Looking for a folder to bring with me when I go fishing?

You want my advice? Put him on ignore. He’s trying to push your buttons, don’t feed him.

That's not great advice. He'll miss out on all my great advice!!! :D

Plus, maybe he had me on ignore with his other account and forgot to ignore me with this one. The price you pay for ditching one account for another....

Is all this really necessary? Why can’t you just keep it civil?

Please explain how I am not keeping things civil? By advising the OP not to take apart his knife because he has had issues doing so in the past? By letting other people know not to advise the OP to take his knife apart? By showing that the OP has a history of issues when taking knives apart? Frankly, he down played the fact that this issue a chronic problem by saying it was just the shaman in his last thread when in reality it is many knives. Sorry if you think presenting facts is somehow not keeping it civil.

It's not an insult to say that some people just shouldn't take stuff apart. I know I have limits on what I can and can't do. If I have trouble doing something or I don't think I can get something done correctly, I have someone else with the knowledge and skill take care of it, and that is okay. Situations where someone breaks a knife when taking it apart are exactly why spyderco had their "taking apart a knife voids the warranty" policy for so long. Just the other day, sal commented here on not understanding why people think they can take a knife apart. The OP has 6 threads on various issues with taking knives apart, the last one requiring a trip back to spyderco. I don't think it is uncivil to point out that no one wants to see a 7th.

You already know this, but if you see a problem with what someone posts, you should really report it to the moderators. Or better yet, you could always just put me on ignore ;)

OP asked for input on a specific topic. You’re clearly attempting to provoke a reaction out of him at this point. All I’m asking is that you refrain from attempts to steer this thread off track.

:rolleyes:

This is the last I'll be addressing your off topic trolling of me here. I stand by my advice to the OP to not take his knife apart. I also stand by my advice to other people not to advise that the OP take his knife part. I stand by my presentation of the facts that the OP has had numerous issues when taking knives apart as a means of evidence to support my advice that he should not take the knife apart and to show that he had not just had the one issue like he claimed. If you have a problem with my post, report it.
 
Well thank you for all the advice and help! To address this drama i will say I’ve had issues where a screw gets stripped or whatever but I’ve always been able to fix it. When I first started my old account I was using low quality torx bits that were really soft. I’ve upgraded since then and haven’t had an issue, but had a stubborn pivot screw on a shaman.

with that said, I do appreciate everyone’s tips and advice and hopefully this week I can pick up some rit dye and get it done. Doing a gradient fade from the original yellow to either green or blue...feel free to help me decide lol
 
The Spyderco Pacific Salt is a great EDC knife along with the obvious benefit for fishing.

The tip isn’t super great for piercing (for example: when you gut pan size fish) but can be made to work.

It’s incredibly light with no liners, and not having to worry about corrosion is awesome. I’ve had mine submerged for hours in saltwater with no flushing afterwards. Zero corrosion.

Also, H1 holds an edge a bit better than I expected. And it will take a polish incredibly easily.

Good stuff!

Do you know how to achieve a blue color from the yellow base?

I don't think you can. Aren't blue and yellow primary colors .

I'm not sure if you can either. I don't know all that much about dying things other than it can get complicated when you are trying to dye something that is already a certain color, into a specific other new color. One time I did a deep dive on the subject when I was trying to dye the orange on some G10 scales into a red. I really wanted to avoid getting brown, which seemed nearly impossible. The answer was using like a hot pink color. It came out fine but I learned dying things can be dicey depending on what color you are starting with and where you want to go. Pics:

Ah, a great "point" I missed because of all the drama above. ;)

I made my Pacific salt a little pointier for better piercing cuts. First pic was 4 years ago when the SE Pacific was new, compared with an unmodified PE black Pacific Salt. Then a now pic.

Any stainless will be ok in freshwater, really.

But I'd get the Spyderco Salt Wharncliffe.

Good tip / point.

red blue and yellow , yea. That doesn’t mean I can’t make a gradient from blue to yellow. The gradient will be a greenish. I’ve seen it before, it looks super awesome !
