The Military Cruware "sprint" has been selling around 35% off MSRP. (All dealers get some to sell)

The Spyderco "exclusive" knives are the ones with prices closer or at MSRP. (One dealer/distributor gets the whole batch)

The ban I've read about is for man made trans fats and their wonky bonds, not natural trans fats like CLA.

Say Eastern time zone does not observe daylight savings but Central zone did, the two zones would be at the same time. E.g. Arizona is on the same time as California for half the year. As seen by our use of dayl...

The liver's job is to render toxins inert and shuttle them out to be expelled – usually in the urine via the kidney.

It is not a storage filter, you would accumulate till too toxic and then die.

Click on the catalog tab, when that page loads, along the top you will see the tabs being mentioned.

Application, Country of Origin, Blade Steel, Handle Material

I would like to see a tab for blade length, but the little big knives selection under application worked for what I want to see.

It is way too early to tell, as many units are still in transit and need to flip through several owners before long term safe queen stats can be correlated. An excess of 80% should easily show little degradation after 3-4 years on a safe shelf though.
