Who needs paper shredders?

[clipiteer]

Who needs paper shredders when you have Spyderco knives? Whilst sifting through my junk mail one day, and after finishing sharpening my Case 3207 in CV (for those that know what the Case markings mean, I'll let you translate for yourself) and after sharpening my Delica (ATS-55) I was kind of bored, so I just started slicing pages out of a catalouge. The spey blade on my Case cut through the pages effortlessly, slicing them off one at a time until I had cut all the pages from a 70 page magazine. Then, I held each page at the top and sliced them all clean down the middle in one stroke. After doing all this, the knife was still sharp enough to shave hair off my arm and sever rubber bands neatly. So, instead of wasting all that junk mail, now I use it for entertainment. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Whoa!

For a minute there, I thought you might have been an employee at Enron or something...<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Just teasing!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I agree: Junk mail is kinda fun to &quot;hack&quot; through. I normally just pitch it in to the woodstove. I love watching credit cards burn....<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

For those who aren't familiar with Case's numbering, I'll translate.

Each number in a Case ID number has a purpose.
3-Number corresponding to Yellow Synthetic Handles.
2-Number of blades.
07-Specific pattern number, in this case, a Trapper.

Hence, I deduce that Clipiteer is now the proud owner of a Case CV Trapper, 3207.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Hi clipiteer,

While we don't mind you using an image for your signature, the one you are using is very large and consumes a great deal of page space. Would you do me a favor and use this smaller version of the Meerkat image for your signature? Just click on the link, and take the url from the image which pops up.

Let's try this:

&lt;img src=&quot;http://a2.cpimg.com/image/BC/CC/8815292-af82-00D50064-.jpg&quot;&gt;

Just take the url from this image for your signature.

Thank you Carlos..

A <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> knife is the most expensive and least effective screwdriver you will ever buy. However, we do have the blade strecher if we can get the solar power thingie to work <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

spyderholic,

I don't get your sig. I get the first part, but not the bladestretcher part. BTW in the first part you forgot about the SpydeRench <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[bell]

Clipiteer:
Love that Meerkat. I think this model will become, in time, a classic on par with Calypso Jr.

Spyderholic:
Where do I get one of those bladestreachers?

[clipiteer]

Is this better? Sword and Shield, you are absolutely right, but now can you figure out what year it is by this: It was made after they stopped putting the date in numbers on the blade and has x . x .
Case XX
x . x . x
on the master blade. (5 x's and 4 dots in case I did it wrong)

[clipiteer]

Okay, maybe it will work this time.

Aack! What have I done?!

[kraziekurtis]

It doesn't work now..

Remember how I.K.I.N.J.A.K was a part of someone's sig and we had to guess what it meant to win something, what if spyderholics bladestretcher reference is gonna be the same...long shot but who knows <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

First and foremost, what happened up a few posts? I deduce from KK's penitence that he had something to do with it, but what's going on?

Clipiteer, the date is really simple, 2001. 2000 had 5 xs and 5 dots, from 2001-5 a dot is removed. From 2006-10 an x is removed. You'll have to try harder than that to fool me! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> &lt;joking, of course!&gt;

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Sword and Shield]

k.k does thie sig. make more sense????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????

A Spyderco knife is the most expensive and least effective screwdriver / prybar you will ever buy. However, we do have the blade strecher if we can get the solar power thingie to work ;)

[kraziekurtis]

Ahh!!! Yes the prybar part made it all seem clear to me <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>


Edited by - kraziekurtis on 2/26/2002 6:37:33 PM

[clipiteer]

KK, I think it has something to do with the sig. Over at the Tippmann forums, people started doing scrolling pics and words with similar effects. Even when they got it right, everybody got p.oed becasue it started getting annoying. It looks cool, but just don't make pictures scroll. Oh, Sword and Shield, how's this for hard: what is the 3rd letter of the 27th word in the article on CV blade care on the back of the box, and what is the word? And what do the two X's stand for? And what color pocket lint is stuck in the liners of my knife? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[kraziekurtis]

<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I think I took it out...

Sorry for the trouble folks...

But I think the screwing up of this thread has something to do with Clipiteers posts because his has something in it &quot;Start fragment&quot; or something O_o

Oh well I won't do it again....but can I type in blue text without aggravating people?? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

OK- on the letter and word, ya got me. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I don't have a box nearby to check. However, the XX started out as a symbol that the knife was &quot;double-checked&quot; as to proper temper and draw. As for the lint, I would guess blue. You seem like a denim type! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[clipiteer]

Hey, I didn't think you would get that one! You are right, however, about the lint. Oh, and the letter is the &quot;s&quot; in &quot;Case&quot;. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I guess I am the denim type although most people call me a redneck <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. (my idea of a three piece suit is blue jeans and a t-shirt with a Spyderco Clipit <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ) Oh, and kk, the reason it had all that fragment junk in there was because Carlos told me to use the image he provided and all that was in the url.

Bell: You can only get a bladestretcher from this one guy I know he has the patent and does little dealing's with the public. He is my Uncle's cousin's sister's brother's nephew three times removed.

[Sword and Shield]

Clipiteer- I just managed to locate the papers from a Case box and the 3rd letter, 27th word is &quot;a&quot; from &quot;sharp&quot;, unless yours is a different printing than mine. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> If so, we're both right, I raise my Spyder in tribute!

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[clipiteer]

I counted the title when I said that, but it doesn't matter.
*raises a Delica to Sword and Shield*

[Sword and Shield]

(deftly tips cap to Clipiteer, using nothing but the tip of an Endura) <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> It's good to see a Case fan on here. I love Spyders, but I still have a weak spot for Cases. Seen a Cheetah yet?

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[clipiteer]

Yeah, I saw the Cheetahs. Pretty cool. BUt I saw something last week that mad me drool- A Case Limited Edition (500 made) Red White and Blue Collector's set, <b>serial number 001! </b> with a Medium Texas Toothpick a Doctor's knife and I forgot the other one, but each one had a red, white, or blue bone handle and was in a hardwood box with velvet lining for $250 and less than a 20 minute drive from my house. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Oops, I forgot to mention my Delica's tip broke off about a year ago. *searches for a suitable &quot;toasting&quot; knife, and pulls out his Case 3207 CV Trapper*

[SpyderNut]

Ahh, Case knives....<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

What do you guys think of the &quot;Hobo&quot; Case knife? I think it is a very unique piece of cutlery. What say you?
(I have a weak spot for Case knives too.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

~Spydernut

[Sword and Shield]

I like the Hobo pattern, partly for its uniqueness and party for its utility. Having a KFS set on you is pretty ingenious, and putting it into a functional piece is a work of cutlery art.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[clipiteer]

Yeah. Case knives rule. Being made by Case is reason enough for me to buy it. While they're not all that sharp from the factory, the CV steel is as good or better at holding an edge than any other steel I've used, including Spyderco. If they had clips and Spyder holes, I would probably like them better than Spyderco knives! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
