Re: Steels you won't buy...and why

BD1 - tried it in a Manix2 it's my only Spydie that I regret buying. Don't know if it's a bad heat treatment or what.

Re: Which knives you like so much, you buy duplicates or varieties?

Re: Steel Poll - What new steel would you like to try/test on a Spyderco Mule Team knife

There are many steels to try... Having a line of Mule (maybe always in stock, in s30v or spy27), to have as a comparison with the new steels would be useful and also the only system to really try a comparison.... Agree. I'm searching the forum now to see if others have said similar thoughts. I woul...

Howdy!
