Re: What to use to protect tool steel blades


This is a good read.

Soiler alert, but you really should give that page a read it's a really thorough test.

Re: Is k390 overrated?


Every steel is overrated to somebody. I would choose 15V over it if I had the choice, but I don't always have that choice (and likely won't at all in the future). I am however very interested in seeing how MagnaMax turns out if it's supposed to be similar to K390 but also ultra corrosion resistant ...

Re: stretch 2 compression lock



Of course i can only speak for myself, but the day every Spyderco comes with compression lock is when i look elsewhere for interesting designs and knives.
I don't hate the compression lock but i don't see it as the second coming of Christ/ best invention since sliced bread either.. :)

Re: Which Spyderco models should be discontinued to make room for newer models/variations?


The only one that comes to mind is the wharncliffe Lil' Native. Not because it isn't great, but because of it's overlap with the Microjimbo. Keep the Microjimbo as the wharncliffe. Keep the Lil' Native as a drop point. Nobody designs wharnies better than Michael Janich.

A few knives do this, both my Shaman are like this as well, I only checked as others mentioned it or I wouldnt have even noticed, havent looked at the other 30 plus spyderco I have, either way I have never had an issue with it, its never caught on anything so it really doesn't bother me.

Re: If you could choose one new Spyderco to be released in K390, which would it be?

Voted for Bodacious as I was thinking that the minute I had my bodacious in hand how awesome it would be in k390, also would put the Gayle Bradley 2 right there with it. Those are the 2 knives I think would be best with the steel.

now a dream knife that I just want but doesnt make as much sense as ...

Re: Help me decide. PARA3/Cru Carta vs GB2

Good choice, GB2 is a knife I wish I got earlier, I had no idea how much I would like it, I prefer the PM2 size to the para 3 but have a para 3 and it has a place, That said the GB2 is almost perfect, I am not a fan of liner locks but on this one I dont care, the rest makes up for it. great EDC and ...

Tough choice for sure. I've got an S30V DLC Military 2 already that I carry alot. But I've been really wanting to try Spyderco's take on XHP. I have a SOG Kiku XR in XHP that I absolutely love, and I'm willing to bet that Spyderco's heat treat ...

Wish we could see some K390 on some of the more popular models like the PM2 (yeah I know the bento box, but exclusives are difficult to get in Canada) Military 2, Manix 2, Shaman, GB2 (this one makes perfect sense to me) Native 5, etc, hopefully all with G10 versions not just LW.

Great knife, amazing ergos, the lock is really nice, ambidextrous and solid. One of the best models IMO and a great bang for the buck, it has more materials to make it solid than the PM2 yet its cheaper somehow lol. Its a great user knife.

the G10 version feels like a tank, its like the Shaman and ...
