Re: Native Chief M390 sprint run
Not sure how many of these Sprint Run knives are left but I just bought another Spyderco Native Chief in M390, Satin direct from Spyderco. I may buy another one or two over the next 60 days if they are still for sale. M390 is a great steel! :party-face https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C244GD...

Re: Be safe over Memorial Day
Back in the 90's my then wife and I went down for our yearly trek to Indianapolis for the Indy 500. I think that we attended 6 or 7 times in a row at least. I was driving, and of course we did not know where we were going, and managed to get into an accident. A woman in her early 20's driving 40MPH ...

When will the Magnacut Native Chief be out? I checked around and nobody has one.

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread
zuludelta, I never thought about a steel water bottle as a weapon before. Good idea for places where 'weapons' may be forbidden but water bottles are not. I may be wrong, but I imagine that with a partially-filled water bottle, the water inside could potentially increase the centrifugal (?) force o...

Re: Microplastics Being Found Everywhere
It is definitely a very real problem. I am and have been an advocate for plastics/polymers but I am for safe plastics that do not harm people and the enviroment and animals and plants. If we could move to diamond polymers which are nothing but carbon arranged into a diamond like structure, perhaps ...

Re: Your 3d printer predictions wanted
I think 3D printers will vastly improve in speed and ability. The prices will come down. In 25 years people may have a few 3D printers in their home and shop. - 1 to make parts and tools for the garage....tool and parts suppliers will go under - 1 to prepare/mix food and make mixed drinks/lattes for...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
Spyderco makes a lot of beautiful knives. I cannot afford to buy a hundred knives a year since retiring so I just buy what I think are decent self defense knives.

Re: The evolution of a car kit
I bookmarked this thread. Today we do not have a car, but that will probably change within the next 2 to 3 months. I suggest everyone have a car kit, and a very light go-bag(could be a shoulder sling) and carry this 5lb bag everywhere that you go. You never know if your car will be stolen or you can...

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
For the past 4 years, 90% of my carry knives have included one or more Spyderco knives. It gets so that it is hard to keep track of them when it comes time to wash clothes and accidentally I put my S90V Native Chief through the wash the other day. No rust yet, but it is nice and clean! Well they di...

I try and stay away from anything .ru or .cn. I figure if they collect one million ip addresses and the USA has any issues with them, then your system will be one that gets hacked!

Re: Anyone have a card with "fraud prevention services" get in the way of buying stuff?
YES! And it is a major league hassle. My family may be changing a major bank over this very thing. Sure nobody wants to be a victim of fraud. But with this particular bank, we even called them and said a particular wire transfer was good....we were logged into the online account via a desktop system...
