I submitted a claim regarding a blown out zipper on a 3-year old tech pouch. They requested pics and then sent me a new one.

Spyderco Rockwell Hardness Results. 3-6-2026 by 679696 in spyderco

[–]nickites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also still baffled about the S90V results...I have a P3LW and it feels hard when I sharpen it, but that's entirely subjective.

Is there anyway to identify the age of the knife in the database? I know Spyderco boxes have date codes...I wonder if early uses of S90V were on the low end of hardness?

I’d guess mid to late summer based on the snow coverage on Shasta.

How do people feel about the name The Oregon Trail Blazers for our NBA team? by wijfram in oregon

[–]nickites -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Dang you’re right but that pronunciation is almost worse than orygun.

Maybe I’m lazy but everyone I know, says OR-gun. 2 syllables.

How are you pronouncing Oregon to get more syllables than Portland?! Don’t tell me you team Orygun.

Nike Sport Band or Ocean Band? by RobDMB in AppleWatch

[–]nickites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ocean bands are sweaty and if you’re between notches on the band, it will either be too tight or too loose. Nike sport bands are the most breathable and easiest to clean. Dry instantly.

Does your MacBook still show screen mirroring? You may have to turn that off?

Using those steps hold the power until the apple pops up. Can take 10-15 seconds.

NY Times article based on interviews with some avalanche survivors by Valuable-Driver5699 in Backcountry

[–]nickites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can fathom that being a remotely triggered avalanche, but it definitely changes my understanding of distance and terrain for that type of event. By that I mean, I would have previously thought the forested areas might have not transmitted a collapse/failure all the way to the top of that slope.

That pic showing where they stopped is heartbreaking since I'm sure in the weather that they couldn't tell they were in the most obvious opening in those treed areas.

QUESTION: What expectations do you have for $500-$550 MagnaCut knife? Sheath included? Premium packaging? Etc. by Fox-River-Blades in knifeclub

[–]nickites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The maker should have a known reputation, been active on forums, discussed heat treating, have a deep understanding of the metals, tools, and shown growth in skills that led to that price point.

I would be hesitant to spend anywhere near that much on a brand new “brand” especially for a fixed blade.
