2024 should be the year we see the HP Delica. My RIT dye is waiting and my apple trees have finally matured.

Congrats to winners and thanks for judging Windward.

The other day, I had a dream that I had purchased a new Stretch XL Salt in PE. At first I was pleased with my purchase, but as the dream progressed, I realized the last third of the edge as it sweeps up towards the tip wasn't sharpened at all, and oddly, had some serious dents in it. Then I was thi...

Rex121 is too exotic for my tastes. The toughness is just too low. BUT, I have been wanting to try the Sage 5 and the SPY27 will likely be the first one.

The Shadow knows it is the Year of the Dragon.

Comparing apple to apple, below is a Stretch 1 and 2 in ZDP-189. Different steels may be slightly different in the hundredths of an inch. XL numbers not included. https://i.imgur.com/MVfD1HJ.jpg The Stretch 1 has a more pronounced pinky catch, but a shorter handle. Even with the shorter handle, the ...

Congrats Windward and thanks for the callout Mrj. Lots of great photos this week.

hooch - I kept looking for cheap liquor somewhere in the photo, or something that looked like liquor. Us non-Georgia folks was done confused.

For about 20 years, I carried different iterations of Delicas in pocket every day. Then for about 10 years, I switched to carrying Stretch every day. It was simple and easy. I used my knives and was glad to have them with me. Then for health reason, I retired. I have been trying a variety of differe...

Happy Year of the Dragon Chinese New Year! No better dragon horde than a pile of Spydercos.

Dack has some, okay, jk.

DLTtrading has the Pattadese for $130 right now plus a sale on various Smock scales and a few other Spyderco knives (Byrds, Tenacious, couple of Delicas). But the Pattadese caught my eye for those in the market.

I got Crazy GREAT Deals from Dack on a Techno 2 and SpydieChef during that sale they had. Both of those knives were on sale for less than $200 each and I received them within 10 days of ordering. I have made other orders from them in the past that took longer to deliver. Due to the low prices, I am ...

Congrats winners!

To anyone that owns Slysz knives: Is the opening similar between the Bowie and the Chef? Both the Chef and the Techno2 seem to be easy to open. But I found the Swayback to be more difficult to open via the Spydie hole. Maybe it is the size of my thumb, but the Swayback just doesn't seem to work well...

Stretch 2 Magnacut (with the original curved upper blade, not the same blade shape as every other knife) - currently not available Delica4 S30V (quite happy with what I have) Shaman S30V (quite happy with what I have) PM2 Salt Magnacut - I'm waiting (somewhat) patiently Harpy Plainedge with G10 han...

Hoping they have a large batch cuz I think demand will be high due to the uniqueness of the offering. While it states that the Boltaron sheath won't fit, can anyone answer if the leather sheath fits?

Deleted. Don't want to participate this week. Will update next week.

Congrats to the Windward and Apollo. Thanks for judging LB.

What is this white and/or solid clear stuff that people keep posting with their knives in the winter? It's pretty, but well nigh unknown in this neck of the woods.
