I’m starting to understand how people end up amassing giant PM2 collections.

I agree that the handle details on the Military are important to its overall ergonomic excellence. I like the PM2 and in some ways it fits my hands better. I have small hands and always thought the Mili would be too big... until I tried one. The choil and groove make it work, even in winter with he...

Why are so many people recommending diamond plates for Henckels knives? These are probably 1.4116 steel at 57 HRC. Unless you need diamond stones for some of your Spyderco or or other knives, I'd get a cheap, simple stone. You can get a King combination stone (250 and 1K grit) that will sharpen the...

I put 15 years on a C and 15 on a XC, both still cut when they got misplaced. Given back then I was sharpening Gerber 400's, I know they last a long time. Yeah, I’ve had a coarse/fine dual-sided DMT 10” stone since 2002, and haven’t been gentle like I should, and it’s still cutting. If you’re not d...

S45VN. Like the Milly 2 itself, it’s the next step in the family.

I have a Compression lock prototype.

Showoff!

This is awesome news. But I have to play the “pics or it never happened” card, in hopes of getting Sal to show off even more.

Looks promising.

God help us all if Spyderco is moving to four-unit sprint runs.

Man, that thing is nice.

My question is simple and my complaint valid , why are we having such an overly hard time getting desirable knives? This trend in 2019 is not something I am willing to support any longer. My last 5 purchases of knives have gone to Buck and Cold Steel. If things continue as they have I do not see th...

That Shaman's a good-looking knife.

Does that complexity decrease the simplicity? Not at all.

Mind. Blown.

You're not going to get better edge retention from Elmax. It may have other attributes you want, but it's not in 110V's league in terms of wear resistance.

Distal taper is when the blade stock gets thinner as it gets farther (more distant) from the grip. Proximal taper would be when the stock thins as it gets closer to the grip. Because a lot of people don't know what "distal" actually means, you'll sometimes hear ANY taper in stock thickness along the...

Sure sounds complicated, compared to figuring out whether a PE is sharpened properly.

The action is definitely a weakness. I just haven't found any flippers that can compete with ZT. I honestly think that maybe Spyderco should focus on their core design principles (ergonomics) and leave the pocket jewelry to ZT. This must be one of those cases where it's good that I haven't experien...

It's like new boots. You just have to break it in. EDIT: I think it's a potentially big mistake to work on either of the mating surfaces with abrasives. Part of the break-in is the abrasion of those surfaces, but part of it is fatiguing the titanium of the lockbar. Don't get those processes out of s...

Is the Province shipping with an edge that acute, or did you reprofile when you first got it?

That's the factory edge....

Nice. I'm happy to see that 4V's edge stability is going to good use.
