MagnaCut Fine Edge Retention

I recently got my first MagnaCut :bug-red-white (Manix 2 LW), and, first impression, it seems to hold a fine edge a little longer than other steels. Can anyone who has more MagnaCut experience confirm this?

We’re all too busy reading Knifecentre emails telling us that our nineteen new preorders from Reveal #14 have not been forgotten or lost 🤪

That seems like as good an explanation as any ;)

Stealth Reveal?

It seems like there's not much activity on this forum surrounding Reveal # 14 compared to past reveals, especially considering what was revealed. Just wondering what the reason might be?

A Tip For Cleaning Sharpmaker Stones

For those of you who haven’t found out, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work fantastic for cleaning Sharpmaker stones. I had been using Barkeeper’s Friend, but these are cheap, and way easier and more convenient. Just take a piece wet it a little, then go to town and throw it away. They are wonders for all ...

Re: Top Steels and Scales for another Kapara sprint?

I’d love basic textured G10 scales in blue or a nice dark green. MagnaCut would be my my first choice for steel, but I’m not sure Spyderco is ready to import it to Taiwan yet. CPM Cruwear would be my next choice. SPY 27 would also work.

Maryland knife laws?

I’m going to be traveling,by car, to Maryland with my wife in nine days. Specifically to the DC suburb of Rockville. What do I need to know about Maryland knife laws in general, and Spydercos specifically? I don’t have to carry any knife at all, but I'd like to bring one of my smaller Spydercos for ...

Re: Reveal 13 Live!

Does anyone else find the lack of a black G10, PE, uncoated version of the Military 2 odd?

Edit: Online dealers are listing it, so it must just be an error in the Reveal?

Re: Spyderco 2023 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Couldn’t find the Native Chief lightweight BD1N in the new 2023 catalog?? That’s the only one I’m looking forward to. So far everything else seems boring 😭 hoping for something exciting in the new reveals Ask and you shall receive: https://catalog.spyderco.com/spyderco-reveal-12-2023/ Am I missing ...

Re: Chaparral Lightweight - Unexploited Gem

Also a fan of the Chapparral LW, just started carrying mine again recently. XHP works fine for me, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a variation or two in more stainless steel. M390(or 20CV, 204P) and, of course, MagnaCut would be great.

Please share your experience with, and impressions of, K390 in SE

Now that some SE K390 Spyders have gotten out into the wild, I'm interested in your experiences with, and impressions of, this edge/steel combo.

Origin of the finger choil?

One of the features on many Spyderco folders I really appreciate is the finger choil. I’m curious, was this a Spyderco innovation, or does the origin lie elsewhere?

Has Spyderco “revealed” a Para 2 lightweight?

Has Eric shown a Para 2 lightweight at SHOT or Blade show? I seem to recall something, but can’t find it. Am I just imagining things?

Re: Stretch XL discussion

I believe Sal mentioned a while back that a Cruwear version of the Stretch XL is in the works? Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Never mind, found it:

Another vote for the Stretch XL SE. I recently got one, and think it would be a great introduction to :bug-red-white serrations.

Re: Reveal 10 Live!

I notice that the M390 Native Chief sprint is only available “consumer direct” from Spyderco. Is this a new distribution model for sprint runs?
