I have enough calluses built up on my thumbs, I can darn near light myself on fire and not notice it. Of course, I'm still a darned surgeon when a chunk of balsa needs a face-lift! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> The Man's Prayer- I am a man. But I can change...

My Dyad was probably the sharpest <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I've ever seen out of the box. Nice and thin, with excellent geometry.

I'll disagree with Jimmy_Dean on this one. I have a half-dozen knives in D2, and have never experienced the problems he mentions. It takes longer to sharpen, true, but it holds an edge infinitely better than 90% of the stuff out there. The Man's Prayer- I am a man. But I can change. If I have to. I ...

OK, the Scouts. It's a multipurpose organization- physical fitness, mental toughness, courtesy, self-reliance. We are the largest service organization in the US, and second in the world. Why a specialized knife? They really don't require one. However, it's a guaranteed market, and Scout knives are w...

From the looks, I'd rate the CS Spike similar to the CRKT Stiff Kiss. If that is true, the knife is nearly useless. I bought the Kiss thinking it'd make an interesting beater knife. Wrong. Can't hold an edge, can't cut well at all when it does, and the sheath is clunky at best. The Man's Prayer- I a...
