I believe the Endura Damascus is made with a center core of VG10 with two layers of additional laminated Damascus on either side. This is done in a cold rolling mill process called cladding. The last process after blade grinding, is to acid etch which will emphasize the different layers of steel all...

The extensive documentation required would make commercial use rather expensive.

That photo is not rosewood,, it is a mystery softwood dyed and impregnated into laminated form. Nothing wrong as a knife handle, just not as advertised. I would also guess it is not stabilized as in exotic woods for handles, only glued up into plywood. Real rosewood is very oily and does not glue up...

Really like REX45 but with Pack of Wood laminared scales,,,, no thank you. Regards, FK The scales are solid rosewood, they're not laminated. :spyder: We will see if it is solid rosewood which is very restricted to import and trade, requiring CITES documentation and other types of permits or the sam...

I tried the CE years ago, it does not work for me. The SE portion is too short and it takes away from the PE portion close to the pivot. I carry two Spyderco knives, both a FFG blade, one CE and one PE are my preferred arrangement.

For many years mine was a Delica in ZDP-189,, I have been considering another design with FFG SE in the future.
The Delica is very comfortable in upper front shirt pocket.

I had the identical problem with one PM2 in my collection.
Agree with inserting the screws first without clip,, they will have a longer engagement and form up the interface between steel liners and G10 scales.

I gave used DMT for over 30 years,,, excellent products. The extra coarse is very agressive when new,, it takes considerable use to calm down and level out for precision apex formation. I suggest coarse and use very minimal pressure.and it will break in fairly fast. Alternately get the ex coarse and...

I personally like the lanyard tube construction on my PM2, Para and Military CQI. They are an integral part of the design,,,, the tube is flared into the scales and holds them firmly onto the lanyard tube. Replacing the factory tube with aftermarket is fine but does weaken the overall original desig...

Carbon Steel Liners ????
Really happy I held off purchase of P4 in favor of the new PM2.

I also really like Super Blue steel, have in my collection Delica, Endura and Stretch. Not certain on the Para 3,, blade stock is rather thick for great slicing. I would rather have another run of the original three with laminated Super Blue. Most likely never happen since they were "sprint" runs an...

The base metal in steel is Fe (iron) which reacts to form three types of "rust" Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3. It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare; and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4), which...

I will pass, much prefer my Delica with M390,,,, thinner blade stock and better slicer.

From my experience, once oiled, rainbow patina will turn gray/brown. That means chemical reaction is ongoing under the oil/coating. We saw that in the metals industry,,, a brand new very expensive part was shipped to customer in Asia,,,, under the thick protective coating a hand print had etched in...

My screws on the new K390 are also flush.

If you are going to play/experiment with this,, use some masking tape on the blade edge.
