Spyderco Forums

Fixed blade all the way for use on game/butchering. I've done plenty with folders, but if it's at all in my power, a fixed blade is preferrable. The best Spyderco I've used for deer is the Bill Moran (drop point) by a large margin. I'd love a more wear resistant steel, but especially if you're just ...

Freshened up the edge on my 15V Para 3, so it's going in pocket for now.

Morning walk with K390 Delica

3 mile night hike, Para 3 in CPM 15V was along for the ride. Very calm and peaceful night.

What I'd really like is a Stretch 2 in Magnacut. I like both blade shapes but have a real softness for the original. On the other hand the straight spine - aka the improved version of the PM2 - is only available in K390 which is a great steel but often too corrosion prone for my use. I'd buy one ...

I voted for Golden, but Seki is a very close second for me.

But.... what's in the box???

If you're referring to a blade with a hollow grind, the Gayle Bradley 2 has a fine example of that.

My car is eternally dirty because I live several miles from a paved road. K390 Delica for scale.

Early morning hike after night shift of 3 miles around a local lake today. K390 Delica was along. The sky went from full of stars and a crescent moon to the colors of an excellent sunrise.

I feel like this is the first picture you've posted of a knife with a factory edge, must be new!


It's actually not factory, the blade was ...

Wandering About,

Man I don't know how you can actually use that K390 steel knife and keep it that clean lol. All of mine that I use are all stained and rusted up nasty bad lol.

It's gotten when the only time I bring mine out is the dead of winter, when I am not sweating so bad and it's freezing ...

Spyderco Delica 4 in K390 blade steel.

Haven't had my 15V Para 3 out for a while. Time to indulge my inner steel nerd. I've been rotating a couple Sebenzas most of the time the past few months and they do good with their MagnaCut, but I'm always impressed when I do go back to a Spydie and use and especially sharpen it... of course the ...

Shawn, this was fun and very educational. Any plans on doing another one?

Yeah we can do one once a month or two.

Please do. I didn't add any thoughts here, but appreciated the info and had fun doing a little of my own research to check on my thoughts/knowledge.
