Re: MAXAMET as a BD present. Which to pick up, P3 or PM2?

What kind of pants does he wear? With many jeans, the pockets are sometimes tight and both knives may prove an annoyance to him as they make it difficult to get your hand in and out. When I lost my PM2 I replaced it with a much thinner K390 Endela. But still, I miss that knife. I haven't handled a ...

Re: Para 3 LW poor scale grip vs D4

You guys have me second guessing myself. I was going to buy a Para 3 LW but have since decided to hold off until I can see it in person. Hopefully my local dealer gets one in soon. yes, you should feel it, play with it, try to put it on a desk, then grab... Me personally, this is how, I was confuse...

I don’t know why Spyderco can’t take their Seki formula and apply it to the Golden knives? I really much prefer the Japan FRN to the US one. It has a sort of micro texture that the US FRN doesn’t.
thank you for this information. I haven't taken into account, the scales are of different origen!!

Para 3 LW poor scale grip vs D4

Want to share my disappointment in P3 LW scale texture. Can't get used to its slippery glossy edges. I was sure, the FRN quality was the same as on Delica 4, which I love for it's handy proportions and great grip of small handle. Never ever slipped out of my hand. Otherwise, P3 LW always tends to ju...

This is from light or non textured scales under the clip, such aggressive texturing like diamond arc or Cold Steel’s G10 texture can do even worse

Diamond Arc texture. Pros and Cons.

All spyderco fans, have a good day! I'm a new spyderco fan, and my first spyderco was PM2 s45vn Diamond Arc Forest Green. Then, I paired it with PM2 s90v DLC OD scale. For me, this combo is perfect! I can carry one , with diamond texture, then grab s90v with a bit smoother texture, and it feels like...

I have personally swapped into the LW frame: maxamet, s110v, rex45, m390. The latter two were in the days before the LW versions came out. They all worked fine both ways.
got it! appreciate!

I have personally tried this between an M390 Para 3 and a REX 45 Para 3 LW and it worked fine. I did it mostly because I was curious, but it’s important to note that both of my blades were satin finish.
