Any idea when a new batch of the Para 3 Salt Magnacut will be available?

My solution was actually grinding the cage to allow the bearing to engage more fully. Takes about 15 seconds on the belt sander and i do it to all my Manixes, LW or liner

Can you elaborate on this? Curious of what you mean exactly.

Yay

My new builds this week
AWT FDE scales on the Native 5 Salt Magnacut
AWT OD Green on the PM2 Salt Magnacut

I like that pm2 clip. What is it?

Native 5 LW Salt MagnaCut with AWT scales

Hi,
I just bought a PM 2 Salt in DLC coated MagnaCut and I am cutout what the HRC would be on a DLC MagnaCut blade. Because of the application of DLC coating the hardness is sometimes lower than without a coating due to the heat of application.
And what would the normal HRC be on Spyderco MagnaCut ...

Lil’ Native Lightweight Magnacut with black blade

Thanks I’m going to try this recipe. It’s kind of difficult to get Rit Dye in the Netherlands but I managed. Now I need to wait for the Native 5 and dye to arrive.

How is the color holding up? Any signs of fading or that it comes off in the corners?

Thanks for the info! I try to get an olive drab color. So maybe I’m going to mix a bit of brown with green Rit Dye.

Is this the kind of OD Green you are trying to get?

Yes that’s the exact color I try to get!
What colors Rit Dye did you use? And is the back lock black?

Hi,

What kind of color Rit Dye can I use to give my Native 5 Salt in Magnacut a dark green color?
Shall I use hot water? Any additives?
Maybe you have a picture if you’ve done it yourself?
Best,

I was wondering if S90V good for foodprep?
I am carrying my Drunken today and realized that the blade shape would be perfect for cutting food. Ergonomics and bladeshape are great for cutting on a cutting board.

Would S90V be ok? :confused:


The better question is whether or not the drunken is ...

What an awesome article to read. Thanks for the huge amount of work you’ve put into it.

I also depends what kind of steel you use. A steel with a lot of carbides performs most of the time better with a coarse finish. I believe Scienceofsharp.com has a nice article about it.

I was very looking forward to upcoming Sunday. To bad it is canceled. But I, and I think we all care about the safety of the Spyderco crew and ourselves. See you all next year!

Drunken for this weekend on vacation

The inhalation issue is more for miners or people in an industrial setting using grinders. If you're going to take a powered sharpening system to a blade, you should probably use a respirator, but I doubt you'll be making significant amounts of airborne dust with stones or strops. That's a good ...
