Re: New Discoveries found in 8Cr13MoV testing

Wish not which.

I like 14c28n, too, and wish spyderco had a sprint run with it.

I have a couple tenacious that have held up well four me with 8cr13mov, though. Use a serrated version to open boxes, etc.

Re: I don't give a #@$! about stainless

Variety is the spice of life. Thankfully, Spyderco had the wisdom/insight to provide so many options in their products. Best part, as one ages, is realizing more and more how much truth there is in that first sentence. Opinions and circumstances/situations/locations change over time. Always great to...

Re: Looking for input on next Spyderco.

Native chief, stretch 2 xl, and a Chaparral - quite an amazing smaller knife. It appears only raffir noble and lw are available, but they are both good. The lw has better grip while the raffir is more aesthetically pleasing. The chief carries very well, just not quite as easy to deploy as the stretc...

Re: Stretch XL Salt Observations

Took a photo comparing Stretch XL to Pac Salt. Kinda shows blade shape/length/tip/serration differences. Looking forward to your H2 review, Vivi.

Re: UKPK Magnacut?

Probably not coming out until the expansion at Spyderco is finished. Then we may a see an initial surge of older reveals/releases as they get up to speed. I am looking forward to the magnacut version ukpk. Will not hold an edge as long as s110v, but will be tougher/less likely to chip, and easier/qu...

Re: What knife do you actually carry and use the most?

After thinking about it, Overall, probably carry and use the dragonfly the most. It just disappears clipless in the pocket. The chaparral is a close second. I do use a pac salt or endura quite a bit. I do not necessarily carry them much - I just simply use them/pick them up around the house, from a ...

Re: Are We Witnessing The Death Knell of K390 In Production Folders?

Can anybody recommend an alternative to the K390 wharncliffe delica? Does the VG10 version come close when sharpend to the max? And how about the lil native wharncliffe? You can still get a good deal on k390 wc delica. You can also get a great deal on a 20CV wc delica at knife joy - they are an exc...

I am looking forward to this one. Really like the stretch 2xl lw, and a salt version would be very nice. Magnacut would be preferred, but understand the possibility of that happening soon are most likely very, very slim..

Re: let's settle this once and for all

Other. Variety is the spice of life, and a huge reason spyderco is such a success. I tend to gravitate toward pocket knives with clip removed for most carry. Dragonfly, chaparral, delica, native. I also like the police, military, and endura. And a lot of the salts. I prefer back locks to any other, ...

Re: Just a pocket knife

Nice knife. Simple, yet very useful. I remove the clips off any knife I truly pocket carry, as well. I was very happy when spyderco upgraded to removable carry clips instead of molded into the handle. The delica and native are the largest sizes I pocket carry, anything larger I tend to leave the cli...

Re: You guys can keep your straight spine Stretch

I like it. Looks good. Modding a standard stretch to a more straight spine type profile. Bravo. Probably a little lighter, takes up less space in the pocket, too.

Re: VG10 Damascus ?

It is basically a san mai using damascus as the outer layers over a vg10 core. That is the beauty of it.
