We've been using it as a "Stable" steel for decades.

Good thing too. My Delica has cemented itself as my EDC.

Interesting comparison and very close up videos of cuts. The grit progression didn’t matter as much. More about getting a correct apex with the coarse stone. Stropping is optional but can be good.

I constantly hear how good their warranty is but have anyone ever used it?

Interesting looking knife. I was expecting to see a $16 Mora Companion after reading the title. What kind of steel? Sandvik 12C27. I do love my Mora knives but sometimes I want a full flat rather than a scandi. Handle is very comfortable and more grippy after putting the electric tape on it. Have y...

VG10 works well with the sharpmaker too. Touched my up on the 15° angle and takes a nice edge.

Sandvik 12C27. I do love my Mora knives but sometimes I want a full flat rather than a scandi. Handle is very comfortable and more grippy after putting the electric tape on it.

I should pick up a VG10 Endura. Seems like it would pair well with my Swiss Army knife. Both lightweight but useful for different tasks

Another reason to love salts. I by accident set this in some poison ivy (dried leaves and vines) while working in the back yard. Was able to scrub it down with soap and water. I still caught a rash lol

Held up to some batoning some hard wood and was still able to shave thin pieces. The edge feels very thin and sliced through wood like a dream. Sheath is a ni...

I’m waiting for that SPY27 one.

I use my salt knives for food prep all the time. I don’t use them on super dirty stuff daily anyway and I can always wash them in the sink when done.
I would wager that a fixed blade is better for food prep as it’s easier to clean than a folder.

Really liking this one

Picture screams summertime

All I can grow are dandelions

A delica or Endura in SPY27 would be a great buy for sure

I read something that they were going to use SPY27 on the Endura line. Which would be awesome Where did you get this information ? I like the idea but strange Delica and Endela are not included ? MG2 https://i.postimg.cc/ryPsP2nq/IMG-8589.jpg Found it under the casual bombshell thread. Was a link t...

I’ve also noticed that many reviews/channels that are geared towards beginners often say edge retention is the best attribute of steel. I would argue easy of sharpening for the beginner.

Is this a folder or a fixed blade?

3 tests; Average = 59.7

This is typical. Old and new VG-10 the same.

I appreciate you checking. I guess VG10 isn’t the slouch YouTube says it is

Thanks! I’ve been really surprised with the VG10 on my Delica I bought last year. No chips or rolls and the retention has been really good. Interesting you'd say that: I always have the feeling that "new" VG10 (so on my newer Seki Spydies) holds an edge longer than "old" VG10. C...
