Spydercos are box opener childish idea cliff

Per Cliff Stamp: "They are awesome, they will cost $385 for the large and $330 for the small."


Great, now I need to come up with another $385. How do I convince my wife that we must have a Tactical Spork???? Will they be available in different colors in order to match her wardrobe?

By the way, this thread has resulted in another Spyderco being added to my collection. Forgot how cool the Kiwi is...can't wait for the UPS guy :cool:
 
I found one particularly odd thing my dodo excells at. I was helping a friend move yesterday. It was pouring down rain. We had a tarp, but water was still getting in on stuff, and he was worried about his mattress getting soaked, so I got a box of garbage bags, used the dodo to slitthem, taped them around the mattress, and got it there dry as could be. As opposed to my serrated Delica, which tore the bags as I cut them, the dodo opens those things clean as could be. From now on, I'm calling the dodo my garbage bag fillet knife.
 
Can we please have a serious discussion about the pros and cons of Ti vs. S30V in a spork? Let not get of topic here :D.

Cliff those Sporkel are sure beauties. Even though I am right handed I love the left handed version :D.

S30V is so yesterday. Crucible is coming out with a CPM version of 420J2 which I am developing with them especially for the sporkel industry. It has all the solid performance of 420J2 with new and improved CPM's sporkides, they are like carbides only better.

Unlike carbides which are formed when alloy elements bond to carbon, sporkides bond to AIR! As soon as you use the sporkel, the freshly exposed sporky particles immediately sporkize and thus there is an everlasting supply of sporkides in the edge.

These sporkides offer extreme levels of cutting ability and edge retention. There will be virtually no need to ever sharpen your sporkel. Yet at the same time since they are not sporkized in the sporkel itself, the machinability is very high.

[*]like paypal only it always rips you off.
 
Just as an FYI - don't buy the sporkel from Cliff Stamp. There are serious quality control issues that he was unwilling to resolve. I purchased 3 sporkels from cliff and the spork portion on all three were CONVEX, rather than concave. I ruined 3 pairs of pants trying to eat soup. Cliff did not seem capable of understanding why a convex spork would be a problem.

Those are the upside down models, Astronauts use them in zero-g enviroments. It is similar like when you buy a bag of nails and some heads point the wrong way, you just use those on the other side of the wood.

Sorry, I only buy my Sporkels with satchels of freshly minted Krugerrands. I guess I have to wait for Spork-Ops new Tri-laminate sporkel with the patent- pending "Rostfrei" core. Spork-Ops insists all customers pay with sparkling Golden Krugerrands. Besides, Spork-Ops is the official supplier of Tactical Sporkels to High Speed Operators worldwide.

Personally I think the Spyderco Dodo is a better box cutter. The amount of pressure you can apply with it is insane, much better than my wood inlayed Sebbie

I'd have to agree there... traded mine away and I already miss it.... :(...
 
All this talk about sporks, and yet no one has even mentioned the practical applications of my favorite tool :( - the Knifoon!

;) :D
 
And don't forget to put on a "Skull Crushing Pommel"; (from an older Cold Steel catalogue.)
 
I'm concerned that the high-end spork market has yet to develop tactical folding sporks for rugged edc use. Fixed sporks are ok, but I need a reliable locking folder for rapid deployment in situations where a larger model would be unwieldy.

- It's nice to see some humour injected into one of the daily bitching threads. Well done Cliff!

If I remove the spring from an automatic spork, do you think customs would be ok with it?
 
Automatic sporks are banned in England - reportedly they are the choice utensil of criminals. :rolleyes:
 
I prefer the old world charm - bamboo spork!!! Bio degradeable and does not say "I Kill!!!" to the ordinary sporklees!!!

England has banned sporks but only the metallick kind so get your bamboo spork b4 the Surgeon Generals get the ban on them 2!!! :)
