Re: Just pulled the plug on a C177GP Roc

I got to handle one at the SFO a few months ago. It was actually not as much of a pocket hog as I expected, and I liked the ergos and balance of it in hand. I plan to get one eventually.

Re: Positron or Techno? Which to get... First.

Both are good. I've actually been carrying a Positron every day for the last couple weeks, but I'd go for the Techno first.

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2016 Report of Spyderco Prototypes

I don't know... at first look, the TAC 1 just looks like a Kershaw Volt with a Spydie hole to me. I'm sure it's a nice knife, but doesn't stand out as particularly exciting to me.

Re: Why no more jimping on the Cat?

I have two Cats, neither have jimping. I'm not sure why Spyderco made the change, but I don't mind the lack of jimping on the Cat. It seems plenty secure in the hand for a small folder, and sometimes a smooth thumb ramp is a good option to have. Before getting into Spydercos, I actually used to hate...

Re: Amsterdam Meet 2016 Report of Spyderco Prototypes

Wasn't it said last year that the Lil Lum Chinese was going to be fitted with a smaller clip? It does look a bit too big.

Re: My Complete Collection - One a Day

Looks real good Gino, especially the lamination line, how does the other side look? I've received 3 so far with one perfect the other two are a little off but not bad. Still amazed at how sharp these HAP's are out of the box. The lamination line is good. The other side has slightly more variation, ...

Re: My Complete Collection - One a Day

Thanks for the comments. One more to add today. The HAP40 Dragonfly arrived today! This one is nice and solid, and came scary sharp. :eek: I really like the burnt orange color on these!

Re: My Complete Collection - One a Day

Now that you mention it, I see what you mean about the scale potentially getting in the way when opening. But, I never really noticed it before.

I continue to be impressed by the lock fit on my Battlestation. Excellent work.

Positron arrived today - First impressions...

After about 2 months on backorder, my Positron finally arrived today! Over the last couple months, I've had plenty of time to wonder whether I would actually like this knife. Particularly the sharp looking point on the back of the handle, and the handle ergonomics in general. I also wondered if it m...

Re: Schempp Bowie Mini Review and Opinions

I've had my Schempp Bowie for just over a year, and I'm still enjoying it very much. It still sees regular pocket time (I actually carried it about 3 days this past week). I really like how the patina on the bolsters changes almost daily. I actually find that this knife carries very small in the poc...

Re: My Complete Collection - One a Day

Just got this Battlestation today from Amazon for a very good price. The fit and finish of this one is excellent. It's heavier than I was expecting, but seems very solid and well built.
