Spyderco Forums

Thanks YOG.BTW what are the other 2?(yes I'm a computer dummy*G*).
GlockDoc:Msg.recieved & answered.Thanks.

How does one E-mail another person in this forum?Is this possible?///GlockDoc: I'd like a word with you in particular:?need I post my addy on the Forum?Several Forumites have raised issues I'd like to discuss with them on a 1-to-1 basis;hence my question.

I was gunslinger in a New Age chatroom because I'm a gun nut*G*.After a devistating life-change a cyberfriend suggested I visualise this as a natural disaster(fire,flood,etc)& what would survive.I chose the lowly earthworm:the small wriggling one who never gives up;never quits wriggling until he...

Can't make it:going to a wedding,but will be there in spirit.SMKW is worth the trip:get some of their excellent fudge(I favor the chocholate with peanut butter!*G*).
shootist:?You wouldn't happen to have a Glock 19 @ a good price,would you?

50/50 Delcia or Endura.

Amen to those who've expressed concern for our right to carry a knife(anywhere;not just on airplanes)& to those who stick-up for the old Boy Scout motto.As I ask when teaching survival prepardness classes,"Give me a good reason NOT to keep a little food,etc on hand & learn basic skills?...

The plastic slipties for bundling wires work equally mwee;particularly for collectables you don't want opened period.

The Q! The Q!
& maybe the R;altho I never saw one.I'm not crazy about skeltonized blades,but I collected the Q's for my sons & was mightly impressed.BTW if anyone has a Jolly Roger Q they'd like to part with I'd be interested.

Well said gentlemen. This may be more of a folklore question,but some cultures/traditions say it's bad luck to gift a person a knife;that you should always get a token(say a penny)payment in return.I was taught that a knife was a "Warrior's Gift"-to be given to someone worthy of a blade(we...

As a'Freedom of Speech'person I deplore the banning of Hannibal on principle.However,he begged for it so...."Free speech does not equal filthy speech":good riddance.

?Didn't one version of the Gerber Mk1 fiked-blade come with the'40/30/30'edge we've talked about?Or was the base of the blade unsharpened?(Call this a trivia question*G*.)

48.Couldn't say how long I've carried a pocketknife,but it's been so long I don't think about it:I just do it.Started my sons collection when they were 7 or so(Q's)& somehow Santa usually leaves a knife in their sock*G*.Couldn't count the knives I've given as gifts;had to buy one friend 2 Delica...

FRN Delica lt.front.Merlin rt.front.3"Opnil & Case fillet in tackle box.Camillus Air Force or Buck 110 in field.Gerber folding saw on backpack.& a sackful of Victornix,Old Timer & whatever for trade,gifts or spares.I reserve Spydies as gifts for very special people*G*.

Wolfie: I think you stuck your finger into your nose & picked a winner with the 40/30/30 idea! I can see this as a 4"folder & a 4-6(?longer?)fixed blade.
Dav:Indeed add the bottle opener @ the bottom.Yes;I've been known to take a wee dram now & then-I favor single-malt*G*.

Dav:*VBG*The idea is not original to me so we can't call it the'Earthworm'.*LOL*
V-Wolfe:Dang!Do ya clank when ya walk?Or bath in mineral oil(which BTW is an excellent idea for knives used to cut food.Olive oil works well too.)?*VBLOL*

P.S.-While empployed by Wal-Mart I recommended & sold many a Gerber LST with the 50/50 edge & recommended Spyderco to many customers.If I didn't carry the Delica I'd say the Gerber LST with the 50/50 would be my choice of an EDC knife(in fact,it IS lighter & more compact than the Delica!).

I thought the 50/50 or Combo edge was a gimmick until I bought my first Delica;now I wonder how I got along without it.Please note that Gerber,Buck,Schrade,etc.are marketing combo blades-'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'.Camillias has a 2-blade folder:1 plain 1 serrated.It or the Dyrad m...

a P.S.to Yog:Thanks for the info. "Possession"vs"Carrying" can be tricky:the hammer & screwdriver I keep at home is cool & legal but could be considered"Possession of burglar tools" in my car.Here in the States a sword cane can be possessed,but if you carry it o...

Dav & Yog:Thank you for the compliments-nice to hear I've still got a few working brain cells*VBG*. Chinookaholic:Here's a thought-see if Spyderco has dealers in the UK,pay for the knives here & pick'em up over there.Assuming there are dealers & that the knives you want to present are im...

I sometimes carry a Merlin as a MBC knife to backup other weapons.I agree that a straight blade that will both cut & thrust is better,but as a weak-hand blade the intimidation value of a serrated hawkbill should not be dismissed.
