Spyderco Forums

Bought my only one for its steel (Maxamet), used it, reprofiled it, customized it, and it's permanently in my collection, along with the PM2 Maxamet, which is reprofiled and customized in the same way.


Do you have pics or more info on the reprofile and customization?

My only pm3 is also ...

#1 Native Chief 15V
#2 Native 15V G10 (maybe. I already have the LW)
#3 Chaparral Rex121
#4 Native Crucarta
#5 Native Chief Crucarta

1 wood
2 Ti
3 micarta

Native Chief SE in Magnacut.

Ended up getting the NC, mainly for the ergos, the Magnacut spyderedge and that it's made in Golden..
Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions.

Any news on the Rex121 Chap?

got the lw. my only 15v so far. the other will be the BBB special.

I used cuscadi.de a number of times (i'm in the EU), but i think they ship worldwide.
They made panels for my GB2, Sage 1, Manix 2, Military, PM2, P3.

…have you considered…just buying both?

lol

Deep down I always knew that is my destiny

I didn’t vote the poll because the Chief Salt and the Stretch XL Salt are both great knives. Bright yellow handles, rustproof, pointy. The Pacific Salt has the more durable dropped tip, which may be better for you. I personally prefer the FFG blades.



Thank you, i do like that dropped tip a lot ...

Also interested how the serrated H2 will work out for you! I am sure you´re aware of the many accounts saying that in H1/H2 the edge retention of the SE version increases by a lot more over the PE version than in any other steel...


I read Larrin's writeup the other day about H1/H2 steels ...

Yes, I am in Europe. It's not so bad, i can usually find what i want or i just order from the us or go to ebay.
BTW, the Rock Jumper is a wharnie and I already have the Caribbean sheep foot SE. Would be a bit redundant.

Thanks to everyone who voted though, looks like the Stretch is the winner ...
