Quote HistoryI guess if it ruffles too many feathers, I'll just call it smoked chicken instead, but I've done several chickens and even more chicken parts (wings and hindquarters) and it's always very tasty. |

How can all the aftermarket makers pull off micarta scales that don't break with nested liners but spyderco cant? |

I know the aftermarket micarta scales I got for mine required me to fiddle with the screws and pivot to get it centered and easily opened, so it might just be they dont want to deal with people bitching. I'm also a sa.ple size of 1, so take that into consideration. |

It doesn't matter so much for bushcraft which knife you use so long as you take lots of pics and spend more time writing about it than actually doing it. |

How can all the aftermarket makers pull off micarta scales that don't break with nested liners but spyderco cant? So far all they've said is the canvass micarta isn't rigid enough for them. It is curious that aftermarket guys do it but they won't, I wonder if it's because of the way they make a bunch of scales at once or they're worried about long term durability |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: That blade finish is awesome, and it looks great overall. I guess the thing with the removable flipper is for Euro countries where regulations require two hand opening only. Then again you probably knew that though.... That was the whole concept with the TRE - you could put on or take off parts to suit what was allowed in the countries you were traveling to etc.. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense, especially for a Euro maker. Really opens up the market for a particular knife. |

No issues with the RGT (from WIC). It centered up nicely, action is great, and they are nested nicely. If I pinch it hard in the middle there is a little flex but nothing off-putting or that you would notice in use. It is progressive - it will give a little but firms up quickly and you can't squeeze it past that.
 (didn't get it lined up quite right for the pic - it is actually slightly closer to the right side)
