A classic tactical knife. Terzuola wrote the book on the subject: The Tactical Folding Knife . The first designer to collaborate with Spyderco. His Starmate is the classic tactical knife. Where's the love? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/314Y3LYHw1hFwRatiL7Xfw5xhePFL921W8hY711HO576_u43CCjWvLk_P2K...

From what i have read and heard, Bob Terzuola/Spyderco was first "labeling" a folder Tactical. Also, someone please enlighten me exactly what is tactical, or even the purpose of Szabos "****, i dozed off at the grinding wheel" spine?! Does it have any advantage at all? To me it ...

No, but the point is still valid. A Mustang with candy apple paint job and old school chrome reverse rims would be a nice option, but it wouldn't (shouldn't) put Shelby owners panties in a bunch :) Same with a Spyderco knife that regardless of configuration runs parallell to both stockers and sprin...

Which Centofante are we talking about? I have 5 different ones :) I guess the only one that's still in production. That's right, the Memory is disco'd.. Personally i find the only drawback with the Centofante 3 is when i forget it's not a Delica and flick it closed stopping the blade with my index ...

Fiberglass muffler baffle wrap for motorcycles. Child safe knife in under an hour..

Looks and super solid feeling-wise, the 4
Action is a tie between 3 and 5 possibly (judging by my own, the 3 edges out the 5)

I think the video (thanks for taking time to make it) and this forum both answer a lot of "why" questions as well as ask a lot of "why not" ones :) On my yearly pilgrimage to Amsterdam i experience both why's and why not's and it is a unique thing to be able to speak to Eric and ...

Sooooo, I've been tempted for a while to get my hands on this : https://meranom.com/image/cache/data/vostok-watches-Amphibian-Classic/420306/2416-420306-Vostok-Amphibia-1-max-900.jpg Honestly, that's a good looking watch They are really cool, but the precision is a bit .. LADA-like. I'd say for a c...

Custom shop already exists ... for distributors.

Good point! :)
Too bad i don't know what to do with the spare 599 knives should i decide to order

I don’t want to see a custom shop. I don't think anyone would force you under gun threat to buy a custom shop Spyderco.. :) I couldn't care less about the Tropen, but fair play to those who love it. Who am i to say "It's a ugly knife that brings nothing of value to the table" I'll just st...

Cars aren’t knives. No, but the point is still valid.

Didn't you mean C174 for the Double Bevel and not C35?

Of course, my bad! Will edit :)

I had this one customised. It came out so nice i am thinking of a da capo with a fancier model.

The more I think about it the more I just don’t like it. Spyderco isn’t a boutique knife shop open to all customer whims. Their knives are designed for a reason that isn’t based on mainly increasing the bottom line. They produce for example a limited run of PM2s with burnt orange scLes and Rex45 st...

I’ve had my eye on ...

Hahahaha! I love it, Bloke. That will look sweet with my leather pants and vest.

I wonder if it will give you a discount in Blue Oyster bar :D

Below are all (to my knowledge) the Terzuola collab models. They were:
C15
C19
C55 (Mk1 and MkII)
C131
C174

If it as up to me i'd have a go, starting with one model to test the waters. I also can't see how it would be so/too hard to have choices preventing the knife to mimic an existing sprint run. A simple addition of "C.S." on the blade stamp would keep "fake sprints" from the market.

For me, the ultimate micarta knife would be a Military with micarta crafted from old M65 uniforms. The ultimate homage to all who served. Second i'd love more white micarta (or polished G10) far too few white handled knives around! And please, all of you who get your knives dirty - c'mon, you have l...
