Spyderco Forums

Just FYI,avoid the Wenger SAK camos. They bead-blast the blades *after* they've been sharpened. Dulls the edges and makes them a bear to sharpen properly. Also makes the wood saws kinda dull. Haven't figured out what to do w/them. Shame too,since SMKW had the camo models dirt cheap.

Ayoob: nice knife,but I don't like the almite handles. I've got 4,3 w/the black almite and 1 w/the blue-grey. The black ones are very smooth;they're like holding an SS model. The blue-grey is grippier,but the coating will wear off quickly. I carried it once and put a scuff on the edge of the handle....

Don't know about the Harpy,but I'd like to see a glow-in-the-dark Endura,Delica,and Rescue. I just picked up a Victorinox 'Stay Glow' Climber off eBay. It rocks. Really bright neon yellow handle that glows for almost an hour. A Spydie w/this handle would be great for the outdoors. You wouldn't lose ...

"Yeah, strap this on your 'sore ***', Blain." ;-) "...I think a lot about this kind of stuff. I do my best thinking on the bus. That's how come I don't drive, see?" "You don't even know how to drive." "I don't wanna know how. I don't wanna learn. See? The more you ...

I keep an FB Temperance,a 5D Maglight,and a super-bright blue LED light by my bed. Used to keep a Vaquero Grande by the bed,but didn't want to mess w/opening a folder.

There already is:

Sweet. Nice work.

I'd also say get both. The 3D makes a great EDC,while the Chinook is one of the strongest folders out there.

Dyna for my bikes,last 2 have been Harley Dynaglides. I use a small 'd' and a 'y' in rider in honor of an old buddy from Usenet,ye wylde ryder.

Since you're in fresh water,you might want to consider the Snap-it or Remote Release. There was a Snap-it model w/a sheepsfoot blade.

Maybe my eyesight is going,but that looks like 'Cold Steel' on the blade.

Maybe he's confused because it says 'Seki City'?

I'd like another run of G-10 Police,but I'd love to see an FRN version. My unlined G-10 is my fav due to it's light weight and thinness.

Found the Talons:

They've got the G-10's for $53.

W00t! I must be living right. Been looking for a grey Matriarch forever and found 2 on eBay yesterday. Put in a $90 on the one last night,and in the last 30sec had it snaked out from under me by spyderho(my old nemesis heidi_smilz). So then today I wake up early,checked my bid on the second one,and ...

Nope,no prob there. My frig is covered w/NewGraham magnets,I know the real names of most of the big dealers on eBay,and I'm running out of cabinet space.

Happy B-day.

You're the same age as my first motorcycle jacket.

Now I feel old. :-(

Saw an SS Endura in both the movie Anarchist's Cookbook and an ep of Law & Order. Cop had the knife in AC,bad guy had it in L&O.

'Nam was completely FUBAR'd because the politicians ran the war. We never should've stopped bombing the North,and we should've crossed the other borders to hit the insurgents. While things could be better in the AOR right now,at least we're taking the fight to the bad guys. Our biggest prob right no...

Nice. Anyone hear anything about the new run of Spurs?
