I like the shot...but...Sacre bleu! Not an Opinel ?!? Or a Laguiole ?!?

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
FWIW I have to agree with you that everything I've ever needed a knife for while backpacking, a D'fly would have done it. Except maybe once when I hurt a knee and needed to carve a walking stick, but that was before I started using poles, so...yeah, I think a D'fly would cover anything I've ever ne...

WSJ - Best Chef's Knives
If any of you are interested in this, I scraped the text of a Wall Street Journal article on "Best Chef's Knives." It was in the Thursday May 9 issue. ----------- The Best Chef’s Knives for Dicing, Slicing and Chopping Nearly Anything No more blunt blades—our favorite knives start sharp an...

Re: My Folding Mule Project
Righteous. A lovely custom knife. Love it. Looks fantastic. I like the longer-than-normal tab for unlocking.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Agreed...the Caly Jr. has an exceptionally nice lock release. This is the best spyderco/glesser edc folder design. Just beautiful, functional, and combines all of spydercos core design elements. The black micarta is THE version for me, but I also do like the unique texture for the frn version of thi...

No, I don't think it's fowl at all. I think you can pullet off. In fact, I think it's plucky.

Re: My Folding Mule Project
Thanks for the info on grinding the intricate bits. So it sounds like high speed (Dremel or Foredom) type tools with a combo of cutting discs, carbide bits, CBN bits, and diamond bits would get the job done. The freehand level of accuracy you're able to obtain, is remarkable. I can see how the tang,...

Re: My Folding Mule Project
Excellent! May I ask how you made the complex and intricate shapes in the very hard steel of the tang? What tools can do this?

Re: Bead blasting G10
Interesting thread. I have often wondered about blasting (with some sort of media, don't know what) the uber-slick carbon fiber scales on a Caly. I'd really like some more traction on those scales. Stuart, you probably know that blasting with baking soda is a common "gentle" media to use. ...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
One does have to give thought to what might be needed versus what is necessary every day. It hardly ever rains here but... Well whaddya know, a fellow SW desert rat...though I'm mostly on the Calif side of the Colorado River, but sometimes east of it. I'll keep an eye out for a guy carrying a D'fly...

Re: Fake Manix 2 LWs on Ebay?
Ah, gotcha. No apologies needed. We live in a time when subjectivity rules, so if "pivot screws" means "pins" to you, that's cool, no stigma. Same goes for gender.

I have a dog in this fight, preordered a Magnacut NC LW last BF (and still waiting).
I am hoping once the clip length issue is brought to the attention of Spyderco, they will produce a longer clip... ?
