Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

If I can get one, it looks like the price will be the equivalent of USD 112 + VAT + processing = about USD 160. Hopefully I can avoid the shipping fee, but then I will have to buy something else as well, to get above the free shipping threshold. So not exactly free shipping :) Still not that much m...

Re: What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

I’m mostly using YouTube music to play music on my phone. I’ve used Tidal a lot in the past, all the way since it was called Wimp, and I’ll probably reactivate my subscription now that they’ve adjusted their pricing and moved away from MQA. The sound quality is noticeably better than Spotify and You...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

I know I'm like a 33rpm record album with a scratch/skip in it. But I still can't for the life of me understand why they won't make the Catcherman model in full SE again. And this new model with the corrosion resistant steel would be perfect for a full SE blade. There are some fish fillet jobs wher...

Re: Salt color differences

My LC200N Native is my only Golden LW atm, but there’s a Manix salt and a UKPK salt in my not too distant future. Just need for them to show up at European dealers. Green LC200N UKPK appears to be in stock at the major European dealers... thanks for the heads up. I think I’ve seen the green one in ...

Hah.. learning something new every once in a while. I had somehow come to the understanding that all Golden LWs were FRCP. Anyhow, I also had similar concerns as you when I got my Native salt. The yellow color was noticeably different than the Seki salts I already owned. It is also my impression th...

Re: Any recommendations?

It's hard for a random joe on the internet to visualize exactly how your arthritis interferes with lock operation, so outside Sal's recommendation of omitting the lock altogether, you'd be better off going to a knife store and try before you buy. If such a store exits in your area. Side note: I have...

Re: Serrated S110V (and other steels)

I was using my S110V UKPK just now and thought to myself “man, the edge retention on this thing would be outrageous in SE”. After a quick google I couldn’t find anything in SE S110V of any brand, which led me down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at other steels and their SE availability (cru-wear wa...

I might make another set with the same material, but 3D contoured.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Hoping to snag one of those too.

Spyderco seems to be doing a great job with high edge retention tool steels, and I can appreciate that effort, but I only need so much of that stuff. Thin and light however, that bucket isn’t even half full yet.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

I'll reserve judgement until I've had one in hand, but 1mm stock on the charisma might be too thin for me. Never thought I'd say that about a production knife. The z-cut blade is already very flexible and at 1.3mm it's 30% thicker than the charisma. Reserving judgement is probably the way to approa...
