Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?

Hi there, Monterey Bay! Lived there for years, near Watsonville. Unfortunately got sucked down into the big, bad southland. Hope you find your nearby enthusiast!

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
Hey Michael,
I'm a bit further North, but I had a really pleasant conversation with the proprietor at Monterey Bay Knives a few years ago. He had a great example of the Lum Tanto that he was kind enough to show me + let me play with.
I'm sure you've been, but might just be worth another visit!

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Have you been to MBK yet? He is a cool cat and is the best knife purveyor in the central coast.Laphroaig9 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 9:18 pmIf you live on the Monterey Bay area and would enjoy having a fellow knife collector/enthusiastic, I'd love to meet you!

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
I will be in San Francisco tomorrow and driving down to Pinnacles on Sunday. I have a large group flying out there to visit some of the National Parks in California.
Unfornately, we will be moving as fast as green grass through a goose. We have several parks to see in only 12 days, so we can wave as we pass by.

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
Skip the pinnacles and spend time in Big Sur or more time in Yosemite. Pinnacles is not exciting and will be super hot. Lots of people get heat related illness there due to hiking in the heat and not being acclimated.JSumm wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 5:39 amI will be in San Francisco tomorrow and driving down to Pinnacles on Sunday.

Personally I would, but I am with some family members that need to check off every national park or face the wrath of the universe.

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
I just bought one ! First non Spyderco knife in a very long time and I'm really pleased. Has weird marking on the cladding like a patina, but except this its just fantastic!TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 8:07 amGreat knives from Monterey Bay Knives!

Pinnacles is a national monument and not a national park. Good luck!

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
I tried to convince them to skip it. It is however a national park. It was upgraded in 2013 and became the 59th National Park.

Re: Any Spyderco Enthsiasts on the Monterey Bay?
I went to Palma High School in Salinas - 82-86. Moved that summer back to Georgia. Lived in a subdivision across from Toro Park. My 1st real job was at the McDonalds in Monterey. My Mom worked a newspaper called Coasting out of Carmel. Carmel is also where I bought my 1st Spyderco - a Harpy.
Beautiful area, but I'm glad I moved. If I'd have stayed I'd of either ended up dead or in prison.

The peninsula and everything south is gorgeous. It’s a little slice of heaven. It’s expensive though.
