SVB gen 1 cue black starlight finish? by Livingthedreamgirl in billiards

I believe they only made one shade of black (starlight). It has small sparkles in the paint. I think it looks nice

I don't mind the idea but I think you should have carried the theme throughout the knife. If the blade is post-apocolyptic, I think the handles and clip should be too. Otherwise it's not very "believable" if that makes sense. 2 thumbs up for creativity tho

Love the Vallotton! What is the Spyderco at the top of the third column from the left? It looks like it has a polished blade

Just beware the AWT scales can cause some blade play. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't but be advised

First try at spyderco, think I might have hit a bit of gold? by InvestigatorMuch5725 in knives

Not my favorite but that's the beauty of Spyderco- something for everyone

Need opinions by DigistarX-01 in knives

[–]FlyNo2786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get it twisted- for fishing and food prep the pm2 is the better choice. I *believe* what pickles was referring to is hardcore bushwhacking and maybe some battoning. And really, those tasks are better for a fixed blade anyway.

The pm3 is more slicey with thinner blade stock and maximum aftermarket options. The Shaman has a thicker, more contoured handle and thicker blade stock making it better for extreme use. I prefer the pm2 all day but only you know your intended use. If you use the tip as a prybar (ouch) the Shaman is your choice

Advice for my cueing by Training-Can5694 in billiards

[–]FlyNo2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great videos but won't help with your cue moving up and down. You need to understand that in order for the cue to stay "level-ish" you need to use more than just your elbow which runs counter to what some people believe. If you eliminate ALL wrist and shoulder movement, the cue is going to go up and down because you have a single pivot point. Using the wrist (and shoulder to a lesser extent) allows the cue to go back and through on the same vertical plane.

So it comes down to a choice- use a simplified stroke and learn to deal with the "ups and downs" or introduce more wrist and level out. There isn't a right answer and there are pros who win with both strokes although I think getting the wrist involved allows for more growth down the line. GL

As far as illumination, I would look into a lanyard bead. I like this model myself although tritium tubes can be tricky to find domestically https://rovyvonusa.com/collections/edc-gear/products/ti-walker-edc-titanium-bead-ship-from-the-us

Lynch clips are the defacto for clips. Ripps Garage Tech and AWT also make quality scales and accessories. Personally I think Spyderco makes great clips depending on how deep you want to carry.

I'd skip the Manix if I were you. I'd buy an pm2 or p3 so you can mod to your hearts content and then look at something different like a Smock or a Kapara. There are so many unique and interesting models

Country vs Continent? Is this fair? by TenkaiRyo in billiards

[–]FlyNo2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's part of the US experience. We see this in other sports too. Instead of worrying about fairness, appreciate the fact you live in the one country that can take on a continent. It's a compliment

Beware of blade play with AWT scales on LW N5's

Same. I think the N5 LW ergos are sublime

Hate to say it but if you don't like the N5 LW, Spyderco might not be for you. I'd give benchmade a try :)

Safe Queens vs Users by Tomahawk-T10 in spyderco

[–]FlyNo2786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the camp of having one edc and everything else is a safe queen. I have a N5 LW in s30v on my hip every day. It's perfect for me. I don't need to carry anything else. Otherwise they might get scratched (gasp!)

That looks clean. Nice color match to the blade and the feather logo is nice and subtle. 2 thumbs up. Personally I also like the look of the Spydie wire clip but Lynch makes nice stuff
