Anyways... Sorry to hear they are falling on hard…"

I got caught - Knockoff Spyderco Knife
Started this discussion. Last reply by dead_left_knife_guy May 11, 2023. 2 Replies 1 Like
I do not have many Spyderco knives at all, and was surprised to see a relatively inexpensive one at my local guns shop. It did not have what I have come to view as a trademark thumbhole in the…Continue

"I tend to click on these sponsors ads fairly often as well. In fact I recently ordered a second knife from TSA and am waiting on its arrival.
TSA and Knife Magazine are the two sites I tend to gravitate toward.

"Here are a few combinations that I have identified.
The three types of handles are: stacked leather discs, stacked leather discs with spacers, and two-piece wooden handles. The two shorter blades seem to be the only ones that had the option of…"
EGW (Ezra G. Waterman) Knives
Good Afternoon!Supposedly one of the 'popular' private purchase knives in WWII, was the EGW knife.I stumbled across these recently, and have tried to learn what I can of them, and it seems that there were several models, or types. Of course I have not been able to get a good description of each model or type.So far, I have learned that there were at least 3 (maybe 4) blade lengths, three styles of handles, four styles of notches, and the ricasso markings were also varied. I believe that the…See More
"Continuing Craig's little tune...
♫ Let me tell you a story about a man named Craig,
He kept buying knives. Couldn't keep his family fed.
Then one day as he was taking his kids to school,
When beside the road he glimpsed a shiny…"

I got two! "

Kept some of the patina on the blade and certainly upgraded those scales. I am liking it. :)"
"409K Saturn. 2001
Jade just recently got her Subaru (2011 Outback). I think it only has 168K or so."
"Oh dude...so sorry to hear this. I know how much such issues can take vital resouces such as money and time away from life's real priorities...like knife shopping, knife restoration, bay research (that's short for "bayonet" for…"
"Cause of my recent absence: I have been (still am) wrenching on my car recently, Pre cat clogged up. Hopefully getting a replacement today"

Featureddead_left_knife_guy replied to Kevin D's discussion New Kiridashi in the group BOX FULL OF KNIVES
"Whatever the raw materials were, you clearly worked it brilliantly!
On another note, iKC just might need a kiridashi group..."
"Oh very nice! I think it's safe to say that no matter what the perceived quailty of the knife or tool is, it just seems to work and perfrom better when it's all cleeaned and prettied up. Particularly if you're the one who put in the…"

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...
I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!
Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
