I’ll admit to finding it a little uncomfortable, though, not least because it’s so hard for me to imagine those sorts of circumstances occurring here. YMMV, as they say. Hard to imagine? You yourself referred to Osborn-Brooks. Plenty of burglaries in the UK. Plenty of outright home robberies* in so...

I have the original. Very cool knife and atypical for Spyderco in a few ways. Doesn’t look like it’d be ergonomic but I find it comfortable. As mentioned, it’s way heavy. If I were in charge, it’d be rerun with Ti instead of stainless , and I’d eliminate the back half scale. I also might make it 30...

In a castle doctrine state, If they find you invited the person into your home in order to kill them, or are gaming the system in some other way, then you'll get charged. There will also be cases where the perp's family will make them out to be a good boy despite them having a record. And yes, cast...

Here, in your own home, probably not, on the basis of a fairly recent pensioner vs burglar (deceased) case. Are you referring to the Osborn-Brooks case? I remember following the case. What happened was horrible for the pensioner and what happened afterwards was not pretty either. Not only did he ge...

Big fan of the PPT. Well, Im a fan of most knives, that Perrin has a hand in designing. The other two involved are quite accomplished as well to say the least. The PPT is a good slicer but some wont like the weight, as others have stated Amazing, how spoiled we are with quality light weight folders ...

In honor of this thread, I am EDCing my ZDP dragonfly 2 today, and I have swapped my normal Ladybug (HB salt) for my ZDP one (which normally sits in my desk drawer). :)

Ill break out the Caly in honor of the most excellent ZDP :D

Do V-Toku2 users leave the edge slightly 'toothy' or smoother, more polished?

I might prefer the former.

I honestly hope this isn't a one-and-done sort of affair with this steel. The Endura in vtoku is one of those knives I got to try out the steel but has unexpectedly become my most carried knife for the last 3 months. This steel is just so easy and fast to strop back to a hair popping edge it’s craz...

I said it before and I’ll say it again, the soft cladding that scratches even before you use it has to go. I use my VG 10 Delica at work every day on cardboard. It is scratched, and I don’t mind, but NOTHING like what that SUS whatever would be. Even for a workhorse knife. Don’t like it. I dont min...

Not really user knives. Why not? I hope scratches dont keep you from using a knife. I feel a knife shouldn’t be tore up from cutting up boxes within the first 5 minutes. Just my opinion of course. I hope it hasn’t offended you. :) Not offended at all. Cant see, why I would be. You are pretty entert...

I use dangler clips on a couple of small folders but dont have any knives with carabiners directly mounted to them (I have sheath knives on which I sometimes hook a carabiner to the sheath dangler strap for convenience). My Leatherman Skeletool CX has a carabiner on it. For what its worth, I never u...

What I like is a premium steel that I can get to a hair whittling edge using only my Sharpmaker medium, fine & ultrafine stones, and a 1 micron diamond loaded strop. I tried to do this with ZDP-189, but just couldn't seem to. If I need to use diamond rods or stones, I'd rather find another stee...

Why not?

:D :D :D

Patina and scratches are part of the charm.

A very vile Marxist

Are there any other kind? :D

Ooops, politics.

As far as I know SF did not have fires and earthquakes on those two dates. They has a crime riddance program. I thought you referred to something like this: "On May 4, 1851, the anniversary of the City’s second great fire, the sixth great fire started. It was estimated that more damage as done...

I don't hear anyone saying either is their favorite steel.

Well, you are dealing with knife nerds here. Some have several steel favorites.

ZDP-189 is one of my favorite steels in the Spyderco line.

I do believe in the old adage “power corrupts... etc”. When you carry a weapon, you are carrying power of life and death. The overwhelming majority clearly past the test of avoiding corruption, but as in any test, some will fail. And there are laws in place to deal with those who fail. Murder, atte...

I'm really scratching my head as to why you think that I'm making up a falsehood or fabricating something that is not accurate :confused: ....... I'm sorry I just don't get what you're saying and why you don't think I'm being truthful because I am being truthful and accurate. You are understandably...
