I would just glue it back together if there isn’t missing wood. Should be simple enough.

This.

Wood cutting boards for me.
Like others mentioned I think of the edge damage and cringe at the thought of titanium.

If germs are a concern I would consider using diluted bleach or ...

Wouldn't brass make a better and healthier cutting board than Ti? Soft brass would be easier on knife edges.


Brass would be easier on edges, still not great. It would impart weird flavor as it tarnished. A brass rod is often used to test the roll/chip resistance of a knife edge. End-grain wood ...

A friend had some “titanium” cutting boards he bought. I warned him about how I thought they would damage his knives and gave him one of the wooden cutting boards I make in return for one of his metal ones. I need to measure it and calculate the density to see if it really is titanium. It looks like ...

Are the Manix equivalents made of a lesser material? I have seen a couple of YouTube videos showing how easily they crack and break.


The FRCP used on the Manix 2 LW is a little more brittle. Is it inferior in a way that matters? Probably not. Like lots of things in life I’m sure it has its ...

doesn't make for the most buttery smooth action, but it does make the knife much simpler to take apart and re-assemble. never been an issue for me.

those first gen pacific salt clips were nice. they never came loose, ever,for me. no tiny screws to lose or need to carry special bits for. three ...

I’m curious have you tried Frog Lube Paste on the K390/M4? I don’t use it on my folders but I do use the paste on my fixed blades. I use the oil on all folders and the paste on all tool steel fixed blades. I’m not tropical islands or Florida humidity location wise so I haven’t tried the ...

Looking at Larrin's data for high-speed steels, I noticed at least a few are rated "4" for corrosion resistance, including K390, M4 and 15V - I'm guessing in real world use there are probably differences between these three when it comes to resisting rust – has anyone had experience with 2 ...

Probably my green Delica FFG. It has lots of life remaining after over a decade of use. Like a lot of you, I have so many knives that the wear gets spread around.

K390 is not overrated, in my experience. Last week I cut three legacy phone cables with my 15-degree reprofiled SE Endura in K390 while working in a hot attic. These cuts were in free air at an angle. No edge damage.

For the purposes of adding to the conversation. I've decided to go ahead with the experiment that I wanted to try. It started with a discussion for a Police model with a 5" blade. I believe there is even a thread started on the concept. It's will still be a ways off, like most new designs, but I ...

Why not CPM-154?

It’s a good question, given that the performance characteristics of this alloy all improve or remain unchanged when made with powder metallurgy.

Spyderco enforces Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policies to maintain brand value and protect smaller retailers. Amazon’s pricing model often undercuts MAP, which frustrates dealers who follow Spyderco’s guidelines. If Spyderco leaned heavily into Amazon, they’d risk alienating their loyal ...

Are there serrated Mule Team knives? If so, why was I not aware of this before now?

Not yet but there's one in the last Reveal.

Thanks. I don’t follow those.

I love the low weight and slicey-thin FFG blade on the Stretch 2 XL. I have the K390 version and am perplexed because mine went missing a few weeks ago and I am missing it a lot. Losing knives has not been a problem for me, so this is doubly bothersome.

Oops, did the quote when I meant to edit ...

Edited to add:
I would buy one with DLC ...

DLC would be a wonderful addition to K390 blades.

Is titanium just a visual preference, or is there some performance advantage? It never even occured to me to consider why titanium clips are made until now.

My Endura obviously has the easily worn coating typical of Seki knives. I am kind of wondering if I might like the coating stripped, but I ...
