Re: What makes a steel 'aggressive'?

If I cut myself with a blade, then it's an aggressive steel. In my experience, all steels are pretty aggressive...

If clearance prices where a thing in Europe we both would be living in a cardboard box full of spydies under a bridge probably… :squinting-tongue

No you wouldn't.

You would use the carboard box for cutting tests :winking-tongue

Anyone else eagerly awaiting this one?
Quite a few of us, I'd say ;)

I think I may like it even more than my Police LW, but I can't say for sure until I've handled both.

Re: Sharpmaker white stones

I give a few passes on the white rods to touch up my knives after using them, unless they need a full sharpening (which they often don't). I rarely bother with the UF rods anymore though.

Of course, it also depends on the steel: white rods are perfect with VG10 or LC200N, not so much with K390...

Re: Goo on the Edge - How to Manage

I use alcohol on a dedicated microfiber cloth, wiping from spine to edge. It usually does the trick. If not, scrubbing with an old toothbrush (or someone else's ;) ) works wonders.

Re: Are there any models you liked the previous better than the current?

The Native has always been one of the best knife designs ever and I like the current one very much, but the swedge on some of the older versions looked so good :zany


I like the older version of the Jester better than the current one... probably because there isn't a current one!

Re: Best G-Shock platform?

I tried this one. I loved everything about it, so many features ... except I couldn't see the numbers unless the light was perfect. Old eyes not picking up the contrast as well as they used to. All these tacticool watches are lost on me. Give me a standard positive display and I am much happier, an...

Re: Best G-Shock platform?

The GW-7900 should also be close to what you're looking for (solar, atomic, tides & moon phases). It's not as small as the square models but more compact than the "big boys" (Mudman, Pro Trek etc.). The ergonomics are IMO much better than those of the 5600/5610 series (bigger buttons a...

I've been able to get around the legal technicality by never waving the knife around in the air while walking down the middle of the street and screaming at the sky. That's one of the things you should never do.

Very helpful tip! I really have to remember that one... ;)

Re: Orange G-10 question

does it show dirt and grime easily? I once had an orange PM2 from Cutlery Shoppe: yes, it does show dirt a bit more easily than darker tones... but at least you know when to clean it up! Is it easy to clean up? Rubbing the scales with a damp cloth usually does the job. If it's really dirty you can ...

Yes: €336 at "La coutellerie Tourangelle" (in stock... at the moment).

Re: Endela or Straight Spine Stretch?

I don't care much for finger choils but I would pick a Stretch over an Endela any day of the week: the finger bumps are not as annoying on the Endela as they are on the Endura or the Delica... but they're still there!

It is now in BD-1N steel with Grey G-10. Unfortunately the Denim G-10 was changed.

I'm not sure about the Polestar, but there have been batches of the Alcyone with both BD1N steel and the blue/grey denim G-10. They're probably harder to find now, though.
