Spyderco Forums

Research tuf-glide and I think you'll be happy. I just read reviews from gun owners who say after its dry, dirt and dust seem to just fall right off, it doesn't collect at all even inside the firearm :) And everyone knows how dirty guns get on the inside

Hows the edge retention vs other steels guys. Who has some input? :D

Yup, Get the blue PM2 from bentobox :) Just got mine a little bit ago and I love it. The color of the steel is beautiful and its sharp as **** :D

Here's some advice...BUY IT! :D I have both and the Para 2 is just breath taking in the hand. It's AMAZING! You wont be able to put it down. mine was super stiff and tight when I got my PM2, I loosened up the pivot Just a reallllly small turn and now after doing that and breaking it in, It's one of ...

That's weird, I've never seen that before. Sorry bro, I'd send it back to get as new one!

Isn't she beautiful? :D I love my M4 Manix 2!! Gets smoother everyday! I cannot wait to lube up her pivot and flick her it until she opens:P lol

thats one supppper beautiful knife!!! I've been eyeing up that one for awhile now! :) That would be a hard use woods knife for sure when I get it! Hows the edge retention? The scandi grind is amaaazing and it seems realllly easy to touch up and sharpen like convex. All you need is a nice portable st...

hows bd1? i keep hearing the retention is bad?/:

Definitely urban!! They HAVE to make it!!!

Spyderco aims for 30 degrees, which you can continue to sharpen at. Using the 40 degree setting adds a micro-bevel that is a bit tougher than the 30 degree and, since you are sharpening just that very small bottom edge, makes sharpening faster and easier. Lots of people go with the 40 degree micro-...

oh yeah i had another question I forgot to ask you guys. If spyderco sharpens around 30 degrees, shouldn't I use the 30 instead of the 40 on my manix? I just used the 40 but it just sharpens the very bottom of the edge. It's ridiculously sharp but I just want to polish up the entire edge on the fine...

I'm loving the pics guys! Is the brown light? All of the pics I've seen were dark brown. I hate how the true colors are always off in pics! lol I like the light brown :)

mine was suppper tight. I had to loosen the pivot and now its alright, still a little tight but whatever :)

Exactly lol we need to invest in those diamond rods

Who uses the slick side and who uses the "suade" side. I was always taught to use the rough suade side. But i see all these people using the smooth side? hmmm maybe ill make one of each to try and to see the differences :)

If you can tell the edge angle is uneven beforehand you can work one side more than the other to even it out on the brown stones first. That's "reprofiling". I use a different system for reprofiling, and only use the SM to put on the final edge, but everyone will find their own way :) No ...

I love my sage 2 :) The Sage looks great with the CF. I've always wanted one
