Topic: sharpest edge out of the box?
Replies: 44
Views: 5768

My Persistance "value folder" was probably the sharpest blade OOTB that I have. My Delica was sharp too but the Persistance was hair popping. Manix was usably sharp but by no means what I expected. That said, I agree with previous posts that it's not a specific model that comes sharper, it...

In jeans I have no problems. In slacks my pocket space becomes a little limited. Either way, its worth it.

Replies: 7
Views: 3042

Gin-1 and 8Cr13Mov are quite comparable though I'd give the Gin-1 a slight edge. My first Spydie was a Hunter in Gin-1, that I've used for 15 years or so. The blade has held up extremely well considering it is an inexpensive Japanese steel. So far the Chinese 8Cr13Mov steel on my Persistence and Am...

For mid priced Spydies at retail sites, that's about 10-12 knives. TOTALLY acceptable.... I'm all about ordering another before my previous orders arrive LMAO... So what my family will be homeless and hungry... With my spydies I will build a house and hunt our dinner!

As an owner of both a Persistance (value folder) and a Delica, you will be happier with a Delica, in my opinion. I carry the Persistance often only because I like the fact the cutting edge is the entire length of the blade. Makes for more cutting with a "somewhat" compact knife. Though, no...

Nice combo, very sophisticated. What's the weight like compared to FRN? I can always check the oz. on each but what's your opinion?

My most expensive so far until the Caly comes in. I would still love it if it was one of those 2.99 knives at the cash register in wal-mart. Lol

I want to molest your GITD Manix.

Thanks for the comment. I was up in the air about the manix vs. Pm2. Glad I chose the manix.

I found the same thing with my Manix that was received today... I was actually like "awww man" this morning while reading this thread. The first thing I did was check the play while closed and found it had a significant amount. Opened it and fell in love with the lock-up. Even with the pla...

Just received a Black Manix 2 about 2 hours ago that was a lot less than what I expected in sharpness. By no means did this give me any reason to look to another company to give me sharper knives NIB. After 10-15min the knife became close to "scary sharp". IMO it's not how sharp they are w...
