After several years I have come to believe the plain old back lock is the superior mechanism for a few reasons. The spring pressure that keeps the blade closed is a huge benefit. I can't count the number of times I have had a "high end" titanium frame lock open accidentally in my pocket. B...

I think 15 or even 20 degrees would be ideal seeing as the back side is essentially 0 degrees. My k390 endura is around 20 degrees right now and the edge tends to roll like crazy if it encounters anything hard. At least it doesn't chip, I suppose. Try sharpening the back side at 15/20 and add a sma...

I wasn't sure where to post this but it seems most relevant to this thread. I got a new Autonomy yesterday and today decided to touch up the edge (it actually came with a couple rolls in the edge). I started out like I do every knife by coloring the bevel to get an idea of what angle the serrations...

I came across a pretty remarkable SE sharpening video on Youtube just now. Using a Tormek, he gets the edge down to an 89 on the BESS scale. https://youtu.be/Gphj7JT_vno Nice results. I did notice that his cut test only involves one scallop at a time instead of a slice cut along the edge. The one i...

During regular carry of my M4 shaman I experienced a significant amount of surface rust forming each day, despite applying my usual eezox which normally protects quite well for a week or more. https://i.postimg.cc/FHzYNRJz/20220906-114920.jpg It was mentioned earlier in this thread that changing th...

K390 endura spyderedge. Southeast USA one work day of carry is enough to cause spots and even rust. Oil or chapstick is not enough protection to last a day. I ended up giving The blade a light polish and it made a HUGE difference. The factory finish is way too coarse for a tool steel like this. Even...

I actually would prefer a little more plain edge towards the tip. I find combo edge most useful, but something like a 1/3 plain edge would be nice You can have a little more plain edge at the tip with the Police 4 LW K390 SE. More blade length, edge length, thinner blade stock, and finger choil to ...

Uh...so what?

I will say that $211 in USA for that knife is a little steep but pretty much ALL spydercos are overpriced from when I started collecting about 10 years ago

The liner less FRN knives seem strong enough and have great action. I don't think the design would translate over to the standard offerings, but in a few years it might. The community does seem to enjoy the light weight models quite a bit

I WANT DAT

I think this is your sign telling you that you simply cannot afford it and therefore should not buy it. However I know these words will fall on deaf ears lol

Just saying, the serrations on the 111mm Swiss Army knives work extremely well. They slice like a mofo and that Victorinox steel touches up so nicely. You really gotta try a Swiss soldier knife if you haven't already With that said I love my combo edge endura and I have the SE K390 on the way so we ...

I just ordered one from DLT Trading. I debated between plain edge k390, serrated k390, and a pacific salt 2 h1

Just got mine in the mail. See pics on my IG @clipt_poynt

The fit and finish is excellent. I would have done the tanto differently if I designed it, but overall, it’s pretty nice.

40 minutes in and not sold out. I wonder if flippers sit back and start sweating when a knife doesn't sell out super fast and start regretting their purchases lol. I hope so. I bought one, and I would take a $10 reduction in future prices just to screw over the weasels who bought them to make money

Well, it's 30 $ more then standard S30V with DLC coating. Is it worth that extra money? Hard to tell. If someone is really sold on tanto blades and loves PM2, I think it's not that much expensive. There is a lot more grinding to do with this blade profile, so I think the price is fair. Don't know w...

So it’s dropping soon. $192 from bladehq....kinda steep. I get that the grind is a lot more complicated than the FFG version, but for that price, could we at least get a little variation?? Maybe some digicam g10, maybe a fully serrated version? And I don’t buy the line that “tantos just don’t sell” ...

I find it funny that people are excited about S45vn (which is EXTREMELY) similar to s35vn in composition, but complain about s30v. The extra % of vanadium in s30v means it’s almost certainly going to outperform both s35vn and S45vn in regards to edge retention. I really don’t understand why so many...
