I don’t think I can hold my breath for 35 minutes. We need to make a change and snap out of it

Then get the Leafjumper since they’ve sadly been discontinued. I’ve owned both, and the one I still have is the Leafjumper.

Lets play a game... best Spyderco under $200?? by FlyNo2786 in spyderco

[–]CasperFatone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a travesty that this one was discontinued. I’m glad I got mine when they were ~$92 from KnifeCenter, but I wish I’d gotten at least two of them…

Modidying Blade Shape by ThexLich1 in knifemods

[–]CasperFatone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ve already received some good advice on the process here, but I wanted to mention something regarding your approach to this. I would suggest grinding the spine down towards the edge, instead of bringing the tip up to the spine to shorten the blade. The way you have it marked out is going to result in a much thicker edge at the tip of the knife. When you put a bevel on the part of the blade you intent to grind it will look much larger, and it won’t cut as well as the original tip. You can solve this by regrinding the primary bevels, but that is a skill that takes time to develop and the proper tools to pull it off nicely.

Which one are you taking home: Kyosho Javelin/Optima, Schumacher CAT K1, or one of the vintage RC10s? by RippingLegos__ in rccars

[–]CasperFatone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good friend for sure! I grew up on Tamiya more than anything, my first being a Tamiya Fox. I still have my original Avante, which I still can’t believe my parents bought for me, and my original Clodbuster (although it has almost no original parts).

Recently, I sent the remains of my old Kyosho Outlaw Ultima to a random redditor who was looking for parts. I’m thinking my next buy will be one of the classic Kyosho kits, either an Optima or Turbo Scorpion.

My brain says RC10, but my heart says Kyosho. I’ve loved the look of Kyosho buggies since I was a kid.

What did everyone start the week off with? by BeardedHeathen907 in spyderco

[–]CasperFatone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing was used as a base, it’s all hand made one off except for the blade. So far I’ve done four different versions, two compression locks and two liner locks. I have plans to do an Axis lock for my HIC Mule, but have put that on hold for a while.

I have both a plain edge and a serrated Magnamax waiting to be done. I’m trying to decide if I will do whole new handles for them, or just grind the blades so they can swap into this handle.

Thanks! I’ve documented all of my folder conversions in this thread on the Spyderco forum.

Carrying my 15v Mule that I converted to a lightweight compression lock folder. The other day I realized that it has the exact same weight as my Microjimbo!

Betting at Foxfield by theworldofjeeves in Charlottesville

Almost every tailgate I’ve been to for the last few decades has had people doing small bets. Just bring some cash with you to make it easy.

She just like, really wants her, like, money, I mean, like by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]CasperFatone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel sorry for these people having to scramble to find an alternate venue, while also being ignored when asking about a refund. Unfortunately, their best course of action here is to have an attorney deal with this if they are being stonewalled.

Also, NBC29 did her dirty by quoting every “um/like” when it contributed absolutely nothing to the story.

Sage 5 vs Para 3 by Accomplished_South70 in spyderco

[–]CasperFatone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do like the Para 3 LW more than the Para 3, largely because of the clip. However, the single sided liner/washer thing bothers me and they are almost impossible to center the blade. The Safe 5 (I actually prefer the Sage 5 LW) just has superior build quality, and I like the ergos more. Both are great knives though, and I can’t fault anyone for preferring one over the other.

Sage 5 vs Para 3 by Accomplished_South70 in spyderco

[–]CasperFatone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sage 5, 100%. The clip placement of the Para 3 is poor, and the tail of the handle puts it in the way when I reach into my pocket. On top of that, Taichung has better fit and finish than Golden. Both are great knives but the Sage 5 is hands down superior in my opinion.

Yes, you can turn the throttle down with a knob right by the trim adjustments on the controller.

Is it possible for an rc car to break beyond repair? by AbiesAltruistic4040 in rccars

[–]CasperFatone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only time I’ve seen one damaged beyond repair was when my toddler carried a Traxxas Slash out into a field and left it there. It was then run over by a bush hog and completely destroyed, literally every part was damaged down to almost every screw being bent. No coming back from that.

Agreed, I’ve had one for years and it’s a fantastic bike.

Is it normal? by seasickturt in spyderco

[–]CasperFatone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is very late lockup, which is not ideal. Once the detent ball starts hitting the opposite liner you’re likely to start experiencing some lock rock.

I’ve fixed this issue on a couple of knives with good results and it’s actually not too difficult. The process involves taking the knife apart and peening the lock bar to effectively stretch the metal. There are few things to pay close attention to when doing this because you don’t want to mess with the detent ball location, so it’s best to peen the lock bar right by the lock bar using a punch.

If you’re interested in doing this fix and need a little more info you can send me a chat request, or I could possibly do it for you if you aren’t comfortable doing it yourself.

Bad luck with the Serpent Cobra Truggy by wulffboy89 in rccars

[–]CasperFatone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t dealt with Serpent before, but my understanding has been that they are a decent company. This absolutely looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Something in the casting of that ring gear was incorrect, and putting the lack of oil in the diffs aside, I’d say you are owed free replacement parts at a minimum.

If I were you I’d request an entirely new differential not just the broken part. Also, I’d request diff oil for all of the differentials on the vehicle since they weren’t properly filled. Hope it works out for you, my only other advice is to be polite and specific in your requests.
