Oddly I’m in Northern Australia and it gets easier. Look through the hole and see water that’s north and look through the hole and see land and that’s south….. :winking-tongue

That's very clever, Standy. Here's another trick we north-hemispherians use: You sight through the hole of your Manix at a compass, and that combination will tell you which way is north. Not sure if that will work down under.

As long as you sight your solar compass watch THROUGH your Spyder's hole, then it's all good.

And I really wanted the sharpen the spine just like the edge, that hole really screwed that plan up! >:[


I sharpen the holes, they're the best tool I've found for skinning hotdogs.
Ah! Now I feel like I’ve missed the point my whole life! Lol

Yes he is, I'd love to buy him a beer! (even though for some strange reason he puts a hole in his knife blades?) ;)

Now....if he were to give us members a first crack at the new Ayoob, I'd send him a case of his choice!
