+1 for the Para 2. I just cant say enough good things about it!

Heres another vote for the Mnandi. Best gents folder anywhere IMHO.

I landed one I have wanted for a while. A Large Plain Regular BG42 Sebenza. Sweetness!

Para 2 for me! :cool:

That is lower than I would have guessed. Are you sure about that? That seems pretty soft for s30v.

Does anyone know what Spyderco s30v rockwells at?

Doesn't sound right. Did you buy it new from a reputable dealer?

Either way, it needs to be adjusted. Send it in.

Thanks for replying Sal. I actually got it from you guys directly. No sweat though. I will send it in for adjustment.

yes

Ok, you've had it for two months. Next question would be how old it actually is, since knives have a long shelf life. In my experience, Militarys made in the past year or so have considerably stronger detents than older ones, perhaps in response to the changing legal climate. In contrast, those mad...

Fairly new. About 2 months.

chuck_roxas45 wrote:Not with mine either. Maybe you have your pivot so loose that the detent is not working as it should. I'd tighten that up.

That helped a little, but it still seems a little easy to open.

So then you are unable to flick your open like I can?

I was noticing that on my g10 military that I can flick it open without even putting my thumb on the blade at all. Is that normal? It seems to me the detent should be a little stronger. Can any of you do this? Also consider that I am not trying extra hard to make this happen. I am simply flicking my...

I agree that the level of customer service she provides if far and above any customer service I have received just about anywhere. Knife companies as well as non knife companies included. Three cheers for Charlynn!

If you have ever looked at the serrations that you can get on a Sebenza, they are done on both side instead of just one.

Nice pics. I just got one just like it not long ago as well. Lovin it!

I was looking at Shun Kitchen knives and noticed that they have knives made with both VG-10 as well as SG2. My question is this. Is SG2 just another name for ZDP-189? If not what is SG2 and how does it compare to something like s30v or ZDP-189? I noticed that nobody seems to be using that steel to m...

Does anybody have a review on the ctx-xhp carpenter steel? I was wondering how it compared to s30v? Im also trying to get a feel for how their steels compare to that of crucibles. Are they better, worse or about the same. Please help to educate me on this. Thanks

It definitely would be nice to get an official word on this. I too am waiting on a Para 2 and would love to have just a ballpark idea as to when there would be more coming as well as what the exact cause of the holdup is. No problem either way though.

I am looking for a descent machete for camping/around the house yard work. I dont need "top of the line" but I also don't want junk. Any recommendations? As far as price I would like to get the best bang for the buck on this. Just a solid knife at a descent price. Thanks in advance for you...
