Spyderco C178GP Kiwi 4 Pocket Knife 2.94" Wharncliffe VG-10 Blade, Black G10 Handles, Lockback

Your picture is kind of small to really look at details. I try to look at the entirety of the knife, box, paperwork, end of box model description, font on blade, fasteners and compare to other pictures of the same model on websites if you can. I do not own that model to be more specific on the ...

Can't you just use Bar Keeper's Friend to scrub the rods to clean them up?

I have a Sage 1 in S30V. I bought it used on the secondary market. Stick with what you have. I am not sure there is much difference.

When the GB1 first came out they had solid liners. The later ones had skelontized liners. The solid liners obviously had more weight but both have a hefty weight to them. It is funny there were many on the secondary market after they came out as some did not like them. Now that they are discontinued ...

After I saw this thread I had to check several K390 knives. I did see the chip as shown in the pictures previously in about 1/3 of the knives. I also did check for lock rock and noticed it in about 1/3 of the knives. I did not notice the lock rock before in the lock back knives and I have several ...

I have one and they are great knifes.

The Air is a great knife.

I am always amazed at the amount of knives people will own and then complain about spending money or wanting a really cheap sharpening system. It makes no sense to me.

To be an entrepreneur you have to have vision and the willing to risk and is that the industry to get into.

The GB1 is a great knife.

I can't believe this answer did not come up sooner, but I am afraid you will have to get both.

I got into ZDP-189 and liked it but have not seen much of it used lately. Good to know it is still being used by Spyderco. My favorite Stretch 2 is a ZDP-189 knife.

Stretch 2 in ZDP189

I agree the Stretch 2 is a great all around knife.

The Swayback came in a padded case.

The knives I really like I usually have a couple. One gets used and the other is a backup or to keep nice, if I choose.

We HAD a granite cutting board in the house until my wife told me about it.



Hopefully it's still around. It would make a great improvised surface plate... assuming it's not too hacked up from using it as a cutting board.


It is still around. I have a glass plate for truing up stones but ...
