Thanks Mike!

Hi folks, If you were stuck with only one knife, what would it be? I thought about a Benchmade D2 Nitrous, a Benchmade Mini-Griptillian, a Spyderco Endura, a Spyderco Para-Military, but have been thinking of my Becker Knife and Tool (Kabar) Necker with 1095 CV/Carbon V/50100B steel. It could take th...

Hi folks,

I am looking at a new fixed blade knife for my collection. I do not have a way, just now, of going to the store to check out a this knife and the website does not tell me. Does the Spyderco Bill Moran have a full tang?

I've heard that finding axes in garage sales, farm auctions, estate auctions are the best ways to find good ones. Because I've heard that the older axes truly the better ones I like your thinking. Going to garage sales, estate auctions and sales, and etc. are good ways to find top quality axes and ...

Get it at Walgreens. It is a carbide sharpener that has an ax sharpener built in. Does a good job.

Most handles are as strong as their liners. Blerv, you are absolutely correct. Once, a police officer and I had to perform a rescue and had to pop a small chain the process. My knife, without liners, simply flexed and did not break the chain. The police officer had a knife with liners and he popped...

It depends on the use of the knife. Is this a collectible since they are about to be outlawed? I agree with The Deacon. But, I lean toward the Caly 3.5 because it is a better slicer. I would buy the Carbon Fiber version because it is 1] handsome (it looks like a man'sknife) and 2] it is flat ( it di...

I usually use a file if they are very dull (I do not have a grind wheel anymore). But if they are not too bad, I use Tigersharp carbide. This will put a good edge on in a jiffy and is easily pocketable.

I think you will be disappointed, as have all my friends that actually use knives. The Tanto was designed to pierce armor, not as a cutting tool, per se (unless you plan on stabbing the boxes). A Warnclif or a clip point would be better. I like the Bowie style for all around use, as it has a point f...

Hi Folks! I was wondering if you all would answer a question. What scale/handle material and color do you prefer on your Spyderco folding knives, and why? For dress, I love bone. I especially love old timey looking bone. Bone (or Ram/Buffalo horn) always look good and the first thing someone will as...

If you want a knife as small as the Ladybug, take it from me, and buy the Manbug. You will love it. Having said that, the Caly3 Carbon Fiber or the Chaparral Carbon Fiber would be excellent choices. The Caly3 has full steel liners and yet is as thin as a Ken Onion Leek and the same handle length. Th...

Try Knifeworks.com as they have them in stock the last I checked.

The last knife I had to sharpen was a Forschner chef's knife that someone used to chop something. As for my carry knives, I have a leather strope and a few licks on this keeps me away from the stones and diamonds. BTW, I wish CASE would come back out with their CV Kitchen knives. That 50100-B (or 10...

I am in on the brown G-10 Calypso!

You guys should go and buy an old fashioned stove top percolator. It continuously runs the coffee brew over the grounds. I went back for that full bodied flavor that I get with no other method (even MH and Folgers taste better this way). But that is me. And, I will agree that some of those suggested...

is the spyderco tenacious a good outdoor/hunting knife i live in the deep south part ms and there is an abundance of wildlife. thoughts? The Tenacious should make a good hunting knife for deer and hogs. It has enough belly and will hold an edge. Since you live in the neck of the woods where my fami...

Hey, can your wife talk to mine? She clearly understands something mine does not. :) Lucky man. (me too)

Now I am getting excited about a dragonfly...if I can get it in colors, with steel liners, and ZDP-189 or something.

Nothing goes better with examining a nice knife than a good cup of coffee. In this age of drip coffee makers and steam and pressed coffee makers, I went back to an old fashioned percolator. I think they make the best coffee. What do you all think? As a funny aside, my wife had a party and when I put...

[quote="bdblue"]The critical element for processing a deer is .... a sharp edge. Size is secondary. Over 30 years ago I went hunting with my college roommate. He was a boy scout and carried a small backpack with his gear in it. He shot a deer and then we discovered that his hunting knife w...
