Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

It's good news because these are definitely not sold out. Demand is slowing.

Re: Sal, what are your thoughts on the SE pattern on the new Ayoob?

With all the problems with the factory, he could have stopped this project any time and not waste any more precious resources and money for a project that may or may not break even for the company. I hope I'm wrong, but there is the possibility that Spyderco might not be making any income on this p...

Did the prototypes have this serration pattern?

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Ladybug and I see it similarly. I love this knife and I’m grateful to Sal and the Spyderco team for making it happen. We waited so long I would have happily waited even longer to “get it right.” I’ll post a picture of my snaggletooth shortly, but it’s a factory second type knife with an obvious flaw...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

so... this came today. and... i had every intention of not being picky about the serrations being perfect. however, what in the world is going on here, spyderco? i expected better coming direct from spyderco. Agree 100%. I’ve been anticipating this knife for a long time. Very disappointed. About th...

Personally I would be A-OK if they used VG-10 for the SE version.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

I need to stop hijacking this thread, but is there a particular reason I should pick H1 over LC200N? No. If you have the choice, go with LC200N - better hardness and toughness with identical corrosion resistance. LC200N has a max hardness of about 60 Rc with edge retention and wear resistance simil...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Cruwear will still undoubtedly be a huge improvement over VG-10>> which up till now has been the only blade steel you could get the C-60 Ayoob in PE or SE either one. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't use SPY-27 because that was sort of what I was expecting. With the caveat that everyone's nee...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

I'm excited about the pending release, but I don't get the hype about Cruwear. It's the S35VN/Elmax of the High Alloy Tool Steel crowd with similar (or identical) edge retention. With Elmax, you get above average corrosion resistance but average toughness to pair with that middling hardness. With Cr...

Re: Favorite Unique Spyderco Knife

Straight Spine Manix XL mod with two tone dyed scales from an M4 sprint run and some acid etching on the blade. Carried it yesterday figuring it was about as close as I'm getting to the Stretch XL for now. Thanks very much. Is it the final version of the knife in https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopi...

Yojumbo is a pretty funky looking design too, but it works really well for EDC IMO.

Re: Has the Paramilitary 2 ship sailed?

I don’t know about you, but if I can’t get my first choice I just won’t buy what I perceive to be an inferior alternative. Totally agree. I missed the S90V and 204P releases so I'm waiting patiently for something on the secondary market. Also would consider LC200N or Magnacut. But honestly my two S...

Re: SE performance is more than simply teeth vs no teeth.

I also prefer SE. I'm normally carrying this PM2, but sometimes the Para 3. I like the spiky serrations, particularly for opening boxes or cutting tape. I put a single serration on the edge and just drag it.
