Tried a one stick fire challenge at night with just a hatchet and a ferro rod (no striker). Ended up using the edge and honestly… it worked really well, threw sparks like crazy!

Yeah, I know everyone says don’t use the edge, but I’ve found ferro rods are so soft it barely does anything to it. And honestly, you could just touch it up on a stone for a minute and be right back in business.

In hindsight I probably should’ve just squared off the spine and used that, but in the moment the edge was right there and it worked.

Recently picked up a pocket clip for my Spyderco Chaparral from Rips Garage and the coating already started coming off after just a couple days. I’m all for using your gear, but I was hoping it’d hold up a bit longer than that.

That said, does anyone have recommendations for aftermarket clips that are just as low profile Appreciate any suggestions!

Another custom attempt, this time with the Spyderco Chaparral!

Gave the blade and backspacer an acid wash, heat anodized the hardware and added a Ti clip from Rips Garage. The acid wash came out a bit messier than I was aiming for and when reprofiling edge I slightly rounded the tip. There’s definitely room for improvement, but still oving with how the overall look turned out!

Without a doubt my most used multitool… so naturally I got one for me, one for my wife, one for me, and one for me.
