Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal
Thanks for the updating Chinstrap. I'll be looking for results as time goes by. Hopefully things will work out the way they should. That last picture is a good one and thanks for including it. If you have any auto type paste wax try giving it a coating. Even a standard candle can do wonders. I've fo...

Re: Any cat lovers?
That's the beauty of cats, they have a mind of their own. Mine will come to me to cuddle. Cats are also very hygienic so where does the smell come from? Besides the litterbox of course 😉 I love dogs but the smell of them especially when wet 🤢 That isn't beauty to me. :) A dog will try to struggle u...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
Danke got that one! A veteran #2 with tape holding up parts of it. Perfect!
Oh, I say Enduras or Delicas. I can carry whatever I want but I feel lost without an Endura in my pocket. I have had one with me almost constantly since 1992.

Re: Any cat lovers?
Cats sure are cute but their bad habits and behavior out weigh that for me. Unlike dogs they don't offer anything but demanding behavior and bad smells. Dogs on the other hand will work for the common good of the family pack and if their needs are met and they have a good pack leader (owner) they wi...

Re: Spyderco and hrc
I guess you can't just accept that Spyderco has reasons for doing what they do. If you do enough research here going back in time you will find enough of those reasons to figure out what is going on and the probable reasons for it. The reasons they don't are so obvious to me I don't get why everyone...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal
It isn't faulty and it does have some contamination on it. I don't believe plain oxidation rust is possible with that steel. The grooves in the steel are like mountains and valleys to really fine particles and you can't get some off without a paste or wax scrubbing. Mostly that won't matter but you ...

Re: What’s your favourite Jerky recipe?
Be careful with it. It's strong stuff and too much ruins it. It is difficult to get off the smell if it gets on your hands and it can trigger mild skin reactions or allergic reactions in some. I strongly prefer the Calgon over the Old Hickory taste wise. I also make it a bit stronger if using veniso...

You might be surprised what being shot at can do for a mans character. :)PS. I’m not entirely convinced about Joe’s idea of shooting the slightly illiterate.

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal
Sal is correct. I recall that was some stuff left over on the blade that flaked off when it finally was able to dry up. It makes me think some of the things that could be causing the discoloration Chinstrap is seeing. It could be a bunch of things like steel/iron/rust powder that was wiped off from ...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"
I don't go out of my way to watch my grammar and I will on occasion make up my own words. I never thought about the possibility of it bothering others. I don't intend on starting to worry now either. Not until someone is annoyed enough to start shooting in my direction. :)

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
I see nothing wrong with it. Great knife. I feel the same way. I'd love one in Cruwear or 4V, maybe even 3V. It must be fairly expensive to make in comparison to some other Spydercos and I'd bet money the Manix 2 lock. I also remember some folks complaining online about the famous lock back movemen...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

He explained it as why animals with higher heartbeats and metabolism have shorter lives and he said it's the same with us. There are certainly other factors such...

Re: High-Impact Ceramic (HIC) first folder to be released
Yeah, I have to agree with Mushroom. It might be a challenge just trying to talk the vendors into it. There would be issues doing it in Golden. I'm sure if they wanted it bad enough they could by assigning enough resources to it but would it be worth the time and effort doing it? The old ones put ou...

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?
I'd carry my Enduras no matter what the law said. I'm too used to it and have more than 30 years of muscle memory and because of that I can get it out and use it faster than any auto I have ever owned. I have arthritis and some nerve damage in my hand also which makes my hand numb at times and the d...
