Wow... This thing is gonna be nuts! I've come to really appreciate FFG blades since getting into the Caly family. Selfish as this may be, I hope this keeps getting pushed back bit by bit by bit (hey, it happens once in a while ;) )... until I get my card paid off so I can buy one at the release :D *...

Jeff, compulsions can be so difficult to deal with; I'm talking from experience. I feel for you, bro', and if you need anything, just holler. I'll offer whatever help I can. Great to see you! Thanks a million, Jim! One of the hardest things I'm having to learn here is to depend on others for help. ...

My friend/boss had a similar thought when he first got his hands on mine. I think his comment was something along the lines of "This is just an over-glorified boxcutter." I let him borrow it for a few days and he found it to be incredibly useful for a whole slough of different chores, but ...

I have always thought that procrastination was symptomatic of low self esteem and self confidence...people in general do this because they are scared that the final results will not be satisfactory. Some accomplish this by not doing others by having so much to do that nothing gets done....For me I ...

Hi. Not a ghost. Just a broke guy.

Hello, alls, I know it’s been a while since dropping a line here, but I’m just gonna’ make a long story short. And you can thank and email notification from the forums about a Doctor, um... Snubnose (?) ;) for drawing my attention back here :D My debt has grown out of control. At one point it topped...

A friend in need of Prayer...

You've probably all heard by now about the big Southern California fires burning out of control. Personally I haven't been watching the news at all, but I got a call today telling me that a friend of mine from high school and her husband lost their apartment to the fire in Orange County. I know that...

I'm easy. I'd go for either blade with either edge (although serrated would be nice since we're in a bit of a SE dry spell :rolleyes :) . It would be neat to see the scales done in "Rescue blue" like the Rescue 93. That's a really neat color, and it would look good on a Meerkat :D Would it...

It only makes reasonable sense that there will hopefully be a fully and possibly partially serrated Superhawk once sales escalate to the satisfaction of the Great Spyder Factory. Then it is my sincere hope that the Great Spyder Factory will also take into account the fact that our economy is in the...

I, too, can agree with ClockWork on the matter of price, but I have to say that the gentler curvature is something that I had been hoping for after years of using hawkbill knives. A closer-to-flat angle at the tip of the blade actually makes pulling surface cuts more practical and less volatile. So ...

I don't often use abbreviating acronyms, but...

A normal person would look at the performance of the VG-10 endura, realize it's the best bang for the buck going, and get that. But if you were normal, you wouldn't be on a knife company forum website interacting with a bunch of Knife OCD nutcases. Really, all your friends are looking at porn like ...

Tony is spot-on about sharpening ZDP. I love it on my Caly Jr. (full flat grind) but on my old bluejeans Delica sharpening was a royal pain until I reprofiled it (which also took a long time). On that note, if you're getting a serrated Endura then DEFINITELY go with VG10. ZDP seems to be "chipp...

...Patience :)

It seems that the wait time for a new model is directly proportional to its level of coolness, so I'm guessing that we might be waiting a few more months for the Rock Lobster. I learned that lesson with the Lava :rolleyes:
