Bradley 2 just arrived yesterday, puttin her to work on smoothie prep to start the morning right...

The elephant in the room: do Sal and Eric kick it at Dampkring when in the area????

I'm with ya Holland, the Mantra has been in hand or pocket since it arrived a couple weeks ago, love this knife.

GB2 on its way!

These two today:

Usually 2, unless you count my sharpened canines, plus squarehead on keyring. Air is always in the watch pocket, and something bigger in RFP or IWB. just kidding re: sharpened teeth tho, that might catch a stake through the heart out here!

- hoimin: I sure do! I think my Positron is slightly faster on the flip, but mini-Southard makes up for it with its buttery silkiness. Good detents on both though.
- Thanks Darby!

Thanks farnorthdan. Yeah, I would definitely recommend fondling one first - it definitely is a lot smaller in hand than I guesstimated, which is a plus for me, but could easily be a minus for some.

- Abbazabba: I bought this used, and the previous owner had already opened that up a lil bit. I furthered the process a lil bit, and lock access is much better. - hoimin: thanks man, I used a dremel to remove most of the material, then finished w/ hand sanding, 80-2000 grit. - Holland, SpyderNut, Ev...

Got a Positron a couple weeks ago, and immediately wanted to smooth out the abrupt angles on the scales. Rounded off scale edges and blade spine, clip gone, now this thing feels amazing in hand.

+1 more for BF exchange - just bought the bullet a couple weeks ago and went gold - sold 6 folders, mostly spydies, within a day. Everything went smoothly. My only warning is that it's so easy it can readily usher in a new level of knife madness. Now that I've realized how feasible/painless the 'cat...

So excited about the prospects of a new Chap! Thought I remembered spying on a forum thread here or on bf, with Sal discussing organic scale options for this next one, which I'm still hoping is still in the works! A gentleman slicer like the Chap is just crying for an organic scale option imho. CF C...

Definitely can't neglect the ocd flicky flicky! Although my wife would beg to differ.

Yup, similar experience. My mantra came a few days ago, feelin smooth except when the blade came into contact w/ the detent ball, and the chalkiness would kick in. A lil nano oil on the detent ball, plus some good ole ocd flicky flicky, and she's smooth as silk now.

Mantra on the way!

Hey MM, I just sold a bunch of knives, mostly Spydies on bladeforums. First time actually thinning out the collection, felt good. 2 of the 6 buyers turned out to be local (one only 6 blocks away from me!) and now I have some new knife buddies too. plus loot for a new mantra and some lift tickets, so...

beatup oyster perpetual w/ modded techno:

To piggyback on dplafoil's hybrid, how bout a Techno/Positron/Hap40Delica hybrid - contoured CF plus Ti for the lockside, flipper, w/ HAP40 blade steel. Boom.

Thanks for the comp pics spyderg! Thats all it took to convince me - pullin out wallet and settin the tractor beam for this one now!

my thoughts exactly! The other dude had a proper rig,hope he uploads soon! pretty torturous trying to glean details from the vertical iphone 2.1 footage!
