I’d be in for a Spyderco machete, especially in H1 or similar.

I may have to make my own machete out of LC200N if I can find the right hunk of metal

Oooh, nice!

Well, she has good taste in knives and a smart husband.

thanks Dan, although the latter assertion is debatable - I managed to stick myself with it real good whilst giving it a sharpen for her. On the upside, as least it’s had its requisite drink now and hopefully will leave my wife alone.

@Mrj @JoviAl @Wartstein @Mad Mac Here's some more information regarding the old email notifications: https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=96531#p1781875 @Mad Mac Please don't jump to alarming conclusions without all the information. It's a serious accusation to say our forum was infected with...

I'm quite jealous of your Catcherman, Lance. I really hope I can catch one while they're still around, and without paying crazy money, which is my only option atm. I really feel like time is running out. The PM2 salt looks nice. It's almost tempting me to give the PM2 another go, but I'll hold off ...

Same. Very strange. For a moment there I thought I’d gone viral

So…the knife arrived and is a thing of functional beauty. Then my wife claimed it as her own having just completed her Forest School operator certification. I couldn’t say no - she really loves it

Back to the drawing board

Smart move Al

I try to be gracious in defeat

One can only hope - I’ve developed a real preference for SE on my shorter (less than 4 inch) knives. I would love an SE manix salt.

Just playing devil’s advocate here but when you put the CBBL back together did you check the ball is fully exposed where it interacts with the lock surface? I put a manix XL back together in a rush a while back and accidentally put the cage in upside down. It still opened and closed but caused this ...

Worst comes to the worst it’ll just get reprofiled with extreme prejudice.

The Ti coating will act as a guide, so no worries.

Use whatever you want to use...this is a "see what happens" trial?

Very much

Al I would suggest using a black marker pen to blacken the area that you want to cut. Start with a tri-angle file to get the position, and file to almost the desired depth you think you need. THEN use the chainsaw file to get the profile. That sounds sensible. It’s the TiCN coated version of Aqua S...

Have you considered the Jumpmaster 2 - it’s functionally similar but a smidge more blade and a full tang. It’s a real do-anything knife - I use the absolute snot out of mine at work (I’m literally taking a break from pruning some Malaysian Dwarf coconut palms with it as I write this).

I have been looking for years for a Spyderco Fish Hunter. I've been scammed and I'm starting to lose hope. Is there anyone who knows where to find one or can sell me one? I'd be more than ecstatic. It's a perfect knife for my needs. Thanks guys. Hi, I’m in the same boat as you in searching for one ...

I don't think it works that way. I think the work hardening is in the manufacturing, at least I remember it being that way. Sharpening doesn't do it...though I have read some that say it will after a long time. I think it is a case that the teeth get a little rounded and therefore cut better. Those...

I was hoping to find an SE and a PE, but I’ve searched high and low and they’re like trying to find rocking horse . To be honest, I quite enjoy this kind of challenge.

Hey Al,

What is it you are trying to achieve?

sal

I can’t find an SE Aqua Salt for sale anywhere but I’ve secured a PE one on the secondary market from a guy in Japan. I’m planning on turning it into an SE using my chainsaw porting tools and a bit of patience (or possibly a lot of patience ).

I’ll be gunning for a similar shallow scallop profile to my much loved/abused Caribbean.

You can file H1 with a chainsaw file...but be prepared to take about 15 minutes for EACH large serrated concave profile. :cussing I’ve got plenty of those kicking about. I might try and hog out the initial stock removal with a conical carbide burr, then switch to a hand file for the last bit. It’ll...
