no, there was no exposure to heat. not really complaining, it doesn't rattle and it still retains the knife.

Got my Street Beat a couple weeks ago. When I am not using it, I keep it in the sheath. I noticed that the sheath has gotten looser, but not enough to rattle. I actually prefer the tighter feel from when I first got it.

Is it not good to keep it in the sheath when not in use?

slice cutting is my primary use. actually, from working in an office to living in the suburbs, my edc's hardly gets used...envelops, boxes, or whatever else I find to cut.

but they are interesting to collect and neat to carry around.

Oh yeah, they did have the CF Harpy.
I hear ya on pricing, thats why for Spydies, I like this certain "shoppe" on the net :-)
But for Chris Reeve's, the pricing is controlled, thus no savings on the net other than tax. There is something to be said about touching them, too.

Hey, what is steven's ...

i use tuff cloth to wipe zdp-189 and d2 blades, but i want to be able to sometimes cut apples or oranges. is it food safe, and if not, is there another way to provide rust protection?

it was nice to touch and compare the different brands, finally got to handle a Military, wow that is a big knife.

The Spyderco's had good quality, but I did notice some annoying flaws in the other major brands such as big blade play in several examples, and blades scraping the sides of the handle ...

looking at a very small sample of different blade metals (basically the knives i own), I noticed they all came with different level of sharpness from the factory.

In order of sharpness - cutting paper
1. Stretch CF ZDP - the sharpest
2. Street Beat VG-10 - 2nd place - not as sharp as ZDP
3. Salt ...

I just called them to ask.

I asked them about the Black ATR, and their response was, "you mean the really old knives?"...lol

They said the ATR is "almost fully serrated. The drop-point looking D'Allara is half serrated, and the rescue D'Allara is fully serrated.

Funny thing is, I told them they ...

I was visiting Amor-Geddon in Cupertino to look at some Chris Reeve knives, and I saw some discontinued models.

I'm not interested in them, but just in case you guys are...

They had one All Black ATR, and a couple of D'Allara.

guys, just ordered the street beat from the shoppe, and I am told that it now comes with the G-clip, which is my preference since i rarely wear a belt.
