There's about to be 4 from you.. hopefullyCouple of those look familiar.....
Nice looking setup, man!
No, I went to pull out my 550 and realized I didn't have enuff so I'll need to get some to play around with..@Xterrorista any progress on that knife lanyard ?
This is harder than it looks. I've realized even with gutting the cord I should have ordered a smaller gauge. 550 is pretty big for a lanyard..@Xterrorista any progress on that knife lanyard ?
I mainly used 550 in the past. I can grab my callipers and give you a diameter once i get home from work. Ive also used microcord for smaller intricate designsThis is harder than it looks. I've realized even with gutting the cord I should have ordered a smaller gauge. 550 is pretty big for a lanyard..
What are you using for your lanyards?
Ok. The lanyard that I have on my esee 4 is 0.5” at its widest( 550 cord with the internals that was measured at one of the lanyard knots just before the snake knot starts). The micro cord I use is 1/16” diameterThis is harder than it looks. I've realized even with gutting the cord I should have ordered a smaller gauge. 550 is pretty big for a lanyard..

I was worrying about the oil and food. Didn't realize frog lube was foodsafe! Damnit, another list item..I strop them. If I need to put something on them, I use frog lube and set it with a hair drier. It's food safe and does wonders. I have a carbon Mora I coated 4-5 years ago. Used y it for tomatoes and camp cooking regularly and it's still rust free.
Frog Lube needs heat to liquefy and set in the metal pores. That's why they want you to fire a gun till it's warm after using it.I was worrying about the oil and food. Didn't realize frog lube was foodsafe! Damnit, another list item..
Set with hairdryer. Never heard that either, better than just wipe on, wipe off I take it?
Right?! I got on the mfg website and they don't take returns on used equipment but after the email to BladeHQ they're paying for shipment back and a full refund.Holy cow!
That's why I'm so big on ESEE. 100% no questions asked warranty. I don't worry about using them the way I did some of my other fixed blades in the past.Might be the 1st and last Spyderco I purchase.
