Spyderco Forums

I’m a masochist so bring it on.

Woah how I miss the SE Temperance in CruWear.

The fixed blade Temperance in CPM CruWear is a must get. And the price point being listed on various sites is super do-able. Got to love affordable sprint runs. And the Stretch 2 XL in CTS-PD#1 (Cru-Wear) yup I’m going to get in trouble with the wife again. Thank you Spyderco for the affordable Cru-...

Made my breakfast with my HIC mule and used it to cut up my tamale.

A viewer of mine watched a recent video and suggested I post it to this thread. The testing is admittedly on the imprecise side of things, as it is impossible to eliminate bias caused by geometry, heat-treatment, and hand movements - but I found the results interesting in terms of stable edge capab...

Thanks you everyone. I got some really good info from you all. Greatly appreciated. Also got me considering some steels like LC200N which I had been kind of ignoring.

OK let me put it another way. Assuming it’s a folding knife from Spyderco - 🙈 1. What knife/steel from Spyderco would you sharpen to a 10 - 15 DPS or maybe as high as 17.5 DPS for medium/EDC use or lighter? I’m especially looking for info on medium/EDC uses and Spyderco knife/steel you would run at ...

Denim micarta and super blue please.

So I know this is an old thread but it still seems it has not been totally answered. I don’t know all the knife makers that would know best but I’m hoping to revive this in order to learn more. I thought I understood this subject but soon learned that edge retention/hardness didn’t dictate better e...

The pictures don’t do the Stok knife justice. I checked one out when I dropped by Blade HQ and they looked pretty nice. Didn’t get one because of the steel type. Ended up finding a fixed blade in CPM-10V and got that.

Yard work. Trimmed branches and bushes.

Today’s EDC picked for me by my daughter. PM2 and Native 5 with CRUWEAR. Plus two titanium pry bars, write in rain note pad and tactical pen.

If you have the chaparral Birdseye maple that would be perfect for this.

My Native removed the old cob and installed a new new one on the squirrel feeder. Yesterday, it stripped some bark and cut cordage used during transplanting the mulberry tree pictured in the bottom right. Also opened a bottle last night 👍. https://i.imgur.com/uDeUksj.jpg Nice. Looks like your multi...

Test driving my new ClipiTool Native Salt today

That’s cool! Did you make the clip? Looks like it’s made from another Spyderco blade?

Anyone have a link to a good comprehensive carbide volume chart? Would love that info and thanks @VeraX_Knives for helping me think outside of just edge retention and toughness.

Ok this is a simple question that I’m hoping you can all clarify for me. I don’t have all the fancy equipment and knowledge you all have. I also have one of the worst cases of psoriatic arthritis that my doctors have ever seen so I can’t do the repetitive cut testing. But I do try. The thing that h...

M398 doubled my Aeb-l test cut numbers. Makes perfect sense to me seeing those results with feathersticks. I define toughness as the steels ability to absorb impact, and it's effect on edge retention. I lock my wrist when feathersticking, so I will assume your not twisting or hitting rocks. Lock my...
