Another old school, long time Forum member is celebrating another year on planet earth. Our good Brother defenestrate has seen a lot since he has become a citizen of Spyderville. I like him because he agrees with me most of the time :cheap-sunglasses So...
I bought a Brisa hiker and the handle is nice and round but the plastic is smooth. Do they make a spray on rubber coating or did I dream that? I know one can use grip tape also but I always like the Mora rubber handles for grip
He is a Forum member I just call Zero and he goes by the Forum name ZrowsN1s . He has been on the Forum for quite a while now and is truly one of the better contributors here at Spyderville. Well today is his Birthday and we get to join in his...
Hi guys
been off the forums for a long time and just passed by to check how's the forum been. I don't see much by The Deacon? who has in my opinion one of the most interesting replies and topics and allot of knowledge on Spyderco and the world. Hope he is...
I’ve been wanting to get into a little higher end knives a bit (but still realistically affordable). I’ve been looking at Quiet Carry, Chaves and CRK’s mostly. After having my Spydiechef and Techno 2 I’ve really grown to love titanium scales and the fit...
I was wondering does anyone here have any experience with the Boker’s special editions like the damascus ones made from WW2 Tanks ?
They are rather expensive for being Boker’s and since those are one of the few boker’s still made in Germany i wonder if...
During WWII many soldiers carried a Ka-bar for a variety of tasks; today knife enthusiasts have a plethora of quality options that will fill the same roles.
If you were transported back in time to serve in a 20th century war, or you were placed in a...
You Helped Get It Moving! Let’s do it again! Knife Rights’ bill that would repeal Washington’s ban on “spring blade” (automatic) knives,SB 5860, was voted out of the Senate Committee on Law & Justice. Thanks to all of you who signed in to support the bill...
The Nontron bears the name of the village that saw it born. His story is so long that it is even difficult to date his birth. However, specialists agree that this Périgord knife is the...
Anyone use any of these? I've sort of been toying with the idea of learning to shave with a straight razor. However, a good one, plus gear, is very costly. So, I've been eye balling a Feather Artist Club razor to learn with so I can see if I really want...
I thought I had asked this before, but I can't find it.
What do you all think of the Buck Saunter? The standard version has 154CM and Micarta. There is a marble carbon fiber with S35VN. Anyone have one of these?
Knife Rights’ bill that would repeal Washington’s ban on “spring blade” (automatic) knives, SB 5860 , is set for a hearing Monday before the Senate Committee on Law & Justice. Sponsor Sen. Phil Fortunato has requested that we encourage our folks to sign...
With the recent retirements of Roy Williams, Mike Kryzezk- Coach K, Jim Boeheim, & Jay Williams - now Nick Saban retires & if that ain't bad enough, it certainly looks as if Bill Belichick & the Pats will part ways. And, I wouldn't be suprised if...
Been wanting one for quite a while now.
Does anyone else have one?
From what I've read, it has the best flipping action out there now.
I got the DLT exclusive Bronze Anodized Drop Point
I've been looking at different knives available in MagnaCut and it seems the Deka is the cheapest. The reviews on the steel seem mixed with some liking it and others saying the HT wasnt optimal. Is there anyone with a MC MT and a MC Deka that could...
Just curious what other forum members like for knives not made by spyderco, one of my personal favorites besides SAKs is this Mikov 241 predator in n690, I’ve always thought lever locks were super cool and this was my first auto and holds a special place...
This is my 1st ever Busse Combat Team Gemini.
Its a Light Brigade version. It is used. Has been stripped. But, professionally stripped by AZTimT - his stripitition finish. Has a convex edge and, I love it.
Really didn't think I would like more than my...
It's true. If a chore doesn't excite me, it's liable to get pushed down on the list of priorities. Flattening stones is one of those things. The overwhelming majority of my sharpening is on CGSW diamond matrix stones. They don't dish much, so that's not a...
In the past 3 years I've been looking for natural type remedies to hopefully promote better health. With the past pandemic we've had to fight I've been checking out different types of healthy supplements. Now that I've hit the big age of 70 I'm really...
The doomsday clock has been moved forward by The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to 90 seconds before midnight, the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been. ( For my part I am dusting off some ancient 1960s-vintage thoughts about surviving...
In online comments, especially on YouTube, it’s common for people to say (for example): “I miss the ‘70s (or the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘80s, ‘90s, you name it). If I had a time machine, I’d go back to then and never come back.”
I don’t get steels like 1095. Why are so many hunting, camping, hiking knives made from this steel? It’s not tough and it doesn’t have good edge retention so I just don’t get it.
I have enjoyed reading the posts and please tolerate a beginner hoping not to embarrass myself.
I want to get better at sharpening using and caring for my grandfathers knifes.
My grandfather was a butcher in slaughterhouses in NYC. We were very close and...
