True. I love bolsters, but hate visible screws on them. I used to own Navaja, Delicas and recently Schempps Bowie. All of them gone for various reasons, still have few Persians, Kopas and Caly3. Sorry, no pictures. I am really crappy photographer. :otvenuto wrote: I know people have mixed feelings about the bolsters, and even "bolster people" are split on the visible screw issue.

Ha just a few Persians and Kopas, indeed! No doubt there are many in spydieville who are jealous of that remark.bh49 wrote:True. I love bolsters, but hate visible screws on them.

Also torn, the Kris is by far the best looking, but if it developed blade play there would be no fix, as you mention. I think that in general I prefer a non bolstered knife, but in the case of a higher end user, it adds a cool aesthetic touch.Evil D wrote:I'm torn on the screw issue myself. I can't deny that they look better without visible screws, but I love having an adjustable pivot. If nothing else I wish they would go the extra mile and use some flush fitting screw heads instead of the standard domed head screws. If you compare that Kriss to the other two it's immediately obvious.

That stretch is probably one of the coolest spyderco pieces out there. I'm not a stretch fan, but if it came in that configuration I would own one. In fact, if I could get spyderco to make me one fully custom knife, it would probably be an R with a similar treatment. Thanks for sharing!
All, except the Micro Dyad. It's from Seki.
While they certainly do affect the balance, I don't believe they are used on folders, in the same way as kitchen cutlery. Pure aesthetics.kennethsime wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 10:01 pmIn a culinary knife, I know that a bolster may be used to affect the balance of the knife.
I the same true in folding knives? Forgive my ignorance, the last bolstered knife I used was a Buck 110 knockoff made by Schrade I had as a kid.
