I am sure it isn't short, and I figured it would take about 100,000 to get the ball rolling. If it is possible for a small time company, this would def. get them well known.

Dealer exclusive question

I was wondering if anyone can get a dealer exclusive from spyderco, or do you have to be one of the top online retailers? Hypothetically, if I was a small knife retailer just starting out, and I wanted to boost my business with a dealer exclusive PM2, would I be able to order it? I know this is a qu...

the awesome quality, great QC, and even better warranty, its easy to see how you could mistake Spyderco for a semi custom manufacture like CRK... Really though on a serious note, I could be very wrong but I personally have never heard of it. I also haven't been "with" Spyderco for a long t...

Also flat chisel grinds in my experience are weak, and tend to get a lot of micro chipping. The Micro bevel will help strengthen the edge.

It depends on what tools you are working with, and what you want to do with the knife. You could leave it as a chisel grind and sharpen correctly that way, or you could always add a micro bevel to it, to enhance the cutting performance. It all comes back to what you want to cut with it. it would be ...

Just realized how strange I am

Hey guys, I have been thinking if i was alone on this or not, or if any of you are similar to me. I am left handed, but i carry my knife on my right side. The strange thing is, i feel more comfortable opening my knife with my right hand, but when ever i cut something, it is always with my left hand....

I agree with Monocrom, they are very over priced. There are some that are made in Switzerland, and there are also some that just say Swiss movt. I owned a couple, and the 800 series are pretty nice. For the same price range i would suggest to you researching Frederique Constant, possibly secondary m...

Nice job brother. Being a blade smith i always use my tormex, among other methods. I especially like the fact that you can change the grit of your stone from 220 to 1000 in 2 mins.

My assumption would be if he is here asking this advise, he might not know how to do it correctly. But yes, given the know how, either way would be acceptable.
