Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Spyderco isn't such the economical deal anymore. Prices are losing reality and look to be funding another yacht. https://forum.spyderco.com/download/file.php?id=51263&t=1 *not that having a yacht or 10 is not a worthy endeavor, but rather getting the extra yacht at the expense of your customer base. Really, I'm serious. Which ones do you think are the best investments right now? |

Nobody is and that’s a problem not solely in the knife world but everywhere. Inflation is destroying affordability. My gripe with spyderco is that they were the good deal knife company. You got a lot for your money. Now not so much and in some cases you’d be better off avoiding them entirely. So now what? Must one go to the Chinese makers to get value in their knives under a certain budget? I do t want to do that, but I also refuse to spend what spyderco thinks they’re worth. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Made 5+ quarts of marinara yesterday, and six pints of pickled green beans today. Still have enough for two or three more pints, or maybe just freeze some more. 25 lbs. of Romas, strained and then cooked down by about 1/3. Seemed like a lot of work (time, more than work, really) for 5 quarts of sauce, but it turned out very good. Recipe called for 4 cups of fennel bulb, but I couldn't find that anywhere, so we could probably have gotten another quart of sauce if we had that. Picked up a Buck Onset for nearly half the new cost. As a kid, Buck was what you wanted for a "good" knife, so I wanted to try it out. S45, G10, frame lock, bearings. Pros: very comfortable handle, the grind is good, blade stock is on the thin side, detent and action are on point, clean lines, excellent pocket clip. Cons: blade's a bit short; lockbar tension is on the high side and access to it is very tight; has a bit of side to side play when not locked but I haven't tried to tweak the pivot yet and it's solid when locked up; steel, not titanium, for the lock side handle; overpriced. Overall it's a nice looking user grade knife that is perfectly functional and pretty ergonomic but doesn't really do anything better than many other knives, and has a couple minor to medium flaws. It's not worth what they sell it for at retail, for sure, but it's a nice enough knife if purchased used. https://i.imgur.com/OXlnQ9Y.jpg I like the realistic review . Its helpful. And rhats a seriously legit amount of marinara to carry into the winter |
