To replace phone books, wich are impossible to find in France nowadays, I use school suppliers catalogs. I get like 6 or 7 of them each year, exact same thickness than phonebooks used to have.
I've found out that it needs a perfect edge tho because the paper used is just less homogenous through the page !

:bug-red In my opinion, folks who buy Sprint Run or Custom Spyderco knives, for the sole purpose of selling them on EBAY at a ridiculous price, just to make a nice profit, are greedy jerks. Why would you want to do that to a fellow knife collector or enthusiast? If you’re like me, setting alarms & calendar reminders, posting the website link right to your home screen, and credit card in hand ready to purchase that specific Spyderco that you NEED :star-struck or will die without :squinting-tongue then you know how it feels….. to see those 3 devastating words “out of stock”. :disappointed Oh, but look!!!!!!! There are 7 on EBAY for 2-3 time the price. :eye-roll
Please stop making people like me cry. For really real…. It’s not cool. :pleading

What are you eyeing as your next knife purchase? Spydie or Non-Spydie

Also, do you have some good kitchen knives?
So it goes.

We made it to Salem today after about 14 hours of driving. I feel naked without a full size knife on my hip (among other things missing).


Funny part, my wife carried her pink Native LW anyway. I guess I failed to mention the law issues lol.

Next knife purchase may be an Amalgam or a Pattadese.

Long-term, I am waiting for the release of a Sebenza 31 Insingo, as well as a new run of the Paysan.

I've been waiting too. I would like a small, not sure about an inlay or not.

I have a couple of Bark Rivers on pre-order. NC EDC, ULB, and the recently-announced Bushcraft Scout.

I'd like to get myself a large Sebenza in natural micarta.

Not many Spydies calling out my name right now - I think the Crucarta PM2 is the only one I'm really looking forward to right now.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Been wanting a shark lock demko in 3 1/2" flavor.

Going to see how long I can hold out on K390 Se Police. I had a dream that I was carving a pumpkin with said K390 Police. It's going to happen, as much as it doesn't need to.

I guess my next purchase will be a spydie in spyder edge to try for the first time, mainly because/thanks to Evil D's thread.

I'm trying to hold off on new knife purchases for a bit. I'm currently at my limit for my display stands. I stand there and look at them and try to think which one would be next to sell if I were to get something new. But, I'm very happy with all of my knives I have right now. I've put together a pretty good collection of knives that really suit me for work, as well as a few nice/fancy knives.

I'm going to try and keep things as they are, but maybe get some new scales for a few models if I'm feeling the itch for something "new"
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

What knife did you end up carrying? I feel the same way when carrying a knife with a sub 3" blade.

Just my keychain Ladybug Salt and a multitool which I think is probably illegal too but I refused to leave without it.

Surely it would be easier to just drive to Reno?

I don't have a shop in mind, but they're legal in Nevada.
