Would you all want serrated options or only plain edge?

I would want options with teeth.

I’d honestly like to see the occasional sprint of the Emerson opener Seki models (Dragonfly 2, Delica 4, Endela, Endura 4). I rather like the Delica and Endela Emerson opener models. Grey FRN and Cruwear would be my preference. I’d pick SPY27 as a second choice.

I will say I don't think they cut as well as most Spyderco's I have, even after reprofiling, but they are certainly capable of getting work done ....


This is also my experience. I also verified it via my calipers. It's pretty amusing given how thin the ...

I was wondering what people were complaining about until I saw the price of the new G10 UKPK salt, $100 more than the G10 SPY27 UKPK. Guess I’m sticking to my Spydiechef.



I made the same comparison. Then I looked at the difference between a G-10 SPY27 Para 3 and a DLC Para 3 G-10 Salt ($25 ...

Hey, All:

The error in the copy was my mistake. I apologize.

Stay safe,

Mike

No need for the apology. Stuff happens. You're a fantastic writer and communicator and your work is much appreciated.

The Damas ivory Chaparral has skeletonized nested liners.

Thanks Sal!

@Michael Janich might you be able to answer this query?

its listed weight is 2.3 oz just like most other Chaparrals.

It was the case on the older Ti Chaps. But they could take the hit from the internal stop pin. I don't know if this one will keep the stop pin anyway, have a metal insert in the G10, or get rid of the stop pin altogether.


Yes, I could see the linerless G-10 Chaparral being a copy error or maybe ...

Is this Chaparral really linerless?

from Reveal 20, page 7:
CHAPARRAL®
IVORY G-10 DAMASTEEL®

The Chaparral family has traditionally focused on highlighting unique
handle materials and treatments. This stunning new addition to the
series helps usher in a new era of sophistication by ...

I am very very interested to see a PM2 lightweight taken apart.
One washer or two or even none?
One liner or two or none other than the locking leaf?
I wonder if it has two washers and two shorter liners kinda like a Military 1?

The difference is subtle but there is a difference. The traditional Chaparral blade shape has more of a "bullnose" than shown on the Rex 121 version. The Rex 121 model has a more acute leaf shaped blade, omitting that "bullnose" shape.

Thanks, I totally see it now.

The G-10 UKPK Salt and 15v lightweight lil Native garnered my attention.

@Mushroom the blade shape on the chaparral might just be photoshop at this point.

Figured I post this for more discussion fodder. I recently built this one up using my BBB brown G10 scales (blade went into my fluted Ti handles) and an OG-style blade. I sold it a few weeks ago (maybe I shouldn't have!). Cheers, Radioactive

I don’t remove the clips, but I regularly carry my pocketknife unclipped in my pocket. I like to keep the clip on so there’s a little more leverage or grip while opening one handed. I only do this with lockbacks and slip joints unless the knife is in a slip. Usually this is a Native 5, Delica ...

That's really really cool. How strong is the detent on it?
Is it good at staying closed or can you shake it open?

Here's an LC200N / Z-Finit datasheet.

Heat treatment is on page 2.
The *lowest* tempering temperature in the table is 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
That's well above the temperature of your bread.

Can you swap the blade from the Edgerati to the shaman?


I *think* the Edgerati blade is thinner, so in theory if you have the right washer stack, I think it could work. The opposite, I'm not so sure, although I was talking to one of the SFO guys today I think he was mentioning that someone ...

Anyone have thoughts or an idea how the Manix Salt dropped in weight ? A standard G10 model weighs in at 4.9 ounces and the Salt version comes in at 4.2 ounces . Thinner scales with the cuts , different liners ? Really a nonissue for me just curious. I will wait until the Bumblebee versions come ...
