What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I knew you'd recognize the Kiwi, if you were watching. Welcome back.

I still need to do the Rasta color scheme on one of my Pacifics or Caribbeans. Maybe a coated blade swap, too.

Been with me all day. Working outside in the yard (great for weed whacker line) and taking the dog on an adventure and much more!

Hi Vivi---

I dry age my venison, ducks, pheasants and red meat, but have never done so with all the wild pork I've harvested. Does it really make a difference with pork?

Well, back to the Stretch XL SE again, as I knew it would be inevitable anyway.
For me currently the best "regular duty" EDC folder I am aware of.

.........

Embarrassed to say this - I never paid attention to the stretch xl but after seeing a lot of people saying how awesome they are I’m moving it up my list…looks super comfortable and even though I like all size knives the 3.5”+ blades are my favorite…now it’s #3 behind Pacific H2 SE and another Siren…that Autonomy is moving up as well

No need to be embarrased - the Stretch XL actually has not been around for very long yet, right?

I highly recommend getting one!

But, looking at your "list": The H2 / H1 Pac Salt SE is probably one of the very few models I´d recommend getting first, should you have no experience yet with H2 / H1 (I am assuming there will be not really a perceivable difference) in SE!! These teeth in the strong sabre hollow grind and that steel: Just "the" work-edge for me for harder tasks. Everyone who really uses folders should have one imo.

But then go Stretch XL lightweight straight away!! I´d recommend SE (the serration pattern is great imo), or it could also be a good choice for combo edge (which would also give you the a tad stronger PE tip (V grind, not chisel grind), and the tip IS very fine indeed on this model. Great and very useful for most regular knife tasks, but I feel one has to be a bit careful too with that tip when beating on the knife).

Thanks Salty! appreciate it!
Luck was indeed involved, so I'm happy it didn't end up worse than it did.

Days are slow atm and knife tasks are few and far apart, but a man's got to eat


Same knife just a couple of days before the accident

Hey "Aicolainen",

I never came around replying to you, after asking how you got your concussion... my apologies for that.

I too think you were "lucky while having bad luck", and am glad too that "it did not end up worse".
I hope you´re feeling better already (do you?) and can start to enjoy the outdoors again (you know I love the part of the world you live in, experienced it myself quite a bit when I was a younger man)

Back when we were talking about your concussion I was still on the island of La Palma and tried to make an "action shot" with my knife in hand for you too, like yours above.
Turned out really bad, but I´ll still post my Stretch 1, pictured while trail running (me, not the Stretch ) in the nice volcanoe sand

We have done plates, signs, and grills. I’m starting this week off with a new challenge, window sills ! All welcome to enjoy in and don’t get arrested! Dan

No worries, my friend!

I'm feeling much better! As my concussion improved and I slowly increased my activity level I've also discovered that my hip and back got a real good beating as well, and my reflexive and probably quite explosive response to counteract the fall seem to have "paid off" with some degree of hernia. All of that is quite trivial compared to a head injury, so I feel lucky to walk a way from this with just fixable problems :)

On Saturday I'm going on my first backpacking trip after the fall. Feels so good to be back in the saddle and making plans again!
