Daar heeft ze Mzich gelukkig weinig van aangetrokken, want inmiddels is ze één van de vier vrouwelijke mees- tersmeden van de American Bladesmith Society. Een geweldige prestatie. De reportage in dit nummer gaat over Véronique, haar liefde voor smeden en damast en de (voor)oordelen waar je als vrouwelijke smid mee te maken krijgt. Het decembernummer van Messenmarkt heeft altijd een uitgebreid verslag van de jaarlijkse Messenmakerijdagen in Gembloux, georganiseerd door de Belgian Knife Society. Het is de grootste en belangrijkste beurs van de Lage Landen en hij wordt dan ook druk bezocht, zowel door standhou- ders als bezoekers. Messenmarkt kan helaas maar een deel van het vaak schitterende aanbod tonen. We hebben het bovendien ditmaal eens anders gedaan: van veel messen laten we twee of soms drie foto’s zien, van verschillende kanten of details.

The name, personifies Spyderco’s line of folding knives with clips. The verb refers to the physical action of being able to clip the knife to your clothing. We’re human and creatures of convenience. Minute by minute we create, adjust and are predisposed to gravitate to the tool that performs best and is easily applied to the task in front of us. Illustrating that instinctive quest for the best, explains the success of the CLIPIT knife. Almost all Spyderco knives are CLIPITs. The idea surfaced in the 1980s when Sal Glesser (Spyderco’s founder) imagined, then designed, a folding pocketknife with three revolutionary features: A clothing clip, a way to open the knife with one-hand (The Spyderco Round Hole) and serrations on a folding knife blade. These concepts lifted pocketknife function to a higher level. Clips shifted the knife’s weight from the bottom of a pocket to the top, attaching the knife inside so it sat/rode flat regardless of size and wasn’t as likely to be dropped or lost. The Spyderco Round Hole enabled the folder’s blade to open with one hand, leaving your other hand free.
