Re: Reacher Season 2

Love that show! I’m waiting on season 2 of Tulsa king but that’s sisterly going to be a loooong time off. I was just reading where it’s been approved but they’re not even going to start shouting it until this year. I love how “modern tv shows” are generally over a year apart and then it’s a whoppin...

Re: I got my Techno 2 today!!

I am still on the fence about this one. Can you fit all fingers on the handle and what's your glove size? I am L. Thanks! :-) I wear a large glove as well and I can kinda get all four fingers on it. The pinky is just barely on there. A more comfortable grip though has my pinky kinda tucked up behin...

Re: I got my Techno 2 today!!

I don't know if he's on the forum or not. He has a website; just google xxxadrenalinxxx. He makes screws and spacers for tons of knives, in several colors. Not sure if every color is available for every knife. He's in Australia and pretty much every order is custom-made, so plan for several weeks. ...

Re: I got my Techno 2 today!!

FYI xxxAdrenalinxxx makes a set of green-anodized Ti screws that match the spacers perfectly. That’s cool! I’ll have to check that out. Is he a user on here thatI pm or does he have a Website? If I decide to keep the scales natural I’ll probably go that route because that would look cool. I’m also ...

Re: I got my Techno 2 today!!

Nice looking knife! I have a Techno 1 that is still one of my favorites! It's so uniquely small, but very handfilling. Blade stock is definitely thicker than the 2, but doesn't bother me much. Definitely different than every other knife in my collection. Mine was sharpened at a random farmers marke...

Re: I got my Techno 2 today!!

Thanks for posting these photos! I had a Techno 1 years ago and enjoyed it, although I didn't love the blade thickness (just a personal preference) and ultimately sold it. The 2 is a gorgeous knife and looks similarly comfortable in hand. I love the green standoffs - didn't realize those were there...

Re: Show your love for Taichung Taiwan Spydercos!

My beautiful Knifejoy spydiechef after re-anodizing the scales. The bow was fading and full of scratches so I grabbed a few supplies and went to it. Super easy and cheap to do. I think it came out amazing! Gonna throw a few pics in with it next to its brand new little brother. I just got the amazing...

That's a cool lookin' knife.
Thank you! I’ve only had it a few hours and haven’t actually done anything but flick it a bunch but I’m really liking it a lot.

I got my Techno 2 today!!

Got my Techno 2 today! Man this thing is sweet and I’m not a fan of small knives. I read so many reviews on it though saying that it feels and works like a much larger knife. I haven’t used it yet other than to slice some paper (typical factory edge, fairly toothy and razor sharp) but it definitely ...

Re: Re-anodized my Knifejoy SpydieChef!

And thank you all for the compliments. I’m super happy with it! I know it’ll just wear and scratch up again because I LOVE this thing and carry it and use it every day but I’m 10-15 minutes I can have it looking just like this again. That’s the best part.

Re: Re-anodized my Knifejoy SpydieChef!

How does one anodize? It’s SUPER easy and pretty cheap. I watched several videos but this was the easiest one to follow and understand and read the most budget friendly because it just uses 9V batteries linked together. The only thing I did that’s not in this video was I dunked it in hydrofluoric a...

Re: Re-anodized my Knifejoy SpydieChef!

You're right. That's really pretty. Nicely done. I wonder if that could be done to change a standard color SpydieChef to that pretty blue or perhaps one of the other titanium models. Hmmm. :thinking Yes you can anodize any titanium. Before I did mine I actual acid etched it to remove ALL the old an...

Re-anodized my Knifejoy SpydieChef!

My Knifejoy exclusive chef was starting to darken up and lose it’s nice blue color. From everything I’ve read anodizing on titanium isn’t very sturdy and wears off and scratches easily. Also through looking around I found out how crazy easy and cheap it is to anodize titanium so I got all the stuff ...

Re: I have an axe to grind. Confession of an X addict

Another Fiskars guy here! They’re incredible axes for the money and the newer X series (they’re the black and orange handles) are much more durable than the originals which could bust with an over swing. They’re a softer steel but you can get them shaving sharp pretty easily. I would LOVE a nice GB ...

Re: Customer for life

The pricing alone is already a huge gift in itself but a couple purchases ago I got a few very nice surprises included with mine. A few really nice stickers, a REALLY nice full color high gloss catalog (they can’t be cheap to make) and a really really nice first responder challenge coin. I was blown...

Re: Newby Spiderco owner

Welcome to the forum! The Endura is a great model and my favorite of the back locks. It’s little brother the Delica was my first Spyderco. I’d also highly recommended the sharpmaker for keeping it razor sharp.

It just seems so freaking cool and I LOOOOVE my chef and they’re designed by the same guy and are kinda similar. I just don’t know how much use I’d really have out of a knife t...
