Re: Spyderco Collaborators You Would Love to See Again?
Sal has a fixed blade of mine in a drawer somewhere, Butterscotch G10 scales and a smaller profile from what I have submitted before, but there is a loooooong list.

Re: Chasing Ghosts: The effect of edge aggression between steels.
Geometry decides ease of cutting...
Steel type AND HT decides length of cutting time...
Micro-serrations type and size decides the aggression...
Imagine a serrated cast dendritic blade...

I am honoured that you chose a Sustain to be a gift to your nephew!
You are a wise man to include a lot of info about metallurgy, safety and piece of mind, especially when dealing with the laws of the land.
Does he also live in Illinois?

Re: The Pre-Diver, Dive Probe, and Mini-Probe!
The Probe was always one I regret the most about passing on a new one in Barry's Blades in Durban South Africa... It cost twice what an FRN Endura cost at the time... I might source a second hand Salt blade of some sort and make one for me... :) I have Ti plate, so the rust problem should be negliab...

Re: A Month Without Spyderco: Thoughts & Observations
Apart from when I have had to enter restricted places, I have always had a knife of some sort on or near me in a backpack etc. Obviously airplanes have had me place an edge or two in hold luggage. If I am entering a restricted place, I normally leave the edge in my vehicle and so I never have to &qu...

Re: Is this the patent for an existing model?
I like it!
Especially with the TEETH!
Call it FSK...
Folding Steak Knife...
Seriously, back locks are the hardest to make accurately, so I am guessing a premium model in the making?

Re: Hey sal:
Basic Tools did make a model or two called the Silver Falcon, and also for Camillus. I know someone who worked for them, hence my info. Back in RSA, I saw a BST trademark and Silver Falcon on the same folder blade, and the scale had a small brassy type medallion of some sort. But I stand to be corre...

Re: Canada's knife laws just cost me almost $400.
Here in NZ a few years ago, you could ask the assorted airports if you could but any confiscated "tools". I was GIVEN a shoe box with scissors of all sizes, knitting needles, hairbrushes, combs, Bandaids ( ?) 6 inch plastic rulers, and one knife: a Gas Station Special... the plastic rulers...

Re: Has Spyderco ever made a Spoon?
Imagine the Forum six months from now? My Spyoon will not hold an edge. What am I doing wrong? When will the PDZZ-2028 model be out? Which angle is the best for eating coconut? Is anyone else's Spyoon corroding? I only use mine for eating Himalaya Salt Blocks. When will Spyderco offer Micarta scales...
