Re: [Legal concern] Please use blade lengths like 2.45" / 2.95" / 3.45" instead of 2.5" / 3" / 3.5"

The great thing with Spydercos is there is so many blade lengths. Old school rule of better to be safe than sorry 3" law carry a 2.5" 2.5" law carry a 2" Last thing a busy law enforcement officer would enjoy is someone with a knife protesting over 1/20 of a inch ;) Last last thin...

Aussie brand made out of Kangaroo leather. Last pair I had lasted 23 years with a few resoles.
Great deal if buying in US $

Worth the money.

Re: EU Vacuum Cleaner Ban: Smart, Ridiculous, or what?

Think it's to do with the cheap Chinese vacuums, power tools, generators , and whatever has flooded the cheap market. Do a lot of camping and in days gone past it was rare to see one generator at a camp site. Nowdays you can buy them as cheap as chips and everyone has one. The cheaper ones are twice...

Re: Spyderco Blade Centering and Trying to Be Zen About It

As above have had centered knives drift and had non centered knives come good after use. At the Spyderco price point I don't notice or worry. ( but at the CRK prices I would be a bit more annoyed but luckily have never had to worry ) Buy a fixed blade if you want to never worry about centering again.

Re: Para 3 and CQI

Love the size compared to the 2, Don't know why the clip is a issue for people when you can move it to the other end and have no lanyard hole in the way. It's asking to change something that already has a solution. (Several as its 4 way carry) Don't get me started on lanyards on folders..............
