FFG Salt Endura with G-10 or even better Para2! Has this been mentioned? Sorry I got excited going back to page 1 to read up. I've read that FFG doesn't work well with the H1 but a boy can dream right? My pick, Para 2 compression+G-10+Salt=Great. Edit these always happen: I'm still on page 1 but a S...

The GB is a wishlist knife. I'm waiting for money or it to be discontinued. I'm not a liner lock fan, I prefer others but after watching non-knife people work back locks.... etc that's a non-issue, I'll take whatever they give me. Glad it's back in pocket for you. Its the best place any Spyderco cou...

I have a feeling the Zulu is going to drop a bit more by the end of the year so I might hold off. I'm seeing a few others that are in stock and worth considering, but none are disco'd so no rush. Jack I had bought my step dad a Tenacious for fathers day last year and was very tempted to keep it. Per...

I said save. Just look for something that calls out to you. Don't buy a knife just because you can, IMO. Nope not just because I can, but because I want :) Its been a while since I had the option due to work place shenanigans and this is likely my last set of purchases for a few months again. I've ...

ah snap! The Zulu is disco'd that doesn't change things because it's highly priced but adds to its status. My gut does say Tasman but being a production knife with no disco makes it just like the others, I can get it later. What I need is a 2k? budget for Spydies and I'll be sorted. I'm so torn betw...

I'm working my way through my Delicas. Currently I have 12, and I'm eagerly waiting on the Super Blue to drop. Today its a red franken Delica. I wanted a red, and wasn't about to dye my white sprint, so I got a trainer and raped it of it's scales. Thanks for not modding the while Delica, I'd love t...

Payroll called, lets spend it!

Alright :spyder: guys and gals. I thought I was getting a call to service (I work on call so when the phone rings I assume its work) but instead it was payroll. Now for most people a payroll call is very bad, but for me it was good. Short version I've been entering pay wrong and I missed a few hours...

Wow nice use of the Warrior, seems like it should work well in those roles even though it's not the "designed intent". Thanks for the mini review, shows its not a one trick pony.

I think you should retake some pictures for the calendar, the Warrior should have a month.

Yup I'm pretty sure you've more or less got my idea. I'm not trying to say don't have a knife for defense but the 'multi stab' is not what most are ready for. These videos (and many others) show that its not a single overhand stab followed by a thrust... its OMG they've got a f'n knife! :eek: Traini...

Reality of a knife attack *non graphic*

I have found some videos online in practice and it shows the idea of what an attack is. Think either attacking or defending but these are "true" attacks. Everyone has pictured the one stab or cut ending the confrontation but, really its not. I used to think "victim stabbed 57 times, 1...
