Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
Well, I've gotten a chance to use and carry my Rockjumper as well as sharpen it a couple times. I've not been able to find any downside to the design and I like it a lot... While in-hand, it feels like a natural extension of my arm, it's sturdy, I have high confidence with it when putting muscle beh...

Re: SPY27 Native 5 Lightweight
I'm curious what you guys think of how it sharpens and how it holds an edge.
I have the Para3 LW SPY-27 and I'm very happy with it.

Re: PSA: Pakkawood Police 4 blade hits backspacer/backspring
The thing with buying a knife from Knife Center is that if you have a problem, just call them. This is their exclusive and Spyderco might not even have inventory on hand to issue a replacement. Knife Center will email you a shipping label that you can print and use to ship it back to them. They'll r...

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread
I've got to say that the PM2 Tanto has found some real utility in my life. It finds pocket time however it competes with about two dozen other Spyderco knives for that pocket time. Mostly it's in my safe unless there's a specific reason to carry it, simply because I prefer other handle materials ove...

Re: Long Term Knife Storage Corrosion Protection
I use Rem Oil if it doesn't need to be food safe or mineral oil if it does. In all scenarios I'll apply a couple of drops of Nano Oil or KPL into the pivot. Sometimes I'll use EDCi but but now prefer products that dont need to be rubbed in... with oils I can just wipe it on and then wipe it off, it'...

Re: New Double Sided CBN Benchstone
I'm excited to see Spyderco get back to their "first we made things sharp" side What would be a nice coarse diamond to complement this with? DMT XXC/XC or Aroma 140? I use a 140 grit plate only for repairing a significant chip, or substantial loss at the tip. Basically just for blade shap...

Re: Rex 45 sharpening
Haven't seen a steel yet that I couldn't sharpen with high quality SIC stones. I have seen almost all of them over the years.... Including S125V and MAXAMET.... You're post is missing the final ingredient that allows you to get get it done with high quality non-diamond abrasives, and that is experi...

Re: Rex 45 sharpening
I've sharpened k390 with no problem, is it similar to that If you can sharpen K390, you'll definitely be able to sharpen REX-45. The two have different personalities. K390 introduces sharpening difficulty from carbide type and volume whereas REX-45 brings difficulty from high hardness. Both are no ...

Re: Rex 45 sharpening
Compositionally there's no reason REX-45 necessarily requires diamond or CBN. It's almost analogous to HAP40, a high end Japanese cutlery steel that is traditionally sharpened without diamonds or CBN.

Re: Dragonfly & Manbug K390
My Orange HAP40 has a much smoother action, but Ive had it longer. Added a little Nano oil to both. Lol, that HAP40 is smooooooth I think the K390 will wind up being as smmoth.... Mine is already loosening up and getting really smooth. Cool. Mine is just a little gritty when you first start to open...

Re: Dragonfly & Manbug K390
I got mine yesterday, immediately put a fresh edge on it, and it's sitting in front of me on my desk at work now.
Arguably the K390 Dragonfly is the most powerful sub 2.5" folding knife ever made by humans, at least in terms of cutting power.

Re: S35vn on the Tenacious...what does it mean?
My first thought is that this will open the door to all kinds of new options from the China partner, which is exciting. My assumption is that the existing partner will be making it simply because Spyderco seems to do everything possible to maintain existing relationships As a side note, I'd be part...
