Do these seem to have a thinner blade stock others reported with the burnt orange hap40's compared to the regular ffg delica/endura? I don't think it's a thinner stock....I think it might be the illusion of seeing the steel liners next to the lock bar apposed to having nested liners. I'm sure someo...

Dammit! I swore that I told myself I was was going to take a break from new knife purchases for a few weeks. I already have 3 Delicas and really don't need another one but I have a soft spot for wooden handles...especially in that color. 4th Delica for the 4th of July is how I'll justify it... How s...

Absolutely...something of the sort made in LC200N would be an obvious choice.

Love these guys!

I recently got a G&G Hawk MUDD Knife for my 40th birthday and it immediately worked its way into my rotation. It's totally different than any other knife I've handled and it brings me the same kind of joy that I get from my Spydercos, which got my thinking. Being that the Hawks and Spyderco embr...

Thanks for the update Sal. I have a feeling the finalized adjustments are really going to skyrocket the Advocate's popularity within the industry. Can't wait! All the best!

Great video! What is is about sharpening that's so calming? Sharpening is 1/2 the reason I continue to feed my knife addiction. Never got into sharpening serrations though...I might have to give it a shot and develop my own techniques now that I know there are some simple ways to get it done. I only...

Ha! I already have one that I bought a couple of weeks ago hoping there'd be a sprint that I like in this release. CRUWEAR fits the bill perfectly...

I think it comes down to blade thickness and the pocket clip. If you want a better slicer and a more discreet carry...go Sage 5. If you want something a bit more rugged that you might wear in cargos or carhartts go Para 3. I own a Sage 5 and absolutely love it...especially after some minor mods! It'...

Thanks! A lot of the aftermarket clips for the Native 5 LW don't sit on the flat portion of the FRN handle. I gave specified measurements to the maker to make sure that it did and that it wasn't an overly deep carry. So far so good!

This isn't a wire clip but the wire clip was my inspiration for hunting down this style custom clip. The fit and finish is no where near what I expected however the clip functions perfectly. Not overly concerned about th F&F because it's on a factory second knife and one of many Spydies in my ha...

I'd agree with Darby, mine smooth out a bit, but can't see wearing a piece of g-10 out in my lifetime. I never said it would wear out. I said that g10 smooths out over time. I've yet to notice any smoothing out on my cf knives. I totally agree! My Sage 5 has suprisingly become one of my go-to knive...

I started a thread a little bit ago about the possibility of getting a DLC coated all black Delica 4 FFG and I also think a blackout or at least black blade Dragonfly would be cool Absolutely! I just got a blacked out CE D4 just because I thought it looks kinda bad@$$ for a Delica! Would love a FFG...

Ugh! Code worked again for 3 more knives, all in one order. Had to get a few Salt knives...haven't tried H1 steel yet and really want to see what they're like. My buddy has a fishing boat that I'll be spending a lot of time on this summer...gotta find a way to justify my insanity :)

Thanks for the heads-up! I don't like partially serrated edges and I'm not crazy about coated blades but something about a Delica in all black always looked sweet to me! It also seems like it's another great "bumming-around-the-house" kind of knife. I just couldn't resist for a little over...

I still remember saying I'd NEVER pay over $100 for a pocket knife...then it was 200, then 300. I'm currently at $500...it only took about a year and a half to make that jump. One good thing about being a knife junkie is that I have so many now that my wife can't even tell when I have new ones.

Lots of people are quick to say things like "it's a user it doesn't effect use" etc and I'm sometimes one of those people but we pay a lot for our knives so there's no reason to feel bad if you aren't happy with one. If it was in the budget line I'd try to fix it myself by hand on my ston...

My issue with it is during sharpening. I mainly sharpen freehand. When I'm trying to get to the edge of the plunge...I use the opposite plunge line as a point of reference in order to keep the position of the edge perpendicular to the corresponding plunge grind. Does that make sense? That's the only...

Hello all! I bought a Manix 2 LW in S110V a few weeks ago and it was time to put a nice edge on it today to begin really using the knife. This is my first Manix and I was really blown away by the ergos, the weight and how solid it feels for a knife without steel liners! As I began sharpening, I noti...

Just got these in the mail today...
