Re: PM2 Slippy G10
This is why I prefer the bidirectional FRN or FRCP.
It's WAY better.

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
While you kids were searching for ghosts, I sharpened my knife, diced up some vegetables, prepared a stir fry for lunch, and did the dishes.
Sharpen your knife, go out and cut stuff, be happy.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
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...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
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.

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
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...

Re: My First Bento Box Shop Experience
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.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
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...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
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?

Re: Experienced Serrated Edge K390 users wanted.
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...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
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...

Re: Good second Spyderco
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...

Re: Happy Easter!... And your carry today - ?
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...
