I would be open to any ideas for a lightweight model but I just can't even imagine a C-60 model in FRN.

Well, that'd be a Salt C-60, wouldn't it?

Wasn't a fan of FRN at first but it's made me a believer. I'd buy a FRN Ayoob. MB two

I like the tanto shape but these days I don't buy from BHQ so I'm pretty much out of the running unless I want to pay the butt price on eBay, which I do not. I think there's some fair criticism of the way these exclusives drop but hey, I got my Elmax Wave opener PM2s so I'm prone to let it be. And o...

Man there's some straight fire in that reveal.

LC200N Catcherman (JD Spydo's gonna love that one), High Impact Ceramic Mule, PM2 and Manix 2 Salt, another LW Sage 5, and I'm liking the look of the Bodacious as well.

Now, to be patient....

That's an incredible find. And the prices on those older C-60 models were not nearly as bad as I would have thought. Not to mention all the other great GOLDEN ERA models in that line up as well. The owner has been selling off their personal collection, a tranche at a time, for the last few years by...

Knives Plus has a couple original BNIB collector's editions of the aluminum and VG-10 C60 Ayoob for sale, both PE and SE, for all y'all that may be interested. Some other stuff too.

ParaMilitary2 Emerson Opener Elmax Satin Blade Dark Gray G-10 C81GPGYW2 BladeOps (USA) is/was available for preorder at exclusive dealer. Expected shipping ETA is on or before October 13th, 2023. https://bladeops.com/spyderco-exclusive-dark-gray-g10-para-military-2-emerson-opener-satin-elmax/ https...

If I remember correctly, the Wharnie PM2 suck around for a good while. you do remember correctly. It was in stock for a month or two IIRC. Refreshing at a time where most PM drops sold out in well under an hour and some in a minute. Not sure if they miscalculated or they just were able to buy more ...

I have two SEs and two PEs -- got one of the Collector's Club versions of each, and a regular production version of each. Truth is somewhere along the line I became a collector, which is a fine way of saying I buy way too **** many knives to be able to give most more than cursory usage. But I have t...

When you work for certain parts of the government you come across a pretty good collection of what I call 'the lethal old men of the world'. They aren't muscular like the operators, they're grizzled looking with an old man's loose skin, they have these slow deliberate movements and while they don't ...

We gonna have an alert thread for the 15v knives or did the previous alert thread blow it? If the same people are just going to see it as an exercise in asserting their sense of personal sovereignty and not being told what to do by anyone ever, and that's all way more important than keeping the cha...

Isn't that 40 degree setting on the 204 Sharpmaker virtually the same angle you speak of??

Indeed, one and the same. Leaves the Cru-Wear plenty sharp.

The two times I've given my PE version a tune up I used the Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker at the 40 degree slots and I've had excellent results so far. And I do believe that is a decent angle for Cruwear the best I can tell. I took mine down to 20 DPS and it cuts like adamantium. It can go a lot lower if...

I'll be getting both of these. As soon as I am aeb-l to do so.

What?

I figured I'd missed the boat on Super Blue.

The zome doesn't mean anything to me but I might have to do this for a project now.

The custom HT must have been a home run, which even considering the source isn't a given going from a custom shop to a production one. The Para 2 isn't as surprising as the Shaman. Lotta steel there. They must really have it dialed in to go this quickly from one model to several. Or is 15V a lot mor...

I’m curious about the cost of “humble” blade steels vs. “super” blade steels… * Holding all other variables constant: Meaning, we don’t factor in such differences as: the Vanax will use up more belts to grind, or that one steel must be shipped and another not shipped, or that assembly costs vary, e...

Old guy I know, friend of the fam, retired designer, artist, avid sailor, used to say ‘Beauty is the promise of function”. Turns out he was quoting Horatio Greenough, an architect and artist who was a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson and James Fenimore Cooper and an early proponent of the functionalist...

I guess I'm the only one who thought 'horrible app' must be a Twitter reference.

Knife Center is offering another of their CruWear/smooth black G-10 models and this time it's a PM2. Out on the 27th according to the website. Is this one we've already seen? I don't recall it if so...
