Re: Real prototype auto vallotton?

https://imageshack.us/i/pmXFUYrRj It definitely functions as an auto. I was initially bothered by the metal bar which runs the length of the handle, since the my other vallotton does not have this. You can see it in the first pic. I now realize this is the spring to open the blade. Does the prototy...

Real prototype auto vallotton?

I bought this on eBay for less than the price of a new vallotton. It was listed as a display model without box. I just received it today and noticed the blade was not centered. I tightened the pivot screw and got it centered. I decided to check the other screws and noticed one was just spinning. The...

Re: CF & S90v Manix2 XL and Yojimbo from KW

Mine wasn't super sharp but a few passes on the flats of fine stones and stropped with green compound and it's removing large portions of arm hair.

Re: CF & S90v Manix2 XL and Yojimbo from KW

I almost got a S30V YO 2 a few months back when I saw talk of CF and S90V. I'm glad I waited for this one. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jbweeks_long/Mobile%20Uploads/C360_2014-09-18-14-22-54-874_zpskdw4nvao.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jbweeks_long/Mobile%20Uploads/C360_2014-...

I own about 20 spyderco knives and have not had a problem with any of them. Last week I received a Sage 4 that was extremely difficult to operate, it seemed as if there was excessive friction on the blade tang from the lockbar. oil on the pivot and lockbar didn't seem to help. I am confident that sp...

I second the Gayle Bradley Air. it's my most recent acquisition and it's great. You get a lot of blade in a small package. The Hungarian is awesome as well.

I use my dragonfly more than any other knife and I've usually got at least 3 other knives on me. There's not much I come across in my daily use that it can't handle.

I was about to pull the trigger on a southard when I saw this. I'll probably end up getting both at some point, but the Domino is more appealing to me and it should be a little cheaper. Now I'm just hoping for an S90V Bushcraft.

Used my Dfly ZDP-189 too cut some bubble wrap at work. I was using a box cutter with a fresh blade and it was tearing more than cutting. That Dfly cut it like butter.

Awesome, I'm not a fan of flippers but if I'm going to get one it may as well be a spydie.

Spyderco Domino

Did I miss the boat on this one. I see it under new releases but it is out of stock already. I'm liking the look of this over the southard.

I also voted Zulu because it's discontinued. My second vote would go to a moran drop point as that will probably be my next purchase.

goodplace2shop on ebay is 67 Hardware in sanford, nc. they have great prices, a pretty good stock and are an authorized spyderco dealer. I like them because they are local to me, I usuall get my shipment in 1-2 days. Not sure if they'll have what you're looking for but they're worth checking out.
