Re: S110v to delicate more of a safe queen???

I carry S110v everyday. I have a half dozen or so S110v Spyderco. I use two flat stones, an ultra fine Spyderco stone and a 600 grit diamond plate. I’ve carried at least one of these knives everyday for a very long time. Never… I’ll repeat that.. Never had the any of the issues that are often repea...

I think I might have to field dress and maybe skin a deer with my chap this year if I’m lucky enough to get one.

Re: Sharpening Dual Grit Edges

Good to have you here Gabe! I have dabbled in the dual grit edge myself in the earliest days of your YouTube channel. I found it impressive, but I haven’t kept up with it due to laziness when it comes to sharpening lately. One stone and a couple swipes on the stop for me lately. I might need to try...

Re: Whats the next hot piece?

Choil-less Shaman? Is that still in the works? Yes! It is in prototype stage but looks closed to finished. It has a thinner blade stock too. Has there been a photo of it out or anything? Thinner blade stock sounds very nice. I quite enjoy my shaman, though it seems to be cursed. Every time I carry ...

Re: Dream Salt Knives

I would love it with frn but I’m quite partial to the compression lock or back lock even. I would still probably buy it with a liner lock but I wouldn’t like it as much and would likely not carry it often. I understand, preferring linerlocks over comp.locks is just personal preference - both are go...

Re: Dream Salt Knives

I pray for a Kapara salt all the time. I haven’t tried lc200n but I have several magnacut blades and I find it to behave like a stainless cruwear with perhaps a touch less edge stability. I think it would work well on a Kapara. I would love it with frn but I’m quite partial to the compression lock ...

Re: New Stretch 2 XL: Compared to PM2 & Endura

I recently picked up a lightweight and the geometry is very nice on it. It’s one of my favorites to cut with. I look forward to the salt version and the k390 version. I have been wanting to try k390 anyway.

Re: Will 15v become regular production for flagships?

I haven’t been fortunate enough to snag a 15v folder yet. That being said I hope it does make it into full production models. If a para 3 is done in 15v I will be trying hard to get one.

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?

I like my PM2, I gave my Manix 2 to a friend because I hated it. I never could put my finger on why I hated it but I just couldn’t stand to use it. I loved the lock but that’s the only thing I liked about it. My
Pm2 on the other hand, that thing is a workhorse.

Re: feathersticking

I use the spine on my resilience to do super fine curls that ignite with a spark no problem. The spine is a nice sharp 90 that works like a charm. Honestly I think the resilience is one of the best outdoor folders I’ve come across. I bought one a long while back and it’s been an amazing beater. I li...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

I love my kapara. It’s my favorite knife. I did upgrade it with RGT python micarta scales because I thought they were the coolest looking thing out there. I was surprised how much extra grip it gave me and how much more secure it feels in hand now. I keep casually looking for another one to use hard...
