Man this really stinks.

It has been snowing here (in Ohio) since last night. Non-Stop. It really just needs to go away. For the last two weeks it has been 70-80 degrees outside and sunny. In just 2 days it is down to 29 degrees and cold and snowing....

Does anyone know a good fixed blade trainer, with a small (3 inches or so) length? Metal blade. Or should I just grind down something?

There are reasons to hold off on spydies sometimes.

I know many people have their “safe queens”, those knives that are bought more or less for the purpose of collecting, or the ones that have become so rare that you don’t dare using them in an effort to preserve them. Something along the lines of a 25th...

Remeber when Dennis said i photoshopped That Para-Military Picture.

I made this up to show my nice Photoshop skills

In general I do not like most of their models but I do really like the griptillans.
I just got a OD D2 mini grip and a 550RT PE stonewashed.
I wish I could find out how many of the 550RT PE stone washed grips they made.It seems to be a very...

I wanted to know if all Police officers are allowed to carry automatic knives.

Is it just because you are a police officer you can carry one. or are there some restrictions.

Hello,

I just wanted to apologize for being a real mean jerk lately.

I'm not looking for special treatment. I'm not looking for you to take me back.

I simply wanted all of you to know that you didn't deserve to be treated like I have treated you. I...

I have run into a cleaning and maintenance problem with a Spyder that I have not encountered before. I have a C-46 Bob Lum Tanto folder which has the black coated blade. I am not sure what the coating is on this particular blade but I am sure some of you...

Good day, all.

I have just traded for a Spyderco knife featuring CPM-440V steel in its blade, but I really have no basis for comparison with other steels that I am better acquainted with. How does it stack up against VG-10 or CPM-S30V in hardness, edge...

During Spyder Areobics this morning I ripped a plastic bag while taking a knife out of the box. ****, what next? :mad:

I'm wondering if Amanda will throw a few extra bags my way to keep this puppy happy.

I should have went with my instincts and bought...

Yeah!! Where is Jimmy Dean. It almost seems spooky without him. I really enjoy doing point/counterpoint discussions with the good brother. I hope he is all right. Does anyone know? Also I thought that the lady Simona was supposed to be back. I seen her do...

Hello. I hope I put this thread in the right place. I just wanted to say hello. Don't have a Spyderco yet but I have been reading as a guest and have taken in a lot of information. I have a Scorpius with SpyderEdge on the way as my first knife from...

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how the two compared. My only experience with AUS-6 is in a CRKT and somehow I am guessing that is different than :spyder: 's AUS-6.

Thank you moderators for the ignore list. It is a blessing in these trying times. Thanks also to the forumites who do not give the trolls what they want. I hope they will leave if ignored. It is more fun in here without them. I have enough unnecessary...

I am in the process of desiging my own fixed blades. I have several sketched out, and have began to build a model of some so i have a more 3D perspective of them. I dont know how to forge, or know anyone who can so i have been carving them out of wood....

Hello,

I'm a new member here and I just wanted to say hi. I like this place. Been lurking for a while and decided to sign up.

Thanks for such a nice place to hang out and chat about knives.

Don't have any knives really other than a swiss army knife....

Over the past couple weeks I have been checking out a couple other forums. This was spurred on by there being less traffic on this forum. Probably because warm weather tends to give us better things to do than sit in front of a PC.

Anyway, one...

I got distracted at the wrong moment and the (very sharp) ATRss SE took the corner tip of my finger off today. After a quick trip to the ER they stopped the bleeding put a nice gel pad dressing and I was back to work to finish what i started..This time I...

I don't know if I am just getting grumpy as time goes on but I do talk to folks that agree with me about the newest and most dangerous drug abuse of them all. I am speaking of CELL PHONE addiction. It seems to me like hardly no woman and very few men can...

did anyone ever notice that when someone deletes a thread that you've posted in, your post count is lowered?

If one were looking for a good place to pawn a few :spyder: .....what would be the top say 3 sites to post at?

I already know about BF, but that can't be the only place.

Thanks,
FoM

Last week, Martin Sheen visited our prison.

Today, Bernard Hopkins (World Middleweight Boxing Champion) visited the prison. He's a former inmate. Much ado and fanfare took place, with at least three major T.V. stations along for the ride, and every...

Good day, all.

Whilst I am normally not inclined to quote Tom Petty (for numerous reasons), I have done so here in the thread title as it sums up my feelings relative to the newest offerings from Spyderco quite remarkably.

I anxiously await the...

After reading some of Thom's posts, it occurred to me that I just had to get the diamond rods for my Sharpmaker. Done. Now something to use them on...

The automatic translation from Japanese to English seem to leave a bit to be desired on this webpage's report of a meeting you had:

Funny some of the things you find when you do internet searches ;)
