Unless severely blunted h1/h2 is very easy. I like serrations as they tend to spruce up quicker to a functional level. It would probably by my steel and edge pick for a beater tool.

VG10 isn’t bad nor is m4. Superblue is very easy. I expect Cruwear is a dream to sharpen but only have a serrated ...

I have some Frog Lube which is ok and smells great. I’d probably lean to mineral oil as a wipe down.

Unless you really need corrosion protection my issue is the smell with the more caustic chemical. I haven’t used Gibbs so IMHO it comes down to the protection needed for the side affects you get.

You have a great friend! :)

I stopped doing preorders after locking money away and seeing other dealers get the thing I wanted. At that point you just hope your place gets enough stock to supply orders before the other vendors run out of knives.

IMHO, get your money back and sign up for a few wish lists.

I’m a huge fan of the weird and the underdog. Granted, Spyderco is no underdog but their push to constantly think outside the box is refreshing. They also seem to meet a lot of artists half-way to allow them to see some very high quality production runs.

Outside that, Sal and Eric, Mike J and ...

I like the look of some waved blades. The Delica/Endura had more of a spear point than a drop.

Good to see you, Blerv, and yes definitely they have that strong spear point.

Great to see you bud!

Nice find Mat!

I love the fish scale FRN of the Calypso JR. No jimping. Lightweight and great edge geometry. Definitely an underrated classic.

I found the one with the white ball. I am in love. I will look for the other variant as well. Thanks


No problem! The Original was heavy but so smooth and the handle was very comfortable.

I’m kicking myself for not getting the FFG redesign. If you grab one please let ...

I use a Jumpmaster 2 for my one and done work knife. I will certainly be buying an SE Temp. My vote in answer to your question would be - both 😉

The only downside of the Jumpmaster is how narrow the handle is, which makes it a bit less comfortable to bare down on. I suspect the Temp will have a ...

Yea JD, I’m thinking that too. Maybe the real move is the Temp, custom Kydex sheath and regrind. Hmm…

I’ve been eyeing the Jumpmaster 2 a long time wanting a nice fixed blade with serrations. Then the Temp sprint was announced with a serrated version. Oh how I loved my old VG10 one.

Just for slicing performance and edge retention what do you think?

4m FFG Cruwear
3m HG H2

I’ve been away a while lol. 2mm FFG with teeth? Thats like a factory dream regrind :)



It's one I've anticipated for even longer than this knife has been official.

Have you checked out the SE ARK? Also 2mm blade stock but hollow grind. It's pretty crazy.


Yea that’s really cool ...

I can’t remember the last time one was stiff to the point of problematic.

A little lubrication and working the pivot while watching a movie does wonders. Going for the wrench works but sometimes adds a bit of lateral play so I tend to work with it a bit first.

Sorry about the annoyance. I’d say ...

I’d still love a Breeden Captain sprint. Or a Rhino Lil Temp of either generation.

Obscure and weird are my main collecting criteria.

I have enough to justify a collection, possibly an addiction. If I was a niche cutlery influencer maybe I’d feel the pressure. I buy for me alone, it goes in waves.

I love the company and went MIA for a few years. Came back and felt welcomed :) . I’m still a knife nerd, I think it’s too late for me ...

I think it’s a race to the bottom without MAP. Big box stores that maintain expensive websites and always take the high road will struggle to keep up. With inflation and increased business costs it just isn’t cheap to run a place like Knife Center.

I’d rather buy fewer knives and ensure the dealer ...
