Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
I have been carrying out the side and OTF autos regularly in the city for more than twenty years without issue. I take care as to where and when I do use them. I don't whip out my Infidel and use it to cut up my steak in a restaurant. :Dsamdasnake wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 3:35 amThat is such a beautiful knife!!

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
I know right? The only legal auto I have is a Kershaw CA legal model. Maybe Spyderco wants to get into the CA legal market too??Sumdumguy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 4:24 amYou can, just cut 2/3 of the blade off!samdasnake wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 3:35 amThat is such a beautiful knife!!

I don't think I can carry this where I live.

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
I don't think I can justify this one. I have an Autonomy 2 that I haven't used much

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
Ordered one today! I even sold my ultratech to buy it. I haven’t been this excited for a knife since my first PM2. Anyone have any size comparisons?

This was cut from KeithKevinKen video review............next to a Delica.

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
Looks like a perfect size to me! And without a choil, it should have a good amount of usable edge. Can’t wait to get mine!
Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
I drove up to the BladeOps store first thing this morning and picked up two in person--one for me and one for my son as a Christmas present.
The guy behind the counter was happy to bring out a whole stack of shiny new Embassy knives for me to play with. I must have looked at 8 or 10 different knives and picked the best pair to take with me.
The first one I looked at has perfect lock-up so of course it's in my pocket right now. The other knife I brought home has just the very slightest amount of blade-play. Everything else about these two Embassy knives is, of course, stellar.
Being able to pick out your very own is one nice advantage of having two great local knife shops (BladeOps and Blade HQ) within easy driving distance.
The disadvantage is....well, I'm sure you all know what happens when it's so easy to simply drop by on the way home from work and browse for just a few minutes..... :rolleyes:

Hej på dej!
Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
Eurastus, welcome to the forum! You are indeed lucky to live that close to both of those establishments. If it were me I'd have been broke a long time ago. :D

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
I was expecting my Embassy to be delivered today. Dumb me didn't think about the fact that I'd need to be home to sign for it. I found a note on my door from the mail carrier stating that I can pick up the package at the post office tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have an appointment after work tomorrow and I'm not sure I'll make it to the PO before they close. Oh well, I'll just have to wait I guess.

Re: Spyderco Embassy is back!
Can anyone provide an explanation of how the button lock keeps the blade open and closed?
