Re: Can I has: MAGNACUT PARA 3 LW.
If the pair of these I ordered work out like I hope they do, there will be more P3 LWs in my future, definitely including a MagnaCut. https://heinnie.com/titech-titanium-scales-for-para-3-lightweight/ Are these and the AWT scales the only options for the Para 3 LWT? I like AWT but not the "ski...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
I'm tempted to get one of these because they are so unique, but I've had a few HIC kitchen knives for a while now and it bothers me that there isn't a great way to sharpen them. I've been able to do some coarse reshaping with diamond plates when I chipped a section of edge near the tip off, but the ...

Re: Sage 5 in REX 121 + burnt orange
No link or reference in the OP, is this something really being offered, if so where? Or is this another "wouldn't it be neat" type thread?

Re: Science of sharp 15v analysis
The pictures were excellent, the analysis did seem kind of wandering and aimless.

Re: New Discoveries found in 8Cr13MoV testing
That was a good article, seemed pretty much in line with what's been said on 8CR before, but of course with the science to back it up. The most interesting part to me was that the Byrd manufacturer initially tried to pass their 8CR off as 440C to Spyderco until Spyderco tested the composition. I won...

Re: Reveal 15: Shivering with Anticipation
Please do the Bow River in LC200N or magnacut. Would be an amazing camp knife In general it's hard for me to get too excited about another reveal when I still can't get knives from the last one, and the must-buy list was long enough there to tie up my knife funds for a while. That said, I have want...

I'm thinking the upcoming Chief Salt in MC might be a standout for backpacking.

Re: I don't give a #@$! about stainless
Word. Is there anything in my name that would make anyone think I'm a fan of stainless? Anyone ever machine stainless? It's awful. Anyone ever get slivers of stainless under their skin? It's awful. Why would anyone want their knife to look like pots and pans? Real men do real work in real shops wit...

Re: Native Chief LW
These days if I'm going to get FRN, I'd prefer it be yellow so I can dye it any color I want, or do a fade since I actually like the darker Magnacut Salt yellow. I haven't seen much wear on my dyed N5, but if it does wear, no big issue, I'll probably leave it as is, and if it eventually bothers me, ...

Re: Native Chief LW
The Chief Salt in MC is my number 1 knife from this excellent reveal, although I'll have to have one of the PM2 Salts and maybe a manix salt as well. I have the peacock green and cherry red Rit ready, but not sure which one I'll use, maybe a double fade with both. While I like ~3" knives for ED...

Re: CPM 15V PM2
So is there a second wave of these coming out, or was this lot some kind of residual? Trying to decide whether I should be watching closely for drops at other retailers.

Re: Magnacut Paramilitary 2
This is definitely the next PM2 in my collection, I'm kind of a late bloomer of a PM2 enthusiast, but a G10, Salt, lightweight-ish PM2 in Magnacut is kind of a mic drop on the pattern.

Re: Spyderco Bow River
8Cr sharpens faster than those steels. Much quicker to reprofile. That's true, I use my KME for most sharpening and all reprofiling, a lot of the time is in setup, and I don't notice big time deltas between most steels, but if you're using a sharpmaker or something like that I can see the benefit. ...

Re: Spyderco Bow River
I've always thought that would be a good design to offer a sprint with better steel in. S35VN like the tenacious for twice the price of the 8cr version would be compelling. What do you find lacking with the 8CR13MOV steel that would make the S35VN a better choice?? There are no better steels unless...

Re: St. Nick’s Exclusive red and black Goddard!
I went to buy one and wound up checking out with the S90V Siren deal instead.... Not sure what happened.
