Bad luck man. :( Especially with a black coated blade.

I have never done it before but I imagine it would be an easier grinding job to grind the spine down to the point? As it would keep the angle of the full flat grind the same.

Best of luck with it anyway! Hope you get a decent point back! :D ...

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered two as well. This knife will be good competition for my Blue Para 2 for my EDC blade. Should be interesting to see how this steel compares to M390.

If your price range is a $100 tops, it looks like all that fits the bill is the endura 4.

Oh wow, I didn't know the Native Ti would be a production knife. Thanks! I wanted the para 2 more anyway.

Native 5 Fluted Titanium

Anyone know when this knife will be out? I know it says Q2, but any month estimate? I'm just not sure if I want to buy this native or the green Para 2 that's coming out soon. Do knives like this native usually go for a lot more on the secondary market or do you think I will be able to just get one ...

I believe it lightens up the knife and adds strength to the blade.

I keep reading that people aren't allowed to take pictures or video of the upcoming knives at the Spyderco booth. Does this mean that the nutnfancy video I have been waiting around for isn't ever going to come?

Thanks for all of the feedback guys! I've decided that I will get a military, it just won't be necessarily high on my list. I will probably get it after I get some of the only Spydercos that I like more and have money left over. I may even get it on the secondary market if I find a good deal.

Blade Magazine vs. Knives Illustrated

Title says it all. Who subscribes to either or both of these magazines? Are they worth it? What kind of content can I expect from them (duh knives), but more specific like customs or productions etc? Which do you prefer? All feedback is much appreciated!

Why the Spyderco Military

Alright, I'm sure I won't gain any popularity with this thread, but I need some help with this. I am not such a huge fan of the Spyderco Military like so many of you seem to be. I have never really liked it that much, but I'm starting to like it a bit more. However, I still just don't really see ...

Possible Edge Pro Apex Set-up

Hello, I'm fairly new to this forum, but I love Spyderco knives! I have a modest collection that consists of an Endura 4 ZDP-189, a Manix 2 Translucent Blue, a Caly 3, and a Sage 2.

So anyway, I want to get an Edge Pro so that I will be able to sharpen my knives fast and get some awesome edges on ...

The Para 2 and Yojimbo 2 are the next two knives on my list so I would say to go for one of those.
