Re: Handle for MT1: A little help?

Another option is to just make a wrap handle with paracord or something similar until you have a chance to make scales. I recently wrapped a mt21. Haven't been able to use it yet but it feels good enough.

Re: Is there any good reason the Ouroboros is $167?

Sal, Thanks so much for the reply. I've been thinking a lot about this today. If I may, what other considerations follow the second? I know every case is different so there probably isn't a clear answer, but I'd be interested in any insights you can give. It seems important to me bc of the design po...

Re: Is there any good reason the Ouroboros is $167?

Sal, or anyone else, how does Spyderco choose which location for a particular model/design? For example, why would this one be made in Japan vs. golden, China, Taiwan, etc.? Obviously, if the design dictates Japanese steel, then Japan is the best bet, but what about other knives or designs that are ...

Re: Handle for MT1: A little help?

The hole sizes were changed after the mt1 and have remained the same since the mt2. Halpern's std hardware is made for the majority of the lineup and will not fit the mt1. They may offer a specialized set that will, but the standard set will not. There was a thread on BF I think that talked about th...

Re: 2016 Forum knife?

If you all will forgive me, it looks like something a baby left in his diaper. Not always a bad thing. Toxic green seems to be a pretty popular scale color. :p I like the 2015 forum knife color myself. I would put it in the burnt orange category. Colorful but subdued a little. Not everyone's prefer...

Re: Any news on Caribbean or new large LC200 Steel Knives?

Do you remember if it was tip up carry only? I'm really looking forward to this one but that's generally a deal-breaker for me.

Re: What do you think is Spyderco's FLAGSHIP model?

I think it has to be the Native series, or at least the Native 5. Several forum knives have been natives. The 40th anniversary model will be a native 5. There are more standard production variants than I can keep track of. Golden made, popular among "knife guys" and "average joes"...

Re: 2016 Forum Knife

There was a post a while back where tazkristi( I think) mentioned that work on the next forum knife won't start until they sell out of the current model.

Re: Unmarked Millie.

I recognize the knife, but it's not likely that QC would pass a knife that was unmarked. We did have a problem with internal in the late 90's and it took a while to get rid of the culprits. I think it would be difficult (read; expensive) for the sender to ship it from Australia, so I will try to do...

Re: Any interest in a "water cooler thread"?

I like the idea but I doubt it will stop the derailing. Worth a shot though so I'm in.
Also, can I get a military XL sprint with superblue, but the standoffs rattle, should I send it in. I'll post pics later because its a fake.
Just kidding.
