What grit or progression of grits? You can pick up a variety pack of 3M wet dry paper at your local Auto Zone for under $5. It should come with 220, 400, 800, & 1000 grits. I usually start out with 400 and work up to 1000 followed by a strop for the initial sharpening. Subsequent sharpening I u...

A big +1 on this. Sandpaper held to my kitchen table with some masking tape is the easiest and most cost effective way I've found to sharpen my scandi ground blades.

Nice. I'm glad they are cleaned off. Mine won't arrive until Thur , but it's my own fault for living so far away from Golden.

I just put an order in. I'm guessing they are still available.

This one...





It's a Case Sowbelly and is insanely sharp.

I own a Stevens 22-410 which later became the Savage model 24. Mine obviously is a .22 over .410. I used it squirrel hunting the other day. It's a great gun that my grandfather originally purchased in the early 1940's. It was re-blued a few years ago but otherwise is stock and in great shape for bei...

Can we get any shots of the sheath?

I've been carrying a Koster Bushcraft in CPM3V. Really like the steel and the scandi grind on it. Recently got a 2009 version of this knife but I have not had a chance to get out and use it yet. Here is a shot of my old one.

I've carried a Leatherman Supertool almost every day on my belt for the last 10+ years. Earlier this year I switched over to a Charge TTi. While the work I'm now doing doesn't require me to carry a multi-tool every day, out of habit I'll usually carry one anyways. You can't beat a nice multi-tool wh...

I figure I'll just keep spamming pictures of my Para until somebody at Spyderco gets tired of seeing them and makes me a CPM-M4 Para to shut me up :D Here is one from this morning's fishing... sadly the insanely big small mouths that I saw swim by me all day would not bite no matter what I threw out...

Just a little bump for some more Para love. Went with me on an over-nighter with my oldest boy. What a great outdoor folder. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee262/GMArthur/Spyderco/Para_camping_a.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee262/GMArthur/Spyderco/Para_camping_b.jpg ... and one of me a...

.... Hopefully Sal will have enough M4 stock left over to do a Para run ;) This would be marketing suicide. If this knife was made what reason would there be to buy any other knives in the future? I would buy two or three of them. Then sell all my other knives to people who were unaware of the M4 P...

Thanks for the chance. I'll take 1501.

I would think that the $100+ folder should be able to handle the "fondling" just fine. It's the $5 gas station knives you have to worry about.

Well at least it FFG. You really should have drilled a spyder hole in the blade and etched the SAL logo with a sharpie.

Found these pictures. Knives are looking good so far. Now we just need some sheath shots. :)

I was doing some searching and couldn't come up with anything so I just decided to come right out and ask. Has Spyderco ever mentioned or has anyone constructed a homemade stropping rod for the sharpmaker. I was kicking around the idea of making my own set and was hoping to build on the experiences ...

I'm sorry, at this point, I don't have an ETA on it at all. I wish I could give you an idea, but I can't.

No problem Kristi. Thanks. I'll just be sitting at home waiting impatiently :D

Just a tiny bump :) I'm in need of a new outdoor fixed blade this year and just wondering what the status is on the Spyderco Bushcraft Knife. I was pleasantly surprised to see it in my new catalog and now I'm pretty excited. Any new word on this? I know the spyder folks don't like to give solid date...

I feel your pain. I just got my Cabela's Fly Fishing catalog a couple of weeks ago and I read through it almost every night at work. I content myself with tying some flies in preparation for this year but I'm itching to be fishing. I still consider myself a novice at fly fishing but love to do it. T...
