We might need some disambiguation...

AO is Auto Opener, I thought.... maybe the other is more common....

I remember puzzling over quite of few of these abbr. Here are a few more that we commonly see here:

MBC = Martial Blade Craft

NKP = Non Knife People

LBK = Little Big Knife

FG = Foliage Green

UKPK = United Kingdom Pen Knife

Folks love their abbr. and KFLTKA (knife folks love their knife abbreviations). :D

This is correct. Search is your friend. Nobody need to reinvent the wheel, unless it is a lot of fun. :)

Spyderdrop

Post by jabba359 »

As far as lingo goes, I've been wondering for a long time what exactly a "spyderdrop" entails. Anyone care to explain? I tried searching youtube for demo videos, but couldn't find any.

You grab the blade hole between your finger and thumb and flick your wrist down. The handle flies open and locks, probably not to easy on the lock, but it's a cool, fast way to open a spydie.
