you could use cleaner for vitroceramic cooking plates. These are designed to get backed on crud off the glass and not damage it. They are great for polishing steel, but i have no idea if it will work on titanium.

Hey guys, loosen up, ok? Sal opened the door for another forum knife. Those who like it, or dislike it but wan't one are plenty. Does who don't, well don't buy it then. It's simple question with a yes or a no. No need to argue over a piece of metal and plastic, ok? :rolleyes: This might seem disresp...

The point is that 90% of the population does not see a knife as a valiable self defense tool. Those 10% that do, have limited knowledge about the practical use of a knife. The people that know how to use a blade each have their own style. The Civi, Matriarch and the Spyderhawk are all very usefull S...

Scott can you PM me on that adress you got? Steels aren't my primary concern on buying a knife ( as long if it's not 440 A or "made in pakistan"), just wan't a gunting.

Thx

Some very early models have production # on them. The :spyder: collectors club has only 200 members. NGK has 4 or 5 # pieces, and if you are lucky or ask WAY in advance you might score a SCC knife

I would buy it. I have a blue PE spyderhawk, that isn't even a real forum knife! I buy them anyway, just because they used to be forumknives and i just imagine the writting on the blade :p I find it rather strange that people say no to a new forum knife. Sal is no fool, and the limited forum runs he...

I am a hawkbill lover myself, and this post was to tease the hawkbill lovers. They are indeed great defense tools especially in FMA style ;) . And they can stab as good as any knife. But running away is still a beter option then standing your ground when not absolutely necessary. if you enter in a k...

Great knife, count me in for two, but please please enlarge the hole, i like to slide the knife beyond the second knuckle where it can dangle freely, so i still have dexterity in my fingers. remember that the ring is ment to keep the knife on the finger. This way you can still use my hand for grabbi...

Are Hawkbill blades for runaways?

Hawkbill blades can only cut in one direction, in the drawstroke, AND you can't really stab with them so hawkbill lovers must be scary little runaways! :mad: This is of course a post geared toward the hawkbill lovers among us (me included) just to get their bloodpressure pumping, and to have some fun!

an important fact is that you have to put the object in a basket so no parts touch the bottom of the Cleaner! This will indeed chip away on the contact points. A plastic basket with a knife in will work fine

My idea too, neck sheath, and belt sheath, and a tumb push like the ronin. I can't wait till they hit the market, i like my spot , but it seems i am going to love the swick even more!

Especially as a Forum Model! ;)

Jipiiiiiieeeeee

SAL, perfect idea, the combination (for me) of two knives in one! I was planning on buying a swick , and if :spyder: could spice it up as a forum model it would be fantastic. And then i can buy two, one for carry (non forum) and one for collecting. :D :D I really hope this goes thru. ps i hope you d...
