Ha, I saw that knife and knew it was right up your alley!

Lots of really cool stuff in there. Looks like Magnacut has fully arrived in Spyderco land. Military 2 several new variants that look nice. Bodacious looks great! Nice Reveal!

Happy birthday one day late!

I pulled out my favorite pair of socks for the occasion!

Unlike knives, where I love all the variety and almost never carry the same knife everyday, this is my only pen.

Machine Era Classic (or Original) in Brass. Awesome, and super durable. No moving parts. Unobtrusive in the pocket.

I got an email yesterday from Rob at National Knives. He said he lowered the price for the Watu to below the (already low) price I paid for it. So he issued a store credit to me for the difference. That's good CS if you ask me. When I looked up the Watu it was still showing as out of stock. I asked...

Happy Birthday!

Endura ZDP-189 for $99 https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-ENDURA-Green--6646 Positron for $145 https://www.hand-tools.com/product-detail.php?prodnum=SPC195CFP I just ordered the Positron, thanks! I've read some concerning reviews about that dealer online. Has anyone purchased from them in the p...

Indiana Knives also has a few Spydies on sale. Similar prices to what's available at the other dealers.

Ex:
SpyOpera Damasteel & CF Sprint also for $284
Stretch 2 XL Cruwear/G10 for $200

Pac Salt 1 in SE H1. Why? I originally bought a Salt 2 SE in LC200N for this purpose. But for the use case, longer is better. My use case is defense against loose dogs (or other wildlife), which to be fair has never been an issue even once in over 25 years of competitive running. But I do like havin...

I have finally purchased a S2XL in Cruwear. What a knife! I've held off on this one for awhile because this is well outside of my comfort range price wise, and so I saved up to grab it. It helped that National Knives (one of my top few favorite dealers) was offering it on sale, and so I jumped on it...

I requested this book for Father's Day from my wife, and she placed the order about 3 tenths of a second later (she's the best!). Glad to get it (hardback for me), but I gotta be honest, waiting is going to be tough.

Happy Birthday Dan! Apologies that it's late, but better late than never!

I lastly wanted to post a few more detailed pictures of the lockbar cutout styles on each knife Hey endura3, really appreciate the detailed pictures of the lockbar to tang interface on the different models. It's super interesting to me the implementation differences between each of the different ma...

Fantastic post! Loved the analysis and pictures. One thing I notice is the different shapes of the cutout in the blade tang where the lockbar interfaces. The Native 5 is unique in that it's U shaped instead of a rectangular cutout on all the other models, regardless of origin (at least of the ones y...

Awesome post, and I really enjoyed the photos.
I'm a bourbon fan, but have not made the trip down to Kentucky. Definitely on my to do list.
I'm a big fan of some of the Maker's Mark private selection with the unique stave profile. Good stuff.

Picked up this used Pacific Salt on a whim last week. Cleaned it, sharpened it, dyed it "grey" which is nearly black, and played with rounding the spine. Will continue to play with mods on this one. Definitely enjoy carrying a corrosion proof and very tough model that already has taken som...

Indiana Knives still shows in stock to me. Not sure if that's a website/stock artifact or is real.
If real, I left it for someone else. I've got plenty of PM2s, and the Manix is good for me to test out 15V.

Edit: gone now
