Notice the little hole on that acorn. Invasive species that have destroyed tons of trees on the east coast. Pop the acorn open and you’ll find a worm in there. Really grinds my gears.

Re: M4 jade Military exclusive!!

I also purchased one on eBay last night. $150 make an offer. Nice! I paid~$170 and was happy at that rate. $150 is **** near regular Millie prices! I might’ve had the drink in me.

Re: Spyderco Factory Outlet Seconds Sale 2017

Amazing hauls. I can’t believe some of the deals! I’m definitely planning a trip next year (live near DC). So you wait in line for days straight? And then once you get inside, do you get a certain amount of time before they kick you out? Only the craziest people get there that early (36 hours early...

At the end of the day, is S30V better than VG-10? (I’ve got both, and plenty of exotic steel, and VG-10 always does me right).

Re: Who would be in for a Cruwear/Carbon Fiber Millie?

I’m waiting for a Millie sprint to be my first Millie (have a PM2 and P3). I’d prefer not to have CF because of price and I like putting the Putman scales on lately. But yes, I’m in!!!

My wife loves the purple Ladybug I got her. She has no interest in knives otherwise, so I’m just happy the bug made her happy

No way, you need the Aqua Salt first! I'm also in the market for a Tasman Salt 2, but the Aqua Salt rocks.

Re: Funny Aqua Salt story

I really do love the Aqua Salt. And the coating is tough for sure, but everything gets worn if you use it right!

The Aqua Salt is so light because of the FRN, but it's just as durable as any Esee I've used (and I'm a huge Esee fan).

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

I got her a purple LadyBug and that went over well. Otherwise she says 'no more knives'. Except she loves the Spydie kitchen knives. It's funny - kitchen knives are great, all other knives are toys for boys, it seems.
