Spyderco Forums

May be moving from NJ to Virginia sometime in next year or too... any one know of any rules re knives I should know of? I'm assuming no place is as restrictive as NJ (except maybe NYC) so I imagine everything that is ok here would be okay there, but any VA members please let me know? Thanks... Loner...

I keep some. I never thought much about it... i think the positron is the only one I keep IN the box. The others are either thrown out or piled in a corner of a cabinet. I should probably throw them away.

Tools for the upcoming week :spyder:

Awesome old skool Seiko diver...

Native5 combo edge again...

Lonerider

Single folding knife, sometimes with multitool (the multitool is for bike stuff, allen keys, etc.)

Native5

I'll have to watch that. This serrated thing is all new!

So... got my 2nd native5. This one is half serrated and also has a dark coating. Some questions..
I've never had a serrated blade before... I like it, but how do you sharpen it?
2nd, how durable is the coating?
btw this is an s35vn version...

Lonerider

I like it I like it.

But am I the only one who thinks it reminds me of the toucan from the froot loops commercial when I was a youngster?

Lonerider

Very first serrated edge.

I don't have any on my spydercos now but at one point I did on the standard delica. The idea was it made it a little easier to pull it out when wearing gloves. I honestly think for some people it is more of a style thing. That said, I was once using my knife to cut some stuff in the woods surrounded...

The main advantage to a fixed blade in use (aside from strength etc.) seems to me to be removing the extra motion of folding and unfolding. As I found out this year when cutting cord to bundle up downed tree branches, its a pain to pull out the knife, unfold it, use it, close it, pocket it,then repe...

I like the compression lock on the little one but the wire clip is even better.

Ruby madness today with the usual bbs para3

My gosh that handle is awesome!

Wow.

RThey'll be even more likely to see it now as later today I did some filework on the clip...

Yeh the "murder stroke" is turning it around and hitting with the handle. It's risky with a sharps if it slips you can get cut. Halfswording a thrust with the point is easier I've done that into archery targets, and other inanimate targets, barehanded. On pocketknife blades... I'd be afrai...

Fair enough. And i have actually halfsworded a sharp longsword against cutting targets barehanded but never one as sharp as an ffg delica lol.
I imagine i would be reluctant to do it in any hard-use cutting, probably fine for opening boxes...
