Re: Has anyone else noticed what an awesome forum we have?

Thanks for sharing that, it's inspirational. Seems too rare these days, especially on internet forums. Thanks for letting me hang out here guys, I'm still a new guy but I think I'll be here awhile.

Re: 2017 Calendar Contest 14th place prize.

That's a heckuva nice thing to do, I thought there were a ton of great photos. I like the idea of a "best loser". They should run that photo on the back of the calendar - the one that's always facing the wall (come to think of it...the cover shot is always facing the wall too).

Re: 2017 Forum Calendar Contest - WINNERS

Congrats to all the winners! Huge thanks to the crew at Spyderco for doing this. This is the first time I've ever taken a photo and shared it with the internet outside of trying to photograph something I'm selling. You've encouraged me to do something creative for the joy of it, and that is awesome ...

Re: MT24P - Mule Team Fixed Blade with Maxamet

I'm excited to test this out. Now I just need to decide what I'm going to make the scales out of...can't wait.

Re: BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

Decided to check the mail at 10pm, wish I would've checked earlier. Looks right at home with one of my edc knives in natural g10. I'd really like a texture somewhere between the stock one and the smooth custom scales. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/MadmanR1/Mobile%20Uploads/20160716_235954_...

Re: My name is Cogito, and I am a Spyderholic.

Welcome Cogito! Similar thing happened to me this year. Next thing I knew I had 30 new Spyderco I was figuring out a way to stack in the safe. I've sold about half of those as I've narrowed my focus a bit.

My edc is a PM2...modded a bit because I tend to do that to everything.

Has anyone else had trouble with the "email me" feature at BH? I've had things in stock with no email before. I watch spam/junk folders as well.

Re: How the **** did this happen? (PM2 appreciation)

It's the knife that made me a devoted spyderco fan. I don't understand how it happened, but it was much as you described and it just pushed other (often more expensive) knives out of my pocket. My friends were shocked to see the brand in my pocket at all. They were more shocked when I started sellin...

Re: Appropriate Gift for child: Spyderco?

I gave my kids, a girl and a boy, their first production knives at 7 and 8. They had cheap souvenir knives already at that age. My only concern was them misplacing them, and that dictated the cost.
