Congrats Rex on the trip to Spain and the Gunting. You will never regret your Gunting purchase. Suggest a Mike Sastre "inside the pocket" sheath. Check his River City Sheath website but call don't email. IMO, the pocket sheath is better than a belt sheath for the Gunting because it doesn't...

Hello, Strongly recommend the Gunting as an all purpose knife. It will do anything you ask it to do. I regret to see the Gunting placed exclusively in the martial arts category as occurs occasionally because it has so many other uses outside the martial arts arena. I have had mine for more than a ye...

Big-Target,
Outside of Philly, so I get there fairly often. I always enjoy my shopping there.

Big-Target. Glad you made it to Country Knives in Lancaster. They have a tremendous selection of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, are very knowledgable, and are willing to take time with you. I was having problems with my Gunting and Brian worked on it on tw...

I am a loyal and avid Spyderco user and collector. I have purchased from Spyderco in the past via its internet service and have been very satisfied with its service. Recently, I have been very disappointed. In place of the 16 knife carrier I ordered, I was sent a butcher knife carrier. I called and ...

Jeff/1911, Thanks for starting this post. I have been looking for over a year for the "old" Catcherman and in reading the post find that John Jensen has the old ones w/ plain blade(little serrations at handle end part of blade). I just ordered 2 -1 for me and 1 for my wife from John. I agr...

I have had the Salsa(SE) since they first came out for us ordinary folks. It's an alternate EDC and has been since last winter when I bought it from NewGrahmKnives.My other knife when I carry the Salsa is a blue Chinese Lum(PE). They make a nice pair and I have a PE and a SE depending on the job con...

Jyork, That is an impressive display case for your collection. Just curious, where did you get the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> plate? Thanks for taking the time to post the 2 images and sharing with the Forum. "Imagination is more important than kno...

Blade and American Rifleman (NRA). Also 4 wheeling mags sometimes. Really liked the ad with the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> in the trees. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entir...

Ryan, I am really sorry to see you leave Spyderco. I have always enjoyed your posts and the way they attracted replies. You are a good man and will do well in your future endeavors. Remember, the Lord closes doors but later opens others. You are very courageous in sharing your your experience with y...

Don't forget Patti. She's great. Several days ago, she helped me track down an order. It had moments before been delivered to my front door by UPS. Did make the suggestion that <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> announce that it uses UPS as the standard ground ...

Sorry. See above.

difcat, I've got both. If I had to choose one, it would be the Caalypso Jr. without a doubt. The gold <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> emblem on the the clip is sheer elegance. My Delica, as some one else said, is my beater knife. (Used to use a Buck for that...

Liko, I had that problem also with my Gunting. Before I realized it was happening, I cut the inside pockets of two jeans. It needs adjustment. I took mine to Country Knives in Lancaster County, PA twice for adjustment. It has been working very well since the second time Brian tuned it. BTW, Mike at ...

Nice review. Glad to see you also mentioned the utility applications. Have you called Mike Sastre at River City Sheaths for his innovative inside the pocket sheath invented just for the Gunting, made of Concealex. I've been using the sheath for close to a month now and am very pleased with it. Mike'...

liko, Your thread malfunctioned,ie. no right margin stop. Thought I would start a new one. You'll like the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Gunting. I've had one for several months and have used it a lot around the house and outside. BTW, it sharpens up easil...

Yog, Try tightening the allen (wrench) screw a little. The increased tension will prevent what you are experiencing. Didn't particularly like the looks of the Chinese folder but finally bought one because of the comments on the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0...

ThinkOfTheChildren, You mentioned in your review that you had a Gunting. How do you compare the Lil'Temperance with the Gunting.Interested in your perspective as a every day carry, heavy duty utility knife. If you like the Gunting, would you like the Lil' Temperance? Thanks for your opinion. "I...

This may appear too basic in light of the previous replies, but I never let the tip slide across the stone. If I am using a stone at an angle, I may not quite get to the tip but when you are using the flat side it is very easy to stop the stroke with the tip still on the stone. Hope this helps. Good...
