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

I just don't care for the blade shape of the PM2. Never bothered to even consider it.

Very happy Spyderco makes so many knives.

My AD-10 was done by hand and took several hours to convex. It was worth the effort in both cases. Convex edge...

Re: Thin Edge Preservation

I did the same thing with my Cold Steel AD-10 that was stupid thick behind the edge. Haven't worked up to trying it on my Spydercos yes. They aren't that bad. I figured since I'll never sell it why not make it cut better. One day this summer it will get a full regrind. My AD-10 is my outdoor all pu...

Re: Thin Edge Preservation

This is the only knife I've thinned out. I used Harbour Freight diamond plates freehand. https://i.ibb.co/8Pn11pR/20230125-134716.jpg Not the prettiest but it cuts like a dream.
