Well this is the place! A general chat of the General Discussion forum; if you're new say "hey". No way to derail this one.
Hopefully there's enough traffic to keep this going...I know I'm not the only one who reaches the end of the forum a little too often, LOL!

I'm such a fan of the satin finish on the native 5 Rex45...

SG88: Have you started to develop a patina on your Rex45? I don't guess I've seen a picture of your Rex Native...

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
I think I tried a thread like this once and it fizzled out.
I guess if anyone knows offhand what the knife laws are like in Pennsylvania, New York State, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, we're taking a little trip to Salem in a couple weeks and I was thinking about buying a new knife to take with me, because it's as good of an excuse to buy a new knife as any right? I'll probably just carry my keychain Ladybug and maybe a Dragonfly Salt or some other small knife just to avoid any BS. The last thing I need is to get arrested 900 miles from home or have someone confiscate (*cough*steal*cough*) my knife.

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
And to add another question, I've been looking at the UKPK Salt as an option, but I'm wondering how well the blade tip is enclosed into the handle when closed compared to a Caly 3? That's my one big issue with the Caly 3, it doesn't take much sharpening to push the edge far enough up the blade to expose the blade tip when closed. Since these knives are so similar to the Caly 3 this will be a deal breaker.

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Salem and Boston have a 2.5” limit. I grew up in Beverly/Salem. Spent a lot of time riding my bike around the witch museums as a kid. Enjoy your trip.
I spend a lot of time in New York, New Hampshire and Mass and carry whatever I want. New Hampshire has no knife laws. Massachusetts and New York are very confusing. You might want to Google those. Mass is funny about a bunch of stuff like assisted openers and waves. Cops in NY and MA don’t play games. I have lived in both states for many years.

I had never thought to look, but the UKPK is significantly more recessed...
So it goes.
Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
If you are going to Salem Massachusetts you better carry something with a 2 & 1/2 inches or less. Massachusetts has some of the most draconian knife and gun laws in the entire USA. Seems rather strange that some of those east coast states are like that because that's where the founding fathers started this country for the most part.Evil D wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 2:31 amI think I tried a thread like this once and it fizzled out.

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Speaking of under 2.5"...would the Reinhold Rhino qualify with it's 2.6" of cutting edge in a 2.37" blade? Also, does anyone have a Rhino with a Lynch or MXG clip, and if you do, do you like the Rhino? I wasn't interested when they were released, but David's question had me looking at it again, and I'm intrigued...

I'm pretty sure the law measures from the handle itself and includes any choil as part of the blade. I think even the UKPK is too much for comfort but those pics did help. I'll probably get one eventually but not for this trip.
I'm once again finding myself wishing that the Bug knives came in a SE version, or if there was a SE Ladybug slip joint. It seems ridiculous to get in trouble for a locking blade the size of a Ladybug but that's the world we live in I guess.

For a great, now free, reference to knife laws, I highly recommend the Legal Blade Smartphone app. It used to be a paid app that benefited KnifeRights.org. Then Blade HQ sponsored its update and made it free. It covers all categories of knives and addresses state preemption (where the state law takes priority) and situations where municipal laws are stricter than state laws--like Boston.
Very handy and easier to navigate than Google searches, which may turn up outdated information or inaccurate guidance from Internet wizards.

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Hmmm, I recently sharpened my HH UKPK to 15dps. I didn't even think to check that, now I'll have to take a look when I get home.
David, what area of NY are thinking...NYC area? If you're venturing towards central NY, I wouldn't really worry about what you're carrying.

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
I hate patina, so whenever I use this knife for yard work I wipe it down with alcohol after. That satin finish is so pretty. I rarely ever use a pocket knife on food, I prefer using kitchen knives for that.

I completely understand. For blades that I want ZERO corrosion on, I have had really good experiences heating the blades (heat gun, hair dryer, toaster over, etc...) to where they are just HOT to the touch and then coating them liberally with Frog Lube Paste, letting it dry and then thoroughly wiping off any excess.
I've had zero corrosion issues when doing this versus just wiping and applying at room temperature. Not to mention the actual lubricating properties when applied correctly...I'm a big fan of Frog Lube, LOL! Food safe, yada yada...
So it goes.
Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Is the Sage 5 the smaller Manix? I mean you have Delica - Endela - Endura and Chief - Native & Lil’ Native.
I love the Manix XL and Manix and want the smaller version (lock type is not a concern).

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Yeah, it kind of is...(cue the Manix diehards). Especially if the CBBL is not the draw for you. I think the Sage has one of the most refined handles in the Spydie catalog and deserves as much discussion as the Para3 & N5.
If you are wanting a 3" blade, and love the Manix I think you would do well to pick up any of the Sages.
So it goes.
Re: Random: General Spydie Chat
Native 5 is a better mini manix for me than a Sage... I bought the sage 3 hoping for a true mini manix and it's just a totally different animal IMO

The Rhino is legal to carry in Boston. Fortunately in this case, cutting edge does not equal blade length.Airlsee wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 5:37 amSpeaking of under 2.5"...would the Reinhold Rhino qualify with it's 2.6" of cutting edge in a 2.37" blade?

I do not have a deep carry clip on the Rhino but I like the knife a lot. It's mostly a three finger knife for me but I still really like how it feels in hand.
