Re: What Spyderco if you were in the Military?

Carried a Delica for a good bit of my time as an Army Medic, probably still would.

Re: Favorite non spyderco knives?

My work EDC for a while now has been the Civivi Baby Banter. I like it enough that I got a second one. It feels very good in-hand, and it's small size does not make the knife muggles at work nervous. My 1st was a regular Nitro V blade version that I added aftermarket space kitty scales from Knafs. M...

Re: The WolfSpyder - any updates?

Really hoping for another run of these. Even better would be a change in steel to Cruwear.

Re: 2023 M.L.B.

Sucks to not be watching my Braves after the **** of a season they had. I'm hoping MLB takes another look at how the playoffs are done. Oh well, as long as the Phillies are out I am happy.

Re: Stok

I handled them at BLADE and I liked them, BUT I'm not a fan of the steel. Lots of other options in that price range with steels I prefer like Nitro V or Sandvik 14.

Re: Maxamet Sage 5 LW Discussions

Handled this at BLADE this year and really liked it. My only concern is if I would be able to properly sharpen Maxamet using my Norton med grit stone or my Spyderco Ceramic med grit stone.

And a bonus of the Taurus snub revolvers is 6 rounds compared to the typical 5.

Re: CCW revolver

Ruger LCR is my pick. I use to own a S&W 36-2. Shot it well enough, but always thought the trigger could use some work. Then I traded into a Ruger LCR. Better trigger, no hammer to snag, and I shoot it slightly better. About the only thing I found better about the S&W J-frames is they are s...

Re: Favorite 3” in house spyderco folder?

Delica.

Lil'Temp & Caly 3 are close behind.

I've carried every version of the Delica - from the 1st to the current 4th. Ergonomics are perfect for my hand, does everything I need a knife to do, and it's not so expensive or rare that I'm afraid to use it.

Re: Buried with Spyderco

Most of my knives will be going to my oldest son who inherited the knife-nut gene. The remainder will be split between my youngest son & friends/family. That said, my ashes will be scattered near my Army Unit's memorial on Ft. Campbell. I have thought about leaving one of my knives on it to be u...

I've carried & used every version since it came out - Delica Family. The Delica, for me, is a perfect blend of fit, function, and affordability. I love the Caly 3, but it's not as easy to replace. The Rhino has become one of my favorite Spyderco knives, but sadly discontinued. Among currently p...

Re: Sage Questions

Good info. The Sage was never on my radar till this year at BLADE. After handling the prototype Sage LW in Maxamet I was very interested. That’s curious because I’m pretty sure Eric briefly described in an interview a Burnt Orange Sage 5 LW in REX121. I also know from another thread that Sal carrie...
