Re: Serrated Edge for Hunting?
I tried serrations for hunting and personally didn't like them. But I also don't like serrations in general.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Large aluminum plates with forced air to race to under 1000f Interesting. I've been sitting here for half an hour contemplating this. You can pull the blade from the furnace, unwrap it, stick it between aluminum blocks, and get it clamped before it cools too much? And then the aluminum dissipates h...

Re: EDC Hygiene: Fixed Blade VS. Folder
A fixed blade with glued scales that are not porous/absorbent is probably the easiest to keep clean, assuming the sheath is also easily cleaned (kydex or other plastic that are washable without ruining the sheath). Stainless knives that are easily washed without issue are also good... I do like fold...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Got out for a ride today. UKPK Salt is a great cycling knife, super light and worry free in a cycling jersey pocket.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Fascinating stuff, Shawn. Thanks for the micrographs, those are really interesting to see! You pull no punches when it comes to big kitchen knives with the high carbide steels. That big 15V kitchen knife you made some time back still haunts my thoughts from time to time (in the best way).

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
My first USA Spydie was an original mini Manix back lock... it's a fine knife but I prefer several other knives to it.

Re: New Discoveries found in 8Cr13MoV testing
So, how would the edge angle affect the results? Say, 30º inclusive vs 20º inclusive? What was the angle of the edge being tested and how thin behind the edge was the blade? If you're asking about Larrin's CATRA testing, there's a section in this article describing their test blade design and it do...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
This one needed a sharpening a couple days ago, much better after that. Goes a long time between sessions with a stone!

Haven't carried my CruCarta PM2 for a long time, so today seemed like a good day to get it out.

Couldn't decide between the favorites, so it's both for today. This bleak black and white picture is my sad protest against being stuck inside for the day.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Definitely will have to get a G10 Para 3 with 15V. Was hoping that would happen, I do like the Para 3 as a sub 3 inch knife.

Very early for things to be growing here, but it is what it is. Nice weather for a 7 mile hike in the afternoon though.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
Missed this thread. I'll have to try for a 15V Millie 2, that's just too cool. The microjimbo is interesting too, we'll see how I feel when it hits the market.
Looking forward to what else there is to see!

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
Seeing a couple pics on Instagram. Looks like I'll have reason to get a Military 2 (spoiler alert it's 15V).

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Got out for a little fishing. 15V PM2 was along for the journey. This was a bit of a "redemption" trip to a stream I'd tried to fish years ago. I was very new to fly fishing at that time, and picked a hot summer day, which was far from ideal. Much of the canyon this creek resides in is cho...
