Spyderco Forums

Hi:
I am a newbie to Spyderco and just acquired my first -- a Military CF with S90V plain edge. I'm getting used to the size but love the looks of it.

I also have a good selection of high end kitchen knives -- Kikuichi, Misono UX-10, higher end Hattori knives, etc. The steels range from VG-10 and ...

I think you have the wrong item. This is a fold out diamond cylindrical shaped sharpener, not a 4x1. It is not a flat stone.

I've sorta been on a spydie binge lately.
I've bought in the past couple weeks,
orange UKPK
CF S90V Military
D2 Paramilitary
T-Mag
Kris
small Persian
Embassy
Stretch
Volpe
and a Tenacious

Hey:
Great buys. Having just bought the CF S90V, I'm also thinking about getting the Stretch in ZDP-189. How ...

Hi:
What do you think of this?

It's a DMT FSKF DIAFOLD SERRATED SHARPENER. I was thinking that this would come in handy when I buy my Spyderedge zdp-189 or S90v knife. I just bought a plain edge Military S90V so I can get by ...

Bought a Military CF S90V. I should receive it in the next week or so. Can somebody tell me what kind of grind it comes with out of the box?

Thank you very much.

Hi:
What differences have you seen between the full tang zdp-189 vs. laminated zdp-189? I believe that the Delica and Endura are full tang zdp-189 as is the Stretch CE. The Calypso 3 is laminated with 420j.

Sharpening?

Edge holding?

Chipping?

thank you in advance.

Hi:
I'm wondering if it makes sense to make different choices on steel when you make different choices on the edge type. For example:

Zdp-189 vs. S90V vs. VG-10

and

SpyderEdge vs. Combo Edge vs. Plain Edge vs. Serrated

Do you pick a different steel based on the edge type you select? Is ZDP-189 ...

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply and participate.

I live in Los Angeles, CA and that knuckle is indeed, important. I work with many restaurants and wineries and so opening wine is kind of a benefit/hazard of my job.

I think the concept based on the picture of the silver ...

You are right, the Laguiole Sommelier does a great job of opening wine. But, it does not work for me as an EDC.
The whole purpose of my search is to not have to carry 2 separate items-- a wine opener and an EDC. I like to use my EDC as a letter opener, box opener when I go into the warehouse ...

Wouldn't levering off that notch be a little dangerous? I see the lever covering the corkscrew just like in this picture. All the maker would need to do is extend the length of that hook blade and get rid of the blade on the left side. If you fatten the handle, then the blade can obviously get ...

It needs a lever like the one here. Otherwise, you still have to put the bottle down by your feet and pull. It's just a simple metal flap that covers the corkscrew. I know that will make the case wider to accomodate the blade, but that is all. To be a nitpick, it would be great if the corkscrew were ...

Wouldn't it be great to have a Delica ZDP-189 or even VG-10 with a corkscrew and a lever assist? For me, this would be the ultimate EDC. Any thing like this in the works? The first picture shows what the corkscrew and double lever assist would look like. The second picture shows the lever assist on ...
