Spyderco Forums

Clark, I have not been in your shoes, I am in your shoes. Right now, I know exactly how it feels. Bitterness was no solution for me, I am still in contact with her. Then again, you might handle it different, and let me tell, it's not easy for me either. I figured I still want to be her friend. Do 'f...

Thanks for the contest :)

no folders. they attract dirt.

A small fixed that cuts. Spyderco Temperance or Perrin come to my mind. I'd take my custom Perrin, carbon steel, easy to sharpen.

A khukuri, likely a 18" sirupate. Will take down trees, and people. Light and quick.

Talk to her about it. Obvious advice I guess, but recent trouble in my life again showed me the importance of talking about problems. Makes life a lot easier. Also, I think you should consider talking to her parents. Put your cards on the table, be honest, but confront them with the issues that are ...

Works like a charm IWB with the method Fred Perrin often ships his knives with - tie a string to the steath, attach the string to your belt and you're good to go. Length of string depends on personal preferences.

Kristi, can you verify the 0.15%C from the Spyderco Steel chart? Roman Landes has wondered if this is true, since the steel allegdly reaches such high RC hardness :confused:

Discussion (in German) here, if anyone cares: http://www.messerforum.net/showthread.php?t=34482

Thanks,

Kristi, may I quote you? We have an interesting discussion about H1 at the Messerforum.net in Germany.

Regards, Keno

Hi Sal,

I've got a couple of questions about H1:

- What Rc hardness is Spyderco using?
- Did you do any tests with X15TN before choosing H1? If yes, how does it compare?

Regards,

Keno

the picture will change colors even if you follow the directions. it will change from the weird colors to 'normal' colors. then, after you blink, you will realize it's only black and white.

"capitalism baby!" - Jepp, but only as long as it works well for you. I am often surprised when I hear the "Buy American" slogans from people who on the other side are advocating "capitalism, baby!". We are only willing to advocate capitalism as long as it doesn't mean ...

Strange, cause on their site it says in bold, large letters: " DO NOT DISASSEMBLE YOUR BENCHMADE KNIFE " Anyways, this isn't the place to discuss it, and where am I bashing Benchmade? Doo, Spyderco has the same policy. You said they'd charge you a fee as soon as one disassembles the knife...

Yeah, but if you disassemble your knife to clean it, then put it back together again, then later decide you need to send it in for a lock problem, etc. you guys will still fix it for free, right? Because Benchmade charges a fee as soon as you disassemble the knife. If you want to bash Benchmade, at...

Thanks for the contest :)

You could also consider splitting the fobs up, and giving them to the six closed members...

42 is the answer, of course

Dito the filet knife, or something the size of the temperance.

I really would like to have a fixed blade that can withstand camping use in marine enviroments; etc. gutting and preparing fish, but it should still have a bit less flex than a true filet knife.

The are spyderco sponsored passarounds in Europe, more specific in the UK (I think) and in Germany/Austria. I am organizing the latter ones. If folks from the Netherlands register at the messerforum.net, we might be able to figure out a way to let them participate as well. On a sidenote, a period of...

It was an honor to meet you at the IWA. Thanks alot for the knifetalk, it was very informative and fun :)

Blessings from Hamburg,

Keno

Sal and everyone from the Spyderco crew, glad everyone made it back safely. I hope you had a good time in Germany, although you probably didn't see much of the country, standing at the IWA all day. It was great to meet everyone there, thanks a thousand times for inviting us. Looking forward to seein...

I've always found that serrations cut more aggresivly, which also means they sometimes tear up stuff more than a plain egde. The advantage is that a dull serrated edge will still cut stuff better than a dull plain edge - although you might want to use a box cutter when delicate cutting is more impor...

Congrats, Chad! :)
