What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

[JuPaul]

Back to this today. I've more or less been rotating btw this, the 4v manix, the 10v pm2 and the k390 pm2 the last few weeks.

Blade appears shinier than any of my REXs

Yeah, I'm not a patina person. I like to keep 'em shiny. :D

I thought you may have polished it somehow, but I guess it's probably my patina dulling the finish.

By the way, you are the enabler of my TeroTuf. I like them so much that I have another set coming in, forest green.

Lol! Forest green will be my next ones - such nice scales. And I did wipe that blade on my jeans before the pic.

You've definitely spearheaded this TerfoTuf movement around here Julia! I'm tempted to get a set myself, just not sure what model I would want to put them on just yet.

I just ordered my first two edc flashlights (an olight i3t and a microstream) after realizing I use the crappy flashlight on my phone multiple times a day. I'd like to see a thread like this to expland my knowledge on the subject.

I've been using an Olight I3T EOS as my EDC and work light for a while now & I'm quite happy with it. Really compact and its lowest setting of 5 lumens is all I need for basic stuff like seeing in front of me when walking down an unlit path at night, making out pallet labels in a dark warehouse, or looking for the TV remote or loose change or whatever under the couch. I've never used the 180 lumen "turbo" mode except to annoy my neighbour's cat.

Battery life is good, too on the low setting (16 hours, which to me translates to about 4 to 6 months of intermittent use), especially for a AAA flashlight. I suggest using a Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable Ni-MH AAA, it will save you money in the long run. Another suggestion is to use the two-way clip to carry it "tip-up" if you're going to clip it to your front pants pocket... there is no lockout feature so if you accidentally turn it on, at least you can see it right away.

Nice! Thank you for the feedback and the tips. Honestly I tried those two because they're so compact and I run into the tiny women's pockets issue again. One is AAA and the other usb rechargeable, so thought I'd see which I prefer. Anyhow...sorry, end thread derail. If no one else does it, I'll start that light and spydie thread when mine arrive!

Nice filing system you have there Darby. The military isn't too bad either.

Gotta have fun at work when you can! :D

Yeah I agree. Any little bit helps
Here's my little bit of fun today.

Those older SE natives look so bada$$!

[VashHash]

Yeah I miss the hollow grind and swedge. Wish I could get that blade on the native 5 handle. Maybe one day they'll do a retro sprint or something.

Perfect

If you like micarta, you'll like terotuf imo. I think I may even prefer it.

Just got my Native Chief! My first Spyderco backlock, and I am impressed. Think I'm going to carry this a lot!

[PeaceInOurTime]

:cool:

This steel continues to impress me

This steel continues to impress me

I didn't know they'd upgraded the steel to BD1N ! Most of the dealers here still have the older BD1 models

I got this one from cutlery shoppe sometime last year... maybe 7-8 months ago?

Pinned construction, combo edge, not FFG.... not popular traits but I like it quite a bit. One of the smoothest back locks I own or have owned. Love the neutral handle.

Notice how similar that Handle shape is to all the “skinny” mods on para 3s?
