Spyderco byte October 2024 - Edge-U-Cation® - Understanding Spyderco's Compression Lock® Mechanism When many people see the Compression Lock mechanism for the first time, they dismiss it as “a LinerLock on the back of the handle.” While the basic operation of its split-liner spring is admittedly similar to a LinerLock, its mechanical function, lock geometry, vectors of force, strength, and ease of use are all impressively different. Invented by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser in the year 2000 and formally recognized by a U.S. Utility Patent in 2003, the Compression Lock was a groundbreaking achievement in folding knife lock engineering. Functionally, it stands proud as one of the simplest, strongest, and safest folding knife locks...

Spyderco byte September 2024 - Edge-U-Cation®- CPM Rex 121 Edge-U-Cation® - CPM Rex 121 Crucible Industries describes their CPM Rex 121 as “a high-vanadium, cobalt-bearing tool steel designed to offer the highest combination of wear resistance, attainable hardness, and red hardness available in a high speed steel.” Those simple words, however, don’t do it justice—especially when it is used as a material for knife blades. In industrial applications, Rex 121’s extreme wear resistance and superior “red hardness”—its ability to maintain its hardness at high temperatures—allows tools made from it to be run at higher cutting speeds than those made from other high-speed steels. In this way, it bridges the gap between high-alloy tool...

Böker Manufaktur Neuheiten Herbst/Winter 2024 Sehr geehrte Böker Interessenten, es war nur eine Frage der Zeit bis weitere Verschärfungen des deutschen Waffengesetzes – insbesondere in Bezug auf Messer – als Folge auf die schrecklichen Messerattentate der jüngsten Vergangenheit gefordert wurden. Ein differenzierterer Blick auf den Sachverhalt zeigt jedoch die Wirkungslosigkeit der Forderungen. Gewalttäter lassen sich per se nicht von bestehenden Verboten abhalten – stattdessen werden Millionen unbescholtene Bürger kriminalisiert und geraten somit unweigerlich unter Generalverdacht. Statt Tatmittel zu verbieten, muss der Fokus auf die Täter gerichtet werden. Eine mögliche Lösung praktiziert die Stadt Dortmund seit Mai diesen Jahres...
