Been a while since i've entered

That's crazy. After you clean it up, are you going to put it back to work and put it up dirty? If it happens again, I would send it to Spyderco and see if they can do any investigation. I haven't tried salt water on my Salt 2 in H2 yet, but I've definitely folded it up and put it away wet without ...

Been a while since I've updated this.
After a pretty brutal few months on my knives, I have seen mostly the staus quo but had a few surprises...

Magnacut is even more corrosion resistant than i originally wouldve thought. The occasional spot and around the pivot, but really no more than i ever got ...

This Pacifc salt 2 in H1 was my first entry into the world of spyderco. I live on the ocean, and make my living being on the water everyday, so i needed a knife that would never let me down. Years later and its still as trusty as ever I took this shot because the lighthouse is the most recognizable ...

pacific salt 2, might feel most familiar to your polices. H2 is gonna be (atleast on paper) more rust proof than lc200n, but in oractice they are pretty close unless youre dealing heavy salt exposure. PE i like lc200n better, and serrated its h2 for sure.

If you wanna try magnacut, a pm2 might ...

H1 pacific salt PE. Only bought it because of the rust proofness, and it started an obsession.

Last yellow handle i did to dark green was 3 parts peacock green to 1 part navy dyemore. Splash of vinegar at about 200 degrees. Dunked it and checked every few mins

I dont think i have anything that keeps a usable edge longer, or takes as much abuse as my h1/h2 serrated.

As others have mentioned, sharpmaker. Its really easy. Just watch sals intstructional video. If i really need to clean up a serration (or im doing a comboedge) ill use the round rod on my worksharp guided system, but 90% of the time a few minutes on the sharpmaker its back to even better than ...

A couple not listed id love to see are lc200n PE and h2 SE manix 2 lw.

Rock jumper salt would be sweet though too.

Boring answer, but Atlantic Salt In SE H1 and yellow frn scale.

Its just my perfect work knife. Easy to find handle, feels great in hand shackle key gets plenty of use and a steel that never lets me down. Also in, what is in my opinion, its best edge style.

For science!

Seems fine to me. Brushed some on and no bleed on the qtip. Honestly though though this was my only knife where the pivot coating wasnt totally worn off from just usage. Wouldnt stress it too much acetone or not, itll wear off ...

Id like to see it. I carry a PE and SE eveeyday for work anyway. 1 tool would make my pockets lighter.

Maybe too big of a wish but id love to just see a whole rigging/ sailing tool. PE with some sort of pointy tip, some sort of blunt tip SE, and a marlin spike. Basically the tusk with an extra ...

Well this was the toughest judging ive done yet. Well done everyone, each picture had a case to be #1, but i had to it down.

In first place is barnaclesonaboat and his monochome shot. Its really a tasteful picture and striking even without really any color. Well done

Lets see a couple more shots in today before i pick tonight. Toughest week ive had to judge yet, but always room for more. You've got until tonight's bruins game ends. (Probablly around 9 EST).

Guys, its only tuesday and i can tell its already gonna be a tough week for me. Slow down haha.

In all seriousness great job so far. Lets see some more, gonna be a great week of entries

Congratulations @Windward and thank you @JSumm, yeah Jeff it’s definitely bittersweet to be the judge especially when there are a lot of good photos like this past week but it’s kinda like watching the Voice…somebody has to win even though in reality there were multiple winners…great job now go ...
