Back to work.

If its absolutely trash, I just run it over the coarse stone a bit to give it a really toothy edge and hand it back. Some of the ones I've seen are never going to take a proper edge, and their owners apparently have never experienced one.

I always just add that its the best I can do, but if they ...

A nib 15v PM2. Because I didn't have one, and I really need so little justification to pick up another PM2.

I would definitely spring for a Crucarta Native 5 and Chief. Especially the Chief. Would probably snag a lil' Native too if they became available.

Not sure they ever topped the M4 Gayle Bradley 2 for a practical hard use knife (although the Cruwear exclusive GB2 might be the closest contender).

Price it at circa $120…


lol, $120 for a Spyderco fixie with a premium steel? You dreaming buddy.


Nope, no dreaming pal!

Living a mile from the Gulf of Mexico, Spidey's Salt line has always been a boon. The upgrade to Magnacut is very welcome to me. The performance difference is significant.
I've always been a proponent of "Salt all the things", MC not withstanding.

Perfect knife for 98degree days and weekend life lived in shorts.

This one has been getting all the pocket time since I got it.

Crucarta Manix 2 from GP because I didn't have one yet and the price was just too good to pass up.
M4 Manix2 LW w/ AWT scales and a Lynch from secondary because it is downright minty and I got a great deal on it.
Speaking of mint, the BHQ scales were the only thing keeping me from grabbing the M4 ...
