Joe, I'm not an expert eBay user. I filed a claim with paypal. Would you happen to know how to file a separate complaint with eBay? When you call PayPal they will get eBay directly involved. eBay owns PayPal. You may have to have multiple communications with PayPal. I did find they were very helpfu...

Go after him hard with eBay and Paypal. Also, if you used a credit card via Paypal dispute the payment with your credit card company. Make Him Feel Your Pain. SOB!!!

Welcome to for forum, occidio! With the exception of damage caused by dropping or chipping the white rods should outlast most casual knife owners who choose to sharpen their own knives. The Grey/Brown rods will wear on the edge and will eventually need to be replaced once the flattened corner no lo...

Fit and finsh seems poor. Unlike any other spydies I've ever seen. Already contacted the seller. This puppy is going back to where it came from. Shucks... It's too bad :( ..... I and the few other guys have mechanically good knives. But if I were you I would do exactly what you are doing. Return th...

I have both. When I go into New York City, which is real restrictive about knives, I end up using the Bob T more than the UKPK. As others have mentioned the Bob T has a really nice feel, look and it's has black CF scales (sweet), I also like the long drop point very much. In terms of opening and clo...

For EDC G10 scales or FRN, both great grippy and functional knives.
For show SS Etched, just beautiful.

Far from useless, it's a wonderful knife if you're willing to live with its quirks. I apologize for the words "useless" it is a useful knife. But I think that ergonomically it was one of the precursors of much better Spyderco knives. My hands are pretty small yet the cut outs for the fing...

I keep a cheap Cold Steel Roach Belly in the kitchen, and use it to cut vegetables, fruits, etc. One time I noticed some discoloring marks on the blade that I could not wipe them off using a dish washing sponge. I then tried my trusty rubbing alcohol and the marks came right off. Just something for...

Is Flitz abrasive as a polish? Do you find that it can rub off the original texture of the steel or the laser engraving?

Don't hold your breath about NY P40. I live here too BTW. the only issue in NYS would be "high cap magazines" and "assault weapons"-would not be covered by this ruling. Also NYC allows handgun ownership as much as a PITA as it is. Don't see much changing bout that. P.S. Are you ...

No Nothing was put on the blade.
And, the knife was only used as an EDC for a week, but had not cut anything other than a few thick strands of nylon rope.

Interesting pics, blade looks nice. Can't help but notice what looks like a step between the full blade thickness and secondary bevel. I don't know if it's just the lighting and shadow or not. Has it been modified? Just curious, might be a light trick on the eyes. Never had any oxidation problems w...

I've haven't had any staining on my manix 2. but I guess its possible. You should post a picture of your polished blade. Forgive my photography, no photo booth (for lighting), no PhotoShop (for tweaking). If you use cap cod cloth you have to be careful because it's so strong it can actually rub off...

Are you talking rust, dark grey areas, or something else? I've had dark grey areas form on VG-10, S30V, and ZDP-189. The blade of my CF Stretch looks almost like a two-tone grey camo most of the time. Deacon, I am talking about what can best be described as dark speckles, not rust. And general dark...

154CM Staining and Tarnish Issues

I posted this in a thread, but I think this question was misplaced and deserves it's own thread. Have other people experienced this with 154cm? A few nights ago I was fooling around with my Manix 2, blade type 154cm. as luck would have it, I fell asleep with the CLOSED knife in my hand. I woke up a ...
