MaNcEr/Casiopeia: I'm with dialex & shards - the best option is to figure out what the kid wants to steal from your collections and get him that so he doesn't have to... Regarding the SS Pro-Grip C13: I actually just picked one up today at the Spyderco factory outlet and it is a sweet deal at th...

>>How do I get hold of "Forum" knives?<< I'd like to know the secret, too! AFAIK, there are basically 3 ways: 1) Be a part of the official thread in question (i.e. started by Sal) when the ideas for a particular knife are being thrown around. I haven't caught one yet, but from the ones I'v...

Wow, what a lucky kid! My vote would be for the Native III because as you said, it's light and grippy, has a great general purpose blade shape, and just looks cool. For what seems to be about the same street price as the Pro Grip FRN, you also get (in my opinion) a little bit better steel with the V...

Once again, Ted: You rule! Thanks for the sweet video! (Of course, you probably just budgeted out another $100USD of my hard-earned cash for the Fly, and triple that for the hospital bill while I'm learning to mimic Fred...but thanks!) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle bo...

Are you alternating back and forth with your sharpening strokes, or are you sharpening one side until you get a burr, then switching to the other side? I find that I have better luck with keeping the bevels even if I alternate side to side instead of trying to do one side at a time. Another possibil...

jim: Experiencing lock failure is definitely a valid reason to be wary of the ball lock! (I hope you weren't injured!) I think you are right that there are still some bugs to be worked out. As with any new technology, it always seems to take a while to get to the "sweet spot" where all the...

Jim: To expand your suggestion, maybe you should state what it is you don't like about the ball lock. Personally, I really like the ball lock. I like the smooth and quiet locking action and it feels rock solid. IMHO, it also makes it a little easier to close the Dodo with one hand than a lockback be...

Ken Onions' Kershaws w/ speedsafe are fun. Don't think I'll ever afford one of his customs though...

Awwww...how cute! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

That'll teach 'im, Casiopeia!

I am also a "light nut". I carry lots of different stuff depending on my needs. My favorite all-around versatile light is the EternaLight EliteMax LED light because it is fairly bright, can run for 1200 hours in regulated mode, has several cool and useful beacon and stobe effects (since it...

Great info, Mike. Thanks!

All good points so far. To be sure, accidentally flicking your knife across the room in a bad situation would cost you a lot more than the 1/2 second you'd lose by opening it in a safer manner. And I won't be practicing this technique with my collectors edition knives. It sure is quick and fun, thou...

This question is sort of two-fold: I prefer the speed and motor simplicity of inertial openings (as demonstrated in Michael Janich's videos), but I am curious to know what people's opinions are as to whether this technique might damage a knife's locking mechanism over time. (I'm talking about any qu...

Hi bob, welcome to the forum!

To post pics, there are 2 boxes below the box where you enter your message where you can browse to the picture files on your computer.

If it doesn't work for you, you can email me the pics and I'll try to post them...

Hey Ted - See if you can access these web sites: <a href="http://www.networkscom.com/html_sections/clients/index.asp">http://www.networkscom.com/html_sections/clients/index.asp</a> This the the hosting company that does the Spyderco site... Whoops...I thought those business logos were link...

Wow, that's obnoxious. Sounds like you are right that it's some bizarre routing issue where you're disconnected somewhere along the path that connects your ISP to the Spyderco server across the ocean. My guess is that you would also have trouble reaching any other site that was hosted by whatever pr...

That's odd...perhaps there is a problem with the DNS server(s) you are using with your home ISP? To test it, try using the Spyderco IP address. Instead of http://www.spyderco.com , try http://66.7.128.116/ That's the IP that works for me. Insterestingly, the servers listed in the "WHO IS" ...

Thanks for looking out for the less fortunate among us, Ted! You are a gracious and merciful man. Fantastic photos. I really really really want one of those Penknives...!

Wow. I think I smell another forum knife project!!!
