Put simply, there is no legal way to privately transport a handgun from PA (or anywhere else west or south of NY) to NH (or anywhere else northeast of NY) except by sea or air. You can ship it via UPS or other carriers that accept handguns, but even unloaded and locked in a box in the trunk of your ...

Just take your time and experiment a bit. Use the Sharpie trick if you have trouble. I reckon I sharpen my Tenacious to 40 degrees inclusive and it sharpens up easily to a very nice edge.

I took your advice--thank you, D!

Angle on the little thing is probably closer to 35 degrees, but its blade ...

Good point, DBSS: I'm going to open up the angle first thing tomorrow.

Kind of you to state, dbcad--and it is clearly "operator difficulty" that's got me sawing away pathetically...; I'm taking your sage advice: tomorrow's another day.

I have no experience sharpening 8Cr13MoV; my Persistence is the first knife I've owned made from the stuff--have any of you encountered problems with edges folding over, pitting along the edge, and generally tiresome behaviour from this steel?

I like the Persistence very much. It is a really ...

Thank you for the reassuring certitude, Dan. Three strong responses from knowledgeable owners seal this deal: order placed, meat cleaver-wielding dame and all!

Thank you for the excellent review, Heespharm--my decision is made!

I really liked this knife upon seeing the first ad for it in Blade--and the thing is obviously very well-built. But the bi-material scales somehow bother me, and that puny clip appears underweight. The substantial shape is attractive, the steel, clearly top-notch; I'm over it, though, happily enough ...

Concise and to the point--which you must prefer. Thanks for the straight response.

I am growing unhealthily obsessed with the Valloton Sub-Hilt Folder; this large--and clearly bulky--knife just appears to reek of quality. And yet the Breeden Rescue C139GP is an exciting choice, as well.... Moronic question (considering how different they are in most every aspect): which would you ...

I answered your gracious response, Jack: bloody thing just disappeared.

Looked at the Assist I, but chose instead to acquire two Salts, the Atlantic and the Dragonfly--I have rather used up my FRN quota for the month...; though it is clear that the Assist is an excellent knife, well-respected by ...

Thank you for the link, Chris!

Does any gentleman here have experience with the C139G Rescue, and if so, what do you think of this interesting knife?

I remember reading that H-1 is used only on knives that are 100% rust-proof. That would include: blade, liners, screws, lock, pivot, clip, lanyard tube, washers, standoffs, etc...

I don't see it being used on a premium knife unless all of the above mentioned components are made rust-proof as well ...

Bless your hearts for pushing the mother-ship in the right direction; which is to state that your efforts are most appreciated, Sequimite.

Superb knife, Deacon--thank you for posting this fine image!

"The newer knives have adjustable pivots as a rolling change": very interesting development!

I just received a SpyderEdge Atlantic Salt H-1, the first of two recent orders from this unique series of knives (Dragonfly should arrive next). The H-1 steel is remarkably sharp out of the box, and though it dulls more quickly than, say, S30V, the stuff is also quite easy to sharpen. I like this ...

Thank you kindly, Dialex!

I am most grateful, gentlemen, for your thoughtful advice! The knife will be sent to Spyderco this week, along with an explicative note, and the two checks which The Deacon recommended.

Thank you for your generous words of welcome. Have you noticed how we of the knife and gun fraternity always ...
