Well...I made a blade swap....just not exactly what you suggested. :DPeaceInOurTime wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 9:11 pmChuck James wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:59 pmI'm sure FRN has a place and understand the whole anti corrosion thing, it just doesn't hold up well for me. I've been using this native 5 salt for about three months and it is missing some chunks of FRN as well as having a hair line crack. I find the handle also has to much flex as I'm using it. The LC200n has been great!!!PeaceInOurTime wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 7:57 pmChuck James wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 6:13 pmUsed my Native 5 Salt to trim out the corners of a vinyl patio door frame before putting a new insulated glass unit back in it.
The LC200N blade has been awesome, wish I could say the same for the cheap plastic handle....Live and Learn. LOL!!!
Nice!
Not a fan of FRN?
The G10 with steel liners doesn't give me these problems. Just my experience.
Gotcha, I've not had those experiences (yet :o ) but that's not the first time I've heard report of those issues. Have you considered doing a blade swap with a linerless G10 handle? That might get you what you want. I don't have direct experience with swapping Native blades but I'd imagine it would work.
Someone on the forum recently mentioned the idea of swapping a LC200N blade into a titanium handle. That's a bit expensive for me, but I'd love to see it :) .

It’s even more fun when you let them soak up some rum or vodka

Just put em in a bowl, fill the bowl to just the top of whatever gummies are in the bowl, cover and put em in the fridge till they have absorbed it all.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 9:46 pmMmm that's a good ideaprndltech wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 9:05 pmIt’s even more fun when you let them soak up some rum or vodkaSpydergirl88 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 2:17 pm[img]https://i.ibb.co/pbcrHkH/20210718-145858.jpg[/img

Good to see you posting again, Bloke! The forum's not been the same without you.

Thank you! The dye has worn nicely since I dyed it over a year ago!
Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
that is a beautiful dye job!
Yes!
I did that today too. Had a pile maybe eight feet long and up to my waist ( I'm 6'1") when I was done, and now the path is clear for all to ride and enjoy :)

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
I deadheaded some Black Eyed Susans with my PM 2/52100 to plant some of the seeds.
I was really surprised when I cut the stems. There was a very sticky sap that got on the blade and my fingers. It’s sticky like pine sap and even has a faint odor like it. Neither plain water nor Dawn detergent would dissolve it so I used Breakfree oil on a cotton swab to dissolve the buildup.
