Does anyone have a list of articles featuring the gunting? I have the TK article by Mike Janich and the Shotgun news article by Mas Ayoob.

I believe there is a short mention in a Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement. (not sure of the issue, but looking)...

Ok Mas has done it..Working with Poppa Spyder, hes come up with a very slim, neat package that allows for controlled slicing, point entry and very nasty reverse grip usage...

Trust Mas who loves firearms to come up with a pistol oriented knife...

Its...

What is the reasoning behind using rivets on the Chinook & Wegner vs assembly screws as are on the Military & Gunting? Why were rivets chosen and assembly screws chosen on these models?

Which knife do you recomend more for every day carry?

Sal,

What about using damasteel for spyderco. It look nice to me but frankly i don't know the advantage and disadvantage of this steel. Perhap you can expalain abit about it. Still remember the evolution edition of C01 in damacus.

thanks a lot.

What a great knife.

After trying the Landybug (needed a small knife for the keyring), I was so impressed I decided to try the Military.

The grip seems molded for my hand alone, absolutly no hint of play in the blade or lock, and a blade that would be...

I found in my collection a Spyderco all Stainless plain blade knife. It appears to be a Delica II but the box it is in says CX04P Expermintal 4 6/97. I assume that was the knife of the month for June of 1997?

If anyone has any information on this knife I...

Congrats Sal, on hosting this excellent site! We'll treasure your wise words on your 900th post!! *heh-heh!*

have spydies will travel

If you assess the Chinook, Gunting, and Ayoob for their overall weight difference; you'll have a nice spectrum of heavy, medium, and light weight MBC blades. Granted that each knife has characteristics that help to detemine it's style of use, but I was...

The only things that are really new are Tomorrow, babies and a few ideas.

Babies come from Moms.

Please take some time this day to appreciate the Mothers in your lives, and if possible, let them know.

Seems our Supreme Court has a common sense problem....basically they have none!

Scalia, Rhenquist & Thomas continue to prove the old adage that common sense is lost on those in power..

I mean who needs the Fourth Amendment?

Why worry about the First?...

i've heard that the spyderench is being redesigned or retooled or somethign of the like. i was wondering if there is a 2nd gen in the works for it, possibly a needle nosed version, or if the current model is the plan for the near future.

Hey buddy, just 1 question, do you have a website by any chance?, Im just curious.

Many thanx

I just got my CF Civilian today, and have been contemplating its grandeur -- both in workmanship and materials.

It is unfortunate that the implementation of highest-tech materials in optimal forms exceeds the realistic price point limits for regular...

Hi,

I just purchased an '98 Endura Lightweight plain edge. I am very happy with this knife except one point, when opening, the action seems quite rough from about half way onwards. It feels like the back edge of the blade where the locking lever rides on...

A knowledgable knife lover I know told me that White Lightning is just an elaborate form of thinner. Is this true?

I need the blade thickness, 5/32 or 1/8 ?

Made in USA, Japan, Taiwan?

Thank You
