Re: Lil' Native Wharncliffe

I don't get it, considering that Lil Yojimbo is going to be released in future.

Re: The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight: A comprehensive review

Yeah, mine was on promotion and still expensive. Note that I'm from part of EU which isn't making money in € or £.

Re: The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight: A comprehensive review

So it's still not drop shut like PM2? I had to remove two of four washers in my G10 version to make it smooth without blade play and big gaps between stop pin and scale. But to close it in one take I need still rapid wirst movement. Very thoughtful review, Zulu - thanks very much. I'll admit, the un...

MSRP is $106 higher than Ayoob's. Why?

Re: why does the lil' native have minimal jimping?

Seems to be a deliberate design choice when other similarly small models like the Dragonfly has it. Then again you never know what kind of feedback Spyderco has gotten, we forum folks may prefer it but Spyderco may be hearing from a much larger audience that others do not. Jimping is just adding co...

Re: why does the lil' native have minimal jimping?

It should have jimping on fingerchoil. Finish in this knife is very slippy and handle size forces you to grab it with fingerchoil.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Did some testing of the Ayoob 3.0's shallow SE pattern against a roll of carpeting. Happy to report that while the SE seems quite smooth, it still has a good bit of bite and cutting aggression, allowing the Ayoob to cut through sturdy home carpet with a single pull without any snagging. https://i.i...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Nice pic. Funny thing, my piece, has one screw slot blind on lefty side. Probably small layer of g10 left in hole, I don't care because I won't use that position for clip.

thanks for the comparisons. also, now i really want a talwar.
Have in mind that this one had few mods done by me - acid stonewash, custom disc, ricasso. But even stock Talwar is cool knife, almost same weight as C60.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Well, I accepted fact that I'll rather skip this one because lack of availability at local dealers in EU. That was attack from nowhere literally and 24 hours later here he is.

Chillout with other "tactical" Spydies.

On some facebook group, someone posted vintage PIG. Serrations looks like in new Ayoob. I saved picture, but don't remember from which group and who was autor.
