Spyderco Forums

Hey Rob,

Our serrations are good mix of size and shape. Finely sharpened on the Sharpmaker will get to the point where they don't snag. Getting the teeth "right" is the purpose of this thread that Dave created. We're always trying to get the factories to get them right and we're getting closer ...

Increasingly I’ve taken to carrying a SE Spyderco locking folder plus a SAK for plain edge and “other tool” duties. Cargo pants make this a reasonable option and I carry a 100mm Knipex adjustable pliers in rear pocket, too.


We may be an ocean apart, but we think exactly the same.
Knipex has ...

I always overestimate the fragility of an expensive knife, or underestimate its capabilities to be normally used.
Once I start to use a knife like I don't care about it anymore, it is when the true beauty emerges.
Now, my most used knives are the prettiest to my eyes.

Magnacut Salt 2... Ooohhhh...

I'm in.
It's my only Spyderco fixed blade (excluding another kitchen knife).

Thank you for this thread.

I'm a big fan of the Salt series.

About 6 months ago I switched job and came to realize that my former EDC - a PE H1 Dragonfly - wasn't enough for my new tasks. I went back to my SE H1 Salt 2 and it never leaves my pocket.
I work in construction as a field engineer and ...

Because they ROCK

Really good picture.
It's on LinkedIn as well.

It's my favorite handle material.

Looks very nice. D's suggestion is also good. I'd try to make it look like a santoku.

The only substitute for a Delica is a Salt 2... Or another Delica!

Yep. H1 on me 99% of the time, mostly PE.

Seems about the right intake for a weekend

Just to add that AI can do things we can't, and don't really know how AI can do it. I remember reading news about cancer detection by AI that doctors have no idea how it could detect the cancer in the first place.
It's a new world, for sure.

SS was HG, as wWartstein already pointed out, but currently is SG.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Is the hollow ground (is that what it is) worth a try?

There is no hollow grind on the Delica, as far as I know, except of old (not current) versions of the ss handled one.

Correct, but there is on the H1 Salt2.
A really hard use knife.
For everyday carry the LC FFG is probably a better fit.

Waiting for the Salt versions of the little ones (Native and Jimbo)... Maybe 5 years?

Thanks for the help, ended up ordering the Super Blue Spirt Dragonfly, not coated. Something neat about it over the basic VG-10 versions, not that VG-10 is bad.

It was a hard choice over the H1 SE, but I did not need the yellow scales standing out when I carry it. The whole reason I got a small ...

Waiting for a Salt version!
