this thread is so damm cool. I looovvve the old tymer look w/no orange scale... pappaw was right..nothin' like HC steels...nothin' baby almost makes me wanna wrap bamboo in soaked tatami and start dissection procedures...ALMOST!! Onions work great for a dark quick patina, but ive never made a ggmbo ...

what "brush" is used to produce a brushed satin finish on stainlesd & high carbon...can it be done by hand?

See i told u...stupid...thanx

btw its also difficult 2 keep at 90 degrees on a blade w/curves, like a khukuri...

great thing about spyders so many venoms, only 8 legs!

what? no ups trak??

thanx guys. leather is classic but eventually rots no matter what u do. I live in a humid climate (to say the least)might as well be in a tent, so h20 is a pain

i just got in touch w/annie at NGK, they wanna send it back to spyderco in golden 4 analysis

2 get kydex, eylets, hand presses, instruction 4 use 4 sheath making etc, all so confusing.

Can I ask what you've heard in reference to quality being a problem? I can't say that I recall any glaring issues with the Hossom fixed blades. Kristi yes, on this forum people spoke of handle problems, nicked blades etc. these knives are hard 2 find and it is unlawful 2 ask if someone on the very f...

I own several machetes, and just about every large knife cs has made.

buying knives from forum members seems to produce a violation of stated rules, such as wtb/wts problems. Forgive an old knifenutts ignorance, but im having a little difficulty seeing how this is accomplished. Other sites have wtb/wts sections. certainly spyderco has the right to run thier site how t...

As for the little spider on the blades, I think it looks a lot like a tick.[/QUOTE] I used to wonder over that myself-- I love the little blue guy though hes so cute and besides its the little spyder u never see that gets your attention--mark All Gods critters have knives!

Sounds like you're looking at some discontinued models with your length requirement. The Hossom Models (forester, dayhiker, woodlander) seem to fit your bill. Yes friend and from what im reading quality was a problem w/them as well. when does golden colarado jump back on the 7 in. plus bandwagon ag...

It could've been as easily called shark-co, hawk-co, helzbellz we already got byrd knives
