That's a badass knife! Seems like you could use it as a hatchet if you needed to.
Especially when the zombie apocalypse comes [emoji3446]

Thanks! I believe the Damascus blade is a stainless steel mix, and the scales are polished horn of some creature[emoji16] It was made by a TX knife craftsman.

For those with a few tens of thousands to spare, Anthony Bourdain's chef knife, made by Bob Kramer out of meteorite damascus, is going to be auctioned off:

I'd love a Kramer knife, but I would prefer the 52100 model…

Joel Black's site put me on to this place, well worth a look..

God-dang clip on my Native snapped, got caught behind a metal shelf. Bought a replacement clip thinking "one fits all" but it's for a different model and doesn't fit…
Anyone have a spare one or know where I can get an original (seems too much hassle contacting Spyderco just for a bloody clip)?.. I'm not about to buy an aftermarket pink titanium clip (as seen on eBay)...
-
That'd be rather awesome cause the (fake) replacements I'm looking at would cost me 30-40€ shipped… I'll contact them then... Thanks!..
So if anyone needs a replacement clip, let me know, I'll ship it to you for free.

It's a big thing in the UK of course… Knife-related violence is off the scales these days... So it'd be sensible to ban 'm... However the effectiveness of such a ban would be questionable...
In Belgium it's very reasonable... You can't carry an auto-knife (switchblade, stiletto); you càn carry a pocket knife but it has to be work-related... Say: I'm working and carrying me Sebenza... Fine, as I'm using it whilst working... I'm out at the pub carrying same knife... Offense...
I, however, won't even attend a funeral without carrying one...

I don't understand how banning automatic knives is reasonable. Why does the deployment mechanism matter in terms of public safety? Is it perceived danger to the wielder having the knife spin out of control and injure themselves or someone nearby? A thumb stud or flipper blade can be deployed just as quickly as a partially- or fully-spring assisted blade, and of course fixed blades are already deployed. I'm open to hearing a sound rationale for banning them; my only thought is that automatic opening is generally unnecessary and introduces potential points of failure, and a bad automatic design could deploy accidentally when carried, but those risks should be managed on a case-by-case basis. In the States, I believe the excessive regulation of these is out of ignorance, fear, and stereotypes like the greaser with a switchblade rather than being out of facts, evidence, and sound rationale.
I also don't think that it's anyone business how I use a knife unless I am threatening or harming someone. So "work-related" is also unreasonable: what if I want to open a personal package or whittle something on my own time? I don't think about all the ways I'm going to use a knife before carrying, I just know blades come in handy from time to time, like any other item in one's EDC.
