Re: Fred Perrin Native Review on Nemo Geocities

Great to see that bit of Spyderco, Nemo, and Fred Perrin history back online!

Written with Lil'Native in the pocket. The Native has proven to be a strong presence in the Spyderco line-up!

Re: Spyderco’s Polestar & Alcyone should not be in the “VALUE LINEUP”

Hi Sal, I have had a Polestar and found it to be a good knife (my review) . I like that handle material!

Two Slip-its I thinned out. Used an x-coarse DMT and Fallkniven DC4. Pretty happy with the results! :-)

Re: The Knife Shop Pilgrimage Thread

Great story Vivi! Thanks for sharing.

At the moment I go to Paris from the Netherlands every year and visit Nemo(3000) for some knife fun. We usually visit a knife show (or 2) and some times a knife shop. I take the fast train (Thalys) and not the bike though. Good fun!
