Re: Sharpening Services


Nationalknives.com is where to get your sprint run. They are awesome to deal with. They box your knife wrapped in a microfiber towel that keeps even your boxes safe.

Vivi,
Get you one of the sprint run Police4 's, the Micro Melt PD #1 is really been some great steel with every one I have gotten. I have done close to 12 now and still counting lol...

I am not a big fan of the color of the scales, so I have either dyed them black or got some aftermarket one ...

Re: 15V Regular Production Plea

I thought the upcoming BBB folder would be in 15v and regular production, but I haven't heard anything about it as of late, so I could be wrong.

Re: Police XL Talk

Personally, nah. The Police 4 G-10 is already as perfect as an ergonomic large backlock for me.

One of the problems with a folder as large as the P4 is the tendency for the blade to be off-centered in the closed position. I have noticed this in other backlocks too, so I'm wondering if this problem ...

Perhaps. But only if BHQ is not given the exclusive rights to this one as well.



Weren't the standard black ones just regular production from Spyderco? I thought they just got the initial drop exclusive in their M4/jade combo.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!


Yeah, they have a more neutral handle profile, but they are also contoured rather than just flat slab scales, so I feel like they are more natural in the hand than the stock scales (much for the same reason the Shaman does as well). But there are certainly other aftermarket scale options to ...

Re: With all the knowledge on edge geometry out there, why are factory edges still so common?

Another probable reason for many folks is,

People would hate to mess up the edge of a Sprint run knife. Especially if it costs $150-200 or higher, and they have only one copy if it, getting it after spending precious time chasing drops until they score one.

If someone messes it up, usually there ...

Re: With all the knowledge on edge geometry out there, why are factory edges still so common?

Honestly, some just want to collect things and leave them at that state, right out of the factory.

Some also do not want the hassle of sharpening high performance steels, or do not have the time and patience to do so.

Me, I just like to collect some, and use some. I've sharpened some steels to ...

Re: Love for the little guys

Re: Blade shapes: Ladybug vs Manbug

I much prefer the Ladybug over the Manbug...the Manbug's thick squarish scales are uncomfortable for me. But I guess it depends on the size of the fingers one has.
