Re: Help! My ZT301 is rattling!

So the guy in the first video recommends Vaseline. Is there any reason I shouldn't use Vaseline to grease it up? Just keep in mind that Vaseline is flammable. :shock: So are hot Cheetos! Can you believe people still eat them anyway? I'll keep my knife, and my Cheetos, away from any open flames.

Re: Help! My ZT301 is rattling!

I know Kershaw would service it for free, but I'd rather do it myself. I guess I'm just funny that way. As far as sharpening, my Sharpmaker takes care of that. ::groove::

Help! My ZT301 is rattling!

I'm starting to hear a rattling sound in my ZT301. I watched a video on YouTube several months ago where a guy took his 301 apart. He talked briefly about the tension bar rattling when it's loose. I figure that's exactly what is happening with my knife. If anyone has experience with this, I'd seriou...

Is this a rare feature?

I bought this Rough Rider trapper for use as a beater knife. The main blade locks, and then you have to squeeze the secondary blade to release the lock.

I have many knives, but I can't think of any other knives I've owned with a lock like this one.

Re: How to sharpen my leek ?

I'm sorry to hear about your sharpening woes. I also have a leek, the rainbow one. You're absolutely right about the thin blade. The Spyderco Sharpmaker seems like nearly the perfect tool for maintaining the leek. I wouldn't try to sharpen my leek with a flat stone. As always, don't over-sharpen the...

Here we go Spyderco friends. Went to the store, traded in four knives I did not need and picked up these two.

I talked about it with Josh in PMs but I see I never responded in this thread. Mia culpa. "The difference" I can't tell is between one model of Spyderco and another. They all look alike to me except for the occasional handle material or handle color. Maybe if I was into Spydercos like y'a...

You should pick one up Phil! I really don't think you would be disappointed. Maybe just go to your local respectable knife shoppe and try out a Paramilitary 2. You know, take it for a test drive so to speak. Then do what feels right. :wink:

My new pocket clip finally arrived yesterday! I'm not sure if pocket clips count as a pick up, but I'm posting it anyway. The black clip that ships with the Endura just doesn't fit the knife. This is much better.

Re: Are Kershaw flipper open knives legal in Pennsylvania ?

The Kershaw Nura is on sale at Knife Center right now. It has no mechanical assist. But it is a flipper, and it opens as smooth as butter on the ball bearing. It comes in 3" or 3.5" length. It can be yours for about $20. Again, check the blade length laws in your locality.

When life gives you lemons, make Spyderade.

I recently purchased a CRKT Ripple from an unnamed online retailer. I've seen mixed reviews for this knife, some good and some bad. The overall design was kind of neat and unusual. I'm a fan of flippers, so I decided to give it a try. Well, it didn't work right. The blade has no thumb stud, thumb ho...

I've found that reviews are marginally useful at best, for a variety of reasons. While we're talking, what is the button on the butt end of the knife shown ? Looks like it slides up and down. Is it some sort of locking mechanism ? That's my bad. I should have posted more pics. The slide is for adju...

Unfair reviews at Knife Center!

I just bought a Nura after watching some positive reviews on YouTube. I like it a lot. It's on sale. I only paid about $20. I figure I can beat it up without too much guilt later on. Looks like it could take it, seems sturdy enough. So I looked at the reviews, and some of them are really stupid. One...
