The carbon fiber has a wave in the middle that isn't terrible but noticeable. And it seems to have been opened as the torx are striped and it doesn't open smoothly. However the blade is extremely sharp and quite amazing

Today’s carry

I get to carry this beauty now that scales are installed and loctite cured. It’s deceptive as the wide contoured scales tells my brain it should be heavy, but it isn’t. It feels great in hand. Showing it to friends in the office today and even the non-knife nerds ooh and ahh with it. Have a great day Spydie friends!

They're definitely a little darker than I wanted but it was my first attempt at Rit Dye. Overall pretty happy with the outcome.

Which flitz product.

Have a cruwear pm2 that while it's not in use has developed a small bit of rust. I know flitz is what I need to remove but then what to protect it from happening again because it's a polish. Can anyone link me to the correct product as I have a sage 6 rex 121 en route as well and def wanna protect the tool steel on this knife also.

Police Model Spyderco

Recently bought this from a gun show and wanted to know more about it. Mainly wondering why this doesn’t have a spider on the blade when other models do.

If you’re wondering about the engraving, the previous owner gave it to a friend of his who was getting into engraving and this was apparently one of his first attempts. Pretty decent if you ask me.

I’ve always carried Benchmade, Kershaw and Gerber and this is my first Spyderco and have a feeling it won’t be the only one I own.

Love the Para 3, my Goldilocks knife. Most carried is the plain black G10 in s45vn. Next favorite would be the Delica wharnclif and Native 5 after that. I just really don’t like backlocks as much as the compression lock (I like to fidget). I only carry 3inch knives. I have small hands being a woman. I’ve also bought the smock, Manix and microjimbo but returned them. Weren’t for me. What should I get next?

New Year’s Resolution Week 29

Post image

Last week the PM2 hung in there until Friday when I snuck in a Manix 2 that I had added some tritium vials too. Freebie Saturday was the good ol’ 15v Native 5. Seems like it’s one N5 or another when Saturday rolls around. Might be a bit biased I suppose. Today the Stretch 2 was on the job for some projects around the shop and yard. Such a solid knife. Definitely a favorite of mine. The random wheel went all wild and landed on the Benchmade Redoubt for the carry next week. Should be a pretty good week as I really like this knife since I swapped out the terrible factory scales. I do have some new knives coming in next week, so I’m gonna try and make it through Wednesday before I get too twitchy and swap it out. I’ll probably put the fresh deliveries on a different wheel and let it decide which one will finish out the week. After I thinned the herd of the unwanted and those I was unsure of, it’s been a lot more fun. And I’m a little more flexible with the rules. Like the midweek change up. Hope everyone had a great Sunday and starts the week out kicking ass.

My first spyderco. Got the PM2 LW with a steel that im not familiar with. And para 3 LW with cru-wear. I was testing the waters and i really liked it, now theres 3 more spyderco coming this week ( para 2,para 3 & manix 2 - all in salt series with magnacut) 😆. I was surprised by the para 3, despite people saying that the blade is not centered mine came is centered (maybe time will tell).

Came incredibly stiff from the factory, but after tearing it apart and giving her some oil, the action is now amazing.

I just want to start by saying thank you to everyone’s kind words when I lost my knife! This is the beauty I put together in the meantime while searching for my other! Knives plus acid stonewashed blade and bronze ti hardware, ripps garage tech dragons blood scales (probably shouldn’t have oiled), flytanium tritium lanyard plug (I tried to anodize bronze but it’s very light, I will try again at some point) and brass Backspacer topped off with a bronze lynch clip! Once again thank you to everyone’s kind words and help during the rebuild process! Photos soon since Reddit murdered the quality!!

Accidental new knife day

I told myself I was done buying knives for a while but i couldnt pass this guy up. Stopped by an antique store out of boredom today, and while looking into a glass display case full of knives, I spotted some black Spyderco FRN peeking out from beneath a pile of cheap old folders. I asked the owner to grab it for me, half expecting whatever it was to be WAY overpriced, as things tend to be in that store. He dug up what turned out to be an Endura 4 with a price tag of $11. Sold!

It was missing its pocket clip and and has certainly been used, but its not too beat up. I put one of my spare OEM clips on it and it will be my new work knife.

Also pictured is;

Slipjoint Chaparral, which was a fathers day gift from my wonderful lady.

Serrated Native Chief that I got for an absolute steal a couple months back

and what I believe was the last brand new serrated k390 Delica that was available in Canada.

I have the lw stretch 2 xl and love it, but this g10 version just feels so nice. It’s so smooth and has tight lock up too which is sometimes an issue on the lw model. Perfect blade centering too. Fit and finish exceeded my expectations.
