Thanks for the review Doc, always good to read them.

Nowra! Nice place, lots to do if you're into outdoors stuff. Stayed near there for 6 months.

Also waiting for your reviews Doc!

I'd be interested in seeing your design as well. More minds on this one, the better. Image here: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9515/auctuscomplockblueprint.th.png Looks very funny, but the perspex proto wasn't actually that bad in hand. Main method of opening was to carry it tip down, then do ...

Going to need a fair bit more material than that if you're going down that path. Regarding putting the index finger hole in the blade, I tried doing a design that did that a couple of years back. Ended up useable, but it was pretty **** ugly, and there were a fair few compromises to it. Still have t...

Good question Alex. If I had to choose one, I'd probably go with a bali. That said, I can only see it creating more grief anywhere "gravity knives" are illegal, so overall I'd have to say I'd prefer to not see them on any of my knives. If I lived someplace different, then I'd probably be s...

Happy birthday guys!

As I understand thee are only about 80 pcs left to the current Swick run. We do have another Swick design with a leaf blade about 1/4" longer than the current Swick. We are considering making this model. Thoughts? sal I'd go for it. Been very tempted by the Swick a lot, but the more I've been ...

Major thread necromancy!

Out of curiosity, why bring up a 5 year old thread?

Hey, those're my renderings!!! Funny, I'd forgotten about those. And I must say, they look infinitely worse than the final design. Wonder if someone should ask if it's the version in the top or the bottom. Edit: For anyone who's interested, here's the original thread: http://spyderco.com/forums/show...

Bit late on this, but congrats on the 5K Doc! They've always been filled with useful things, here's to another 5000. :D

Cool, I've been pronouncing Terzuola the right way!

Wish I could say the same about Centofante though.

The acronym I use is: GMS MGA. I won't type out the long version since I don't think it's family friendly, but if you want, PM me for it. In short, Grid to Magnetic, Subtract. Magnetic to Grid, Add. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it's a global thing, or if it only works in the Southern Hemispher...

No pics on hand, but I've got a Black Monster, and I love it. At the risk of making you spend more money, I'd say buy it!

I'm personally not sure exactly what angle Doc and Jimd are coming from, but my take on it is this: In MMA, you *know* that you don't have to worry about broken glass, concrete or the other. In a real-life situation, you might have to, and so you train to avoid it if possible. I suppose a general si...

Last I heard it was an all Ti integral comp lock design, hopefully that's stayed the same. In the same line as the other "tanker" knives, like the Manix.

Woohoo! Been wondering about this one for some time, is it still an integral comp lock?

Wooh! Info on the Tuff: We found a maker than can make the Tuff and they're willing. There are a number of steels that canbe used, though Ed requested 3V. Pobalbly nothing before 2010. It's still on line for engineering. China buys it's Titanium like the rest of us at similar prices. That's why Tita...

Congrats, always good to learn more hands-on skills, and another congratulations on the scholarship!

I wouldn't mind seeing some FRN without any dye! I think it might make a nice effect.
