Re: Spyderco's Rex 121 factory blade protection

This topic has come up in the past and seems to be a trade secret based on threads I’ve read. This is supported by Kristi’s response about desiccant and not the actual coating agent.

It may be in Spyderco’s interest not to divulge the exact coating agent to help with counterfeit detection (blades ...

Re: DLC Rex 121 DF2 Wharnie please.

I’m not holding my breath, but the WC DF2 is my daily driver and getting it in REX121 with corrosion protection would be a dream. Put me down for 2.

Re: Spyderco Knock-offs, "Replicas"and Fakes

Anyone know if it’s normal to have the Seki City Japan engraving so close to the pivot?

This is a used VG-10 model procured from a certain online auction site. All of my other Delica examples are sprints or wharnies with the engraving much closer to the plunge grind.

Re: Sage 5 in REX 121 + burnt orange


Got my G10 version a few days ago, finally got a chance to swap the pocket clip to left hand carry and give it a good look this morning. I have to say this is one of the best examples of Spyderco fit and finish I've ever seen. I do like the burnt orange color myself. Behind the edge it measures ...

Re: National Knife Day GAW!

Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe in K390. Ultra-light, great ergos, edge shape gives it scalpel-like precision with cuts, and the steel holds an edge forever. Patina on the blade is an added bonus.

Re: Huh, never seen Barkeeper's Friend do this...


It lists oxalic and citric acids and warns on the label that it can etch surfaces. Nasty stuff.


On the contrary these ingredients are both found in a variety of edible fruits and vegetables and are safe for human consumption in small quantities.

The acids in BKF will react with steel just ...

Not yet, but the Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe is worth checking out. K390 version is superb.

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?

Yes, absolutely. I live in a jurisdiction with a 2.5” limit so most of what I own is not legal for street carry.

For around the house use I gravitate toward 3”-4” blades like
Endela
Endura
Police 4
Native Chief

Local laws being as they are I end up leaving the house with
