Re: Ugly knives

My wife thinks they have animal like features. The thumbhole seems to remind people of eyes so the bladeshape looks like a beak of a bird.
I don't care how they look. Form follows function.

Re: Newbie to Spydercos - did I get an Authentic one ?

Servus Jean, after looking at your pictures i notice that there is no native five molded in under the Spyderco bug on the handle. I don't have a native 5 but as far as i know the model is always molded under the bug in the newer models. Maybe someone with an actual native can confirm. Just checked t...

Re: 9/11 never forget, never forgive

I believe they where inscribed with an inscription on the blade. Only saw a picture once a few years ago. One of the dodo's of Spyderco. Don't think you can find a lot on the secondary market. Maybe Sal will chime in.

Re: 9/11 never forget, never forgive

But also Sal and Gail. They drove up to N.Y. and donated a lot of Spyderco rescue blades to the guys and girls working the rubble piles at ground zero.
They did their part as well.

Re: 9/11 never forget, never forgive

My post was not geared towards the different scandals and political spin doctors. I think we should honor the average guy/gal who gets up every day to earn an honest living by protecting the life and limbs of the general public because he/she is a cop, firefighter, paramedic, nurse, soldier. I'm tal...

9/11 never forget, never forgive

Let's all remember 9/11. Now 22 years ago.
Let's not forgive the sacrifice people made during these times and those who gave life, limb or sanity in the resulting wars against extremism.

We remember.

Re: Yojumbo as EDC

I don't see any problem with carrying the yojumbo. The only drawback is the fact that you almost need a second smaller blade to cut anything in public.
For it's intended it works very well

Re: Spyderco matriarch 2 or Harpy ( for a women with little hands)

The harpy is not very suited for self defense due to its hawkbill blade. The Matriarch is designed as a slashing weapon. But the yojimbo is a better alround knife. I would recommend Filipino Martial Arts to start using a knife in a defensive matter of get lessons in modern knife fighting ( Janich, S...

Re: Caregiving 101: Suggestions?

Hey JD. Just a little tip. Take time to take care of yourself as well. Burnout is a real danger as a caregiver. The psychological feeling of "guilt" when you take some me-time can be very strong. You can't take care if you don't take care of yourself. Best wishes and thank you for your care

Re: WTC help

The molds of the handle where destroyed after the production. The chance of finding spare parts is slim to nothing. Iirc there are still pieces of the beam found in SFO.

Another 2 weeks sans Military 2, but at least I'm starting to see more listings in Europe, maybe that's a good omen?
Where did you find the postings in Europe?
