Spyderco Forums

I wanted to form an opinion first hand so I challenged myself to carry and use SE knives for a period. My rotation included various models – Endela (both factory and re-profiled), Native 5, Leafjumper, Salt, and Pac Salt – across different steels like Magnacut, K390, H1, LC200N, and VG-10.

I am now ...

Yes you are worrying too much unless you actually have a defective knife. Post a picture of it and folks here will be able to tell you if it is normal or not.

There have been very few issues reported with that knife. Many people regard it as one of the best, if not the very best, EDC knives made by ...

Man, the SPY27 Bodacious is so tempting, but I am holding out some SPY27 SE versions.

Unless they have some surprises coming out that might be a long wait. I've had a preorder in for a SE Bodacious for so long I don't remember when I put it in.

I'm a patient man. I hope.

There's no doubting the science. K390 will hold an edge much much longer. But.... if you're like me and touch up your blades all the time, then it's a wash. I don't use my knives for extensive sessions of breaking down cardboard. I have utility knives for that. I don't cut miles of rope. They just ...

Only one thing I can do in order to offer any kind of intelligent reply to this thread. Carry my CE Endela for a while so I can have an opinion on the matter. Will report back later!

Use a Sharpmaker with CBN rods. K390 just takes a little more work, but I don't have any issues keeping my SE K390 sharp using the method Sal teaches in the product video for the Sharpmaker.

The Dyad and the SE Shaman LW stuck out to me.

Will the serrated edge chew up wood cutting boards?

No more than a plain edge knife.

I´d be interested how much or if at all a difference in "sliciness" can be perceived between Para 3 and Sage... conceptually I clearly think that the 3mm of the Sage blade are more than thick enough for such small folders, but given the a bit taller blade of the Para 3, or possibly the tapering ...

It's hard to add to what has already been posted. Both knives fill the same need. They are both wonderful 3-inch compression lock pocket knives with finger choils. I can't say that one is better than the other as an overall knife.
I prefer the Sage because of the less pronounced thumb ramp and ...

My H1/H2 knives collects scratches like a door mat collects dirt….two days from new they look years old… dunno

Just shows that they are getting used. I support the scratches! I am sometimes bothered with pictures of "user" knives that are clearly not being used very much.

It is possible for our Govt to crack down on eBay, who are allowing and greatly profiting off of the Chinese counterfeits. But you're right, there is currently no political will stop it. And if government can't or won't protect individuals' property rights, then what do we even need them for ...

Great looking scales on that Endela!

Thanks! K390 + micarta = awesome patina

I stumbled on a site with some unreleased models for sale. Gotta admit. It looked convincing. I wonder how many people fall for it or just plain don't care that they're getting a fake.

This is an old thread that showed up in a search about pivot corrosion.

I am finding more and more that my fears of corrosion make less and less sense. I mean, sure, if left in a drawer wet with sweat or salt water it might cause some damage. But that never happens. Even if it did, is it something ...

... I don´t keep any, no matter how rare or expensive they are if I DON`T use them in a wide variety of tasks...

I have to figure out how to sell some. I have a handful that are just taking space. I thought I'd like them but I don't.
