To Greencobra Yes I did, but when you try one, you try'em all and as always, they all had that :spyder: feeling. Although its true that the curved shape makes the Persian follow your pocket line and fells way smaller when you sit and cross your legs... I do aerobics moves (one-two, one-two, spread y...

To JDEE,

Another differrence between Byrd and :spyder: is the warranty. Spydies are for life and Byrd only for 30 days from purchase date.

Do you go to Le Baron? that's where I go to drool :D Like I said in a previous post, they carry a nice "evantail" of spydies for the same price as NGK, without the hassle of transborder ordering... I noticed this past week end that they have a shortage on a couple of models (manix,...)......

South of the border too!?!?!

And I though Canada was the only place weird enough to have a law that could be interpreted in too many ways like the "gravity concept". Here, you can walk around with a 8 inches chef knife, but not a 1.25 inch folder that you can open one hand, holding the blade (Spyder drop :confused: ) ...

Replies: 18
Views: 2134

Wire-clip is great, but I found that it "snags" more to objects than a full metal one. When I wear a Windstopper jacket with elastics at the waist, it always grabs to it. But with a full metal (and yes, longer) clip, there is no problems. Thinking of it, I prefer long clips, high or low. M...

I handled one at the knife store the other day and I have to say it feels good in the hand. I though it was going to handle somewhat like a Buck 110 or something but it's very refined knife with, as everyone said, top notch fit and finish. Hope it stays in the Spyderco line-up for many years! -Dean...

Do I get a discount...

This past month, I turned 3 guys to the great spyder... My boss, who has been a long Buck fan with a grey Caly Jr, a coworker with a frn criket and a German friend who just ordered a Kopa... Not bad hey?

So, where's my gift certificate :p

Grim Fandango

I bought this game 6 months ago. It must be 5-7 years old but the graphics and the story are mahvellous. But the best part are the characters... Is there any personnage in a game that is as complexe as Many... Sure its old, graphics are slow, AI is inexistant, but just Google Grim Fandango and you w...

I've been with the same mate for the past 7 years. We had our fair chare of problems, but never between us. I think it made us stronger ... I know we're in it for a very long time.
And I wish the same to everyone...

AUS-6 is pretty good for your average office cutting (snack prep', enveloppe, cutting article in magazines,...) But a little heavier jobs like box cuttings, plastic, thin layers of metal (soda cans alike) and it will get dull after a cut or two... Yes, it's easy to sharpens, but I'd say a little bit...
