As an austenitic steel, H-1 does not go through the traditional heat treating process of other steels. Instead, it is a “work hardened” steel. This is something I've wondered for a long time: since H1 is not heat treated, does this mean that we do not have to worry so much about damaging the proper...

I did a course video walk through prior to the cut explaining how things are scored (in general terms) if anyone is interested I can post it. Definitely interested! That seems like it might offer an interesting perspective on what they do, very different from the view we get while they're going at ...

I grant that like most hawkbills it isn't generally ideal for food prep and such, but will certainly work in a pinch. My Tasman has become my pizza sauce spreader of choice, just have to turn it around and use the back of the blade as if it's a dull knife with very pronounced belly. I've also used ...

Do you have any suggestions for how you would like to see G-10 tested? I don't think I have any suggestions; I'm interested to see it simply because I really have no idea how strong it actually is.... But maybe you could come up with something to compare strength and flex of lined vs. unlined G10, ...

Any update on this? Of the options mentioned, I like the Mini-Griptilian best, especially in a bright color. Don't care for the company much, but I have nothing but good things to say about my 556S in yellow. I don't like the Native idea because I see it as too threatening looking for a scouting env...

Any report on your experience with it now that you've had it for a couple weeks?

I was on the phone with a friend while reading this, so I mentioned it to her. Her immediate reaction was that she wants a knife to carry, that it should be small and cute, and, most importantly, that it should have a "curved blade like a claw!" (her favorite knife is my yellow Tasman). Ha...

Pink looks surprisingly good on the Military, nice work.

I'll be interested to see that.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good. I don't have a big problem with the stock clip, but I wouldn't really call it comfortable either. I might have to look into this.

Billy, your Rock Salt looks exactly the way it's supposed to; good work! :)

Did manage to get some grit into the blade, though. Any suggestions on how to was that out? http://spyderco.com/forums/showpost.php?p=598070&postcount=105 I've also heard of using floss. I've found that my Pacific is pretty good at just working grit out on its own though, maybe with a little he...

Guh. Let the dead stay dead plz ;) . No Frankensteining thx. Lol More like zombie thread; eet haz come back to eat our brainzz! Like it did before. As far as the Manix, there will be some adjustments made to the ball travel on the ramp. That adjustment to the description of the alterations to be ma...

I don't understand why they would ever discontinue a SE variant without discontinuing the entire model, no matter what its level of popularity. It's not like they're making an entirely separate model and having to invest in separate parts that might not sell. They keep making the Military as they're...

Has a list been started for these? Last time I checked there was only an interest check thread and they were to be sold normally through the JSB store.

It's always terrible to lose a knife... but that's the best loss story I've ever heard. :)

I spent a lot of time debating the edges before settling on which M2 I wanted to get. I was kind of leaning towards PE because I already had so many SEs, but after hearing that Golden serrations are the best performers I started to get curious and lean back the other way. In the end, I got the SE, a...

im friends with the owner of ck... You know Calvin Klein?! ...in the amish area in pa Wait... oh. his supplier told him the para 2 has def been green lit for ps and se as well in the near future. That's great news! Thanks for sharing that, good contribution. I figured they'd be coming out with at l...

It's really nice to see an action shot of a Khukuri! :)

Currrent thoughts are full flat VG-10. On a name, I have no idea. Maybe Ed will. Sounds good! For my uses (admittedly, I have few fixed blade uses) I don't really see the need for H1 here. I buy Salts because I like having folders I can wash under the tap without worrying about drying and oiling. W...
