Re: Anyone have a card with "fraud prevention services" get in the way of buying stuff?
I've had a couple of transactions declined by fraud protection, and it really ticks me off. Apparently, 66 years is not old enough to decide for myself what I can spend my money on. What pissed me off even more is that fraud prevention didn't stop someone from using Venmo to steal $500 out of the sa...

Re: Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??
I don't much care for combo edges at all. Plain or serrated, one or the other.

I have over 50 Police models and not a single one is combo edge, so no, thank you.

Re: 3 on a tree
Dad told me they used to flip the shift lever over to the left side of the column. Reverse was then pull back and down, the first to second shift was an easy slap down and third for cruising was up and away so the lever was high and out of the way. And you could keep your arm around your girl the wh...

Re: If you know anything about the Mule Team
Sorry for the bringing up the dead but YES I have searched this forum very briefly but what exactly is "cobalt special"? Is that something that is knowable elementally and.. how's it actually made? I gathered it's a laminated construction which.. makes absolutely no sense to me. I can't j...

Unless he edited something and got autokicked to moderation again. I don't know how long that can happen.

Re: Endura w/armorer tool (Not Lone Wolf?)
Unless it was custom made, you probably need to schedule a mental acuity check up. The closest thing I know of would be on the Remote Release, and that's not very close.

If you can find one of the G-10 UKPKs, the back is fully enclosed. Just a little information from an enabler.

Re: 2024 OpFocus Seconds Sale?
Got the email this morning. June 23, I plan to be there. I'll probably drive up on Saturday and hang out overnight again. Hopefully I'll remember to pick up my chair this time.

Re: Manbug doesn‘t safely lock anymore
I have had lint collect under the lockbar as well as in the lock well in the blade tang. Lint in the lockwell is easy to see and easy to clean out, but crud under the lockbar is hard to see and can be a real problem to clean out. Open the blade half way and shine a light into the blade channel where...

I have bad news. The death of social media cannot happen soon enough to save civilization. We are doomed, so enjoy whatever time you have left.

Re: Different Generation Ladybugs
They are both 3rd Generation, just different production runs. The one is indeed Foliage green, a color developed to match Army uniform color, rather than the older and much more rare grey.
The black one is a bit newer, after the change to screw construction and with Sal's mark added.

Re: Civilian sharpening angle
The ceramic rods don't really have a grit rating as such. As far as stock removal and scratch pattern go, I personally find the brown rods fall between a well broken-in DMT Coarse (blue) and a well broken-in DMT Fine (red) and the white rods a bit finer than DMT Extra Fine (green). I realize that ma...

Re: Ikuchi, the best Spyderco folding filet knife?
I have to agree with Matt, the Ikuchi blade is nowhere near flexible enough for filet duty.
