Oh man that is pretty scary stuff. A scuba diver some years back told me some machine shops around marinas where divers frequent have made what they call an "Anti Shark Pike": This consists of a solid or telescoping rod/shaft (with locks that keep it rigid when extended) that has a very s...

I carry a Gerber EAB regular version for the multiple purposes of something of non scary size, lendable, very easy to carry due to small size, and as a blade I can abuse (pry, scrape, cut thin metal, etc) without worry since it is replaceable. It has served the purpose of a lent knife on multiple oc...

Is Manly an authorized licensee of the Round Opening Hole, Jess Horn and other IP? Their fixed blade, while I cannot place its name in memory, looks very much like one of the recent fixed blade offerings by Spyderco. Their Peak and Peak 2 are obviously derived from the Jess Horn, in addition to havi...

I lean more in the user direction of collecting, and have found that my purchasing frequency has slowed down as I have filled all the various niches that I have need for a knife.

I think it would be most accurate to say that they closely share design language.

Tool pouch for your hip? The Nite Ize Pock Its Mini perhaps? The J type clips Nite Ize uses on their products is quite secure. https://www.google.com/search?q=nite+ize+pock+its+mini&num=50&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS517US518&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBvIHZxubVAhXFOyYKHdT2ATE...

One problem with grippier clips is higher level of wear on the pocket outsides of clothing. Keep the textures on the knife where they belong.

It really bothered me to leave this issue hanging, so here is what I came up with for a way to attach straps to the scabbard using existing holes. Here is the business side that the straps go through, and is against the appendage being attached to: http://imgur.com/3KsRQCt.jpg And here is the side t...

Good grief! If they are going for that much it is time for Spyderco to bring out an updated (so it does not affect collector values) version. See: //forum.spyderco.com/viewto ... d#p1160216

A wire clip is good for putting a small knife on the outside your underwear band so that nothing is digging into your skin.

Well, if they were still on the market, the SpyderCard or ByrdCard would be perfect. But definitely a Manbug in addition to whatever else you decide on.

A few results from a search on Aliexpress for the search term: military knife "JUFULE Good Price Knfe Store" pops up as a frequent offender. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-C192-Tactical-Folding-Knife-N690Co-blade-Steel-handle-Copper-washers-hunting-camping-Pocket-Survival/32818552048....

Often there are many costs to running our business that most of you are not aware of. I would like to know more about these, and am guessing I am not the only one. What would you like to know? sal Frankly I am stumped as to what I would like to know, as I do not know enough about the business side ...

I carry a Gerber EAB for this reason. Replaceable Utility Blade in a very small knife.

Any other surprising things we ELU may not know.

Forgot to mention, I have never liked the compression lock. First time I opened one, a ParaMilitary, It bit the meat of my index finger. Whenever I have given the compression lock a another chance in stores, the movements needed to disengage it do not feel particularly natural, compared to that of b...

Aliexpress seems to have eliminated Spyderco as a valid search term for the most part. Latest scan results in a single yojimbo 2 fake. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Spyderco-Yojimbo-2-G-10-Plain-Edge-Blade-Pocket-Knife-Black-C85G2/32820974188.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_10...

Sad... :mad: It was rather evil of them to even eliminate the links to them. I have had good results with Imgur, I doubt they are going anywhere, and they seem to have a stab...

Oops, Double post.

Interesting question. So interesting, and since Sal asked, I am breaking my own rule of excessive personal security to give my input. My preferences Have changed surprisingly little. I have stuck almost exclusively to Spyderco for all my folding knives, and exclusively for EDC. My first Spyderco was...
