streamlined. I'm a veteran who didn't retire. Which meant I wasn't eligible for the previous OpFocus program. Now, registering through SheerID, many more people are eligible. If you think you may qualify...
