I guess what I was asking was how well vg-10 would keep an edge at 30 degrees. Seems like it would be good to me if that is how they come from the factory.

I've tried freehand sharpening with moderate success and would like to try again, but I don't know anyone who can teach me and I don't have a ...

Sharpening angles

I know there have been a lot of posts about sharpening so sorry if this is redundant.

Ever since I lost the factory edge on my delica I haven't been able to get it as sharp. I was wondering if a 30 degree edge with 20 degree back bevel would be good for a vg-10 blade. What about a zdp-189 blade ...

This thread is not going to be good for my wallet. I've been waiting for someone to convince me that I need a hawkbill, or five.

Discontinuing knives

What is spyderco's policy on discontinuing products? do they decide at the end of each year based on sales?

I ask because there are a few knives I am interested in that seem like they could be candidates for being discontinued: the khukuri, the barong and the superhawk.

would it be best just to ...

I've heard Raven Studios http://www.little-raven.com/RS/MA/index.html makes really nice training weapons. They do not have a bokken on their site but they do custom work. They make a pretty interesting variety of weapons.

congratulation on the new knife. I just started eying the superhawk, although I don't have any hawkbills yet so I'll probably try a tasman first to see how I like them. you should use it.

ukpk drop point

I was wondering how this blade shape compares to the leaf shaped blade. Does it perform a lot differently? also I think I read a review that said the blade was a full flat grind but the catalog supplement says it is a hollow grind. thanks.

Small blades

I was just wondering what everyone thought of a couple of smaller knives, the lava and the urban wharncliffe in particular.

It seems like there are a lot of lava fans. It looks like a great design but I usually find myself wanting more blade, if it wasn't being discontinued I probably wouldn't be ...
