Heh, well, I didn’t appreciate the NKD post here. I still think it would make more sense to make a fresh NKD thread to show it off, rather than posting that in the middle of this thread. I’ve been a member here for ~4 months. Let me know when I’ve “put in enough time” to be allowed my own opinions....

NKD :winking-tongue “Ha ha”. How “cute”. Seriously, it’s bad form to post that in this thread. Sorry I thought this is where I post 15v pm2. Which thread should I use? Nobody likes a braggart. Make your own “NKD” thread. This one is for those of us who are still going through the agony of trying to...

“Ha ha”. How “cute”.

Seriously, it’s bad form to post that in this thread.

Sometimes I get an email on the alert thread, and sometimes no email comes through. Is that just kind of how it goes? Yes this is normal. Blade HQ's notification process is worthless for us and probably good for them to move stuff that doesn't immediately sell out to the stalkers. The notification ...

I’m going with my Lil Temperance3, (still breaking in the action, and it’s definitely improving), and my Ikuchi. It’s pretty easy to carry those two together.

That's fair. And a good point. All the youtube videos I watch, people always heap higher praise on S45VN over S30V. Good to know there isn't that much of a difference. But I still stand by my belief that S45 looks better. Maybe because it's brushed out so nicely on the PM2! Not a fan of the dull fi...

I understand some people being disappointed that the Mil2 will initially be produced with a S30V blade, as it’s “old news” in today’s market. However, when it comes to the steel’s performance; S30V holds up as a great general purpose knife steel. S45VN has a slightly different composition, (most not...

Will this be S45VN?

The initial Mil2’s will be S30V, according to dealers’ product descriptions.

Got another new, (old stock), S30V w/ G-10 Lil Temperance3 on the way. I like the first one so much that I had to get a second.

I’d prefer a satin, or ideally; a stonewashed finish on the blade As it is; welp, I already have DLT’s DLC CruWear PM2 with grape G-10 scales, so have little desire for the same thing, but more plain. Ymmv Still, I love to see exclusives like this. Imo, they’re superior to the “CruCarta” standard v...

I hate the ocean and everything in it, but for some in-explainable reason, I still want a Salt. :eye-roll Imo, the best “Salt” knives are the Caribbean, and the Siren. Buy a Caribbean and a Siren, (if ya don’t have em already). You’ll be glad ya did, even if you live and work exclusively in the des...

Are there supposed to be 4 PB washers around the pivot on this model? If so, why? I took my new one, (old stock), apart, and found 4 washers in there. I cleaned the action, lubed it, and put it back together with 2 washers, around the pivot. The action is a bit smoother now. Ymmv I do not know if a...

Carrying my Lil Temperance3 and my Ikuchi today. Thicc and thin, I think they’re a good carry combo.

My brother gave me an Ikuchi for Christmas. Love how sleek, lightweight, and slicey it is. Carried the Ikuchi with my Lil Temperance3 today. Thicc n thin, they compliment one another, imo.

https://postimg.cc/v4Y7Q35P ^ I picked up a few in 2022. Started with the BHQ satin M4Carta Shaman this past spring, which reignited my interest in folding knives; Spydercos in particular. I’ve gotten a few more since taking the pic linked above: Knife Joker DLC CruWear Lil Native, 2x BBB 15V Sprint...

Iirc, DLC coating is -80 HRC. Its very high wear resistance seems to reflect that.

I think I have more DLC coated blades than any other finish. The vast majority of those are Spydercos.

Got two 15V Manix2 Sprint knafs on the way, (different dealers). It’ll be nice to check this one off the (now very short), list. Also, this will be my first “regular” Manix2, (got a 4V XL already).
