The S60V datasheet notes that a cooling rate of 150F per minute to under 1000F is good enough to get the steel hardened through.

Thanks!

Large aluminum plates with forced air to race to under 1000f Interesting. I've been sitting here for half an hour contemplating this. You can pull the blade from the furnace, unwrap it, stick it between aluminum blocks, and get it clamped before it cools too much? And then the aluminum dissipates h...

The philosophy that guides my life is "Buy high, sell low." I've already purchased all the knives I want when the prices were high. Now that prices are discounted, there's nothing left that I need.

Oh, never thought about bending a factory spring. Might be fun to try out. Always thought I had to make my own replacement If needed ! Interesting that you chaps want stronger springs. On all of my Spyderco back locks, I've bent the springs to provide less tension. We all have are own ideas about w...

While I know I overpaid for this knife

Ain't no shame in paying for something that you want.
Good on Bento Box for getting you knife that none of the "lowball sellers" could provide.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for including the "Mark all as read" button in the Unread lists, so much easier than before :)

Ha! I didn't even notice that. Yeah, it's WAY better than before.

The “MAP sales” are good opportunities to save more than 25% off MSRP on Spyderco products.

"MAP Sale" means "No MAP."
Now I get it.
Thanks.

While the furnace is heating, it we'll be nice to share some color metallography I made of CPM S60V and what excites me about it. Thanks for showing us the process. Her's a couple questions, perhaps relevant, perhaps not. When you heat treat this blade, are you using a "recipe" that is pu...

Not sure I get it yet, but I'm curious.
The MAP is the price that everyone else charges?
And everyone else provides free shipping?

Will there be knives for sale that aren't available elsewhere?
Yes? No? Unknown?

I have three K390 knives with serrated edges, which have seen heavy to light usage. I just examined one under magnification. There is a lot of inconsistency of the serration tips, indicating wear through use. I don't consider this a problem, and would expect to see similar wear on any serrated knif...

Couldn't get both in focus. Would've been a cool trick shot. One Adam Twelve One Adam Twelve We're receiving reports of a strange man standing outside the Adam West Regional High School, taking pictures and waving around a big knife. Please respond Code 2. :anguished :grin-squint Nice shot of the k...

when you think of Porsche, you think of a 911

Not around here we don't.
When someone mentions Porsche, the only one that comes to mind is the 718 Spyder.

Yeah, sort of. To me, the quintessential Spyderco styling is evident in the lightweight Delica/Endela/Endura/Police knives. They have the handle, blade, lock, and ergonomics, that shout, "Spyderco!" The primarily differences are the size of each knife. But from afar, they look alike. What...

There have already been some nice suggestions my thoughts go towards an entry level Manix 2 Lwt . Hey, Joelc73 , I've got to agree here. The Manix 2 is very different with its caged ball bearing lock. It's super easy to use one handed, and is good in either the right or left hand. The blade is usef...

Stop being a tease. For a moment I was all excited thinking
Tom Hanks might have landed a role playing Nicolaus Otto.

Good golly, you kids are a dedicated bunch!

I just discovered the BEST feature of the new Forum Update. We no longer need to futz around resizing images before we upload them!!! We can just upload the images as they are, no muss, no fuss. This is going to be GREAT for mobile phone users who might not have image editing tools at their fingert...

I'm carrying the same knife that I've been carrying for many weeks, a Stretch 2 XL in Cruwear. There's nothing fancy about it, it's just an all-around awesome knife. And in the spirit of the holiday, I'll share with you a picture of a sociopathic bunny named Bun Bun who carries a switchblade. I can...
