Lum Chinese = James Bond
Carrying the Lum Chinese makes me feel like I'm wearing a tuxedo -- it's just impossibly elegant. I have the black ZDP version, and it's a scalpel, not a hatchet. So laser-sharp I can't imagine needing to apply enough pressure to slide up the handle. Absolutely hoping to get both the CF and large ve...

Mine just arrived and it's a beauty... I'll take some pictures when I get a chance to go outside and carve something. It did not come swimming in a bath of Linseed oil like in the Spydieguys video, but the blade and handle are very sticky. What's a good technique for cleaning the knife and prepping ...

Pity. :-( I'm an advocate of this knife and I wouldn't be if mine had stayed that way, but it really did sort itself out a few hours into ownership. To flesh out my own anecdotal experiences: I never had this problem with a Sage RIL, but I have had very similar issues with a used small Regular Seben...

Mine dd this as well, and I can't remember where I read this advice, but I just rubbed a little graphite (ie, drew with a mechanical pencil) on both the lock and the blade where the lock engages. Worked the lock a few times, it's been perfect ever since, even after cleanings that left the pivot in n...

So I cracked into a coconut tonight with the following tools: 1. Swiss army knife awl to poke out the eyes and drain the milk 2. Temperance 2 to crack the shell -- but not with the edge, with the spine, a few sharp taps around the equator 3. Atwood Prybaby to pop the meat out of the shell 4. Sage 2 ...

Just wanted to note that this thread helped me choose the T2 as my first-ever fixed blade. It's amazing. Couldn't wait until the next woods trip to break it in, so it's been serving kitchen duty for the past couple nights. From quartering fat onions to mincing garlic, it's so easy to control. Thanks...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/3865084475_b467887e6c.jpg That's actually a worst-case EDC; I work at home, so unless I leave the house it's just knife in right pocket, phone in left. The knife could be any one from my small Spydie collection; I try to give them all pocket time as I continue to...
