Re: Military Sprint Runs No More?

I just asked my local dealer to get me a Camo DLC Military. JIC, before they're gone too.
If I will have a DLC coated blade, let it be a Millie. Also, strangely, I don't have anything in my entire collection in S30V, which is a classic of the blade steel category.

Re: S110v to delicate more of a safe queen???

I microconvexed my S110V Military the first time it went dull and now, three or four sharpenings later, I can say I didn't have any problem with it.. The same goes for my maxamet PM2 amd P3 and a few other ones.

Hi Fireman,

So what you want is a Spyderco Machete? With teeth?

Re: What does “ergonomic” mean to you?

No hotspots and a neutral handle, that's large enough in all grips, so I can transfer the most power to the edge without experiencing any type of discomfort.

Re: What Spyderco Knife Has Surprised You the Most and Why

I really love the PITS. I am still surprised I can't find any flaws.

Also, after the FRN and G10 models, the carbon fiber Native 5 is a completely different experience.

Re: I don't care about stainless *Edited

Another swamp dweller here. So far only SK85 and K390 rusted/pitted (red rust, despite the patina) on me in a substantial way. So much so, I don't think I will be buying any more knives in these steels. In my experience, D2, A2, M4, 3V, Rex45 are all doing okay, developing patinas, with some minimal...

Re: Reveal 15: Shivering with Anticipation

I am waiting for the SE Chaparral. It's fine if that's the only Spyderco I buy this year. I can wait until next year for the BBB folder.

Pole mounted. Nothing crazy like a halberd, but maybe a CS Bushman. :-)
Otherwise, I already carry what I want, legal or not, nobody really cares.

Spy27 is so easy to sharpen, you don't even have to sharpen it.. Just strop.

Re: What knife is best for…

I think maybe the Centofante. But any hollow ground and sheepfoot/wharnie, like the Swayback would be good. I was very happy even with the Caribbean sheepfoot SE, with the Maxamet Sage and with the Chaparral.

Do we really need even more excuses to carry two or three knives?
Many EDC a separate knife for food.

Re: 2023 - Did your preferences change or stay the same?

My preferences oscillate only with the seasons; large knifes for the winter, small ones for the summer. The Stretch 2 XL G10 found its place among my other two favorite large folders (the OG Millie and the Chief), but the Military is still my favorite. I bought a Magnacut Native so I can use its bla...

Re: Bark River Knives

Thanks! Had to look up the specs of the Kansbol, and sure enough, they are pretty close.
This knife is a touch smaller than what I imagined it will be, but feels nice and agile in the hand.
