Re: If you could only keep three...

1. M390 Mule
2. ZDP-189 Dragonfly
3. CPM S110V LW Manix 2 or CTS 204P PM 2 (can't choose between these two)

Luckily, this is just a mental exercise and tomorrow, or the next day, i might choose three others from the collection I'd hate to be without. ;)

Re: CPM 10V - What would the next Model be?

Sprint Endura 4 in maroon or burgundy FRCP, so people of modest means can experience this high performance steel on an iconic and solid (but lightweight) platform. The Stretch would be my second choice, for the same reasons.

I only have these two and rarely carry the blue one. My vote is for the green one, which is a regular in my rotation.

I don't understand why Spyderco chose to emphasize PSF27 with this new Mule and the Gayle Bradley Bowie. Better than most D2 steels because of the spray forming process (likely most directly comparable to CPM D2), but Cru-Wear seems to be superior in both toughness and abrasion resistance. If this o...

The only CTS-XHP knife I own is the Mule Team rendition at about 60 HRc. I haven't see enough difference in performance between it and my S30V Native (also have the 3D Native in VG-10 and the Forum Native in S110V) to need another Native in CTS-XHP, although it does seem to sharpen a little bit easi...

I am sending my S30V Military to Chris though to have it thinned out to around .010" to .015". Using your vast experience as a guide, what level of performance increase would you expect to realize with such a Military, if it was subjected to your coarse edge testing format? I know about t...

Why do you need a Military? Because you don't have a Military. Until you own one (and actually use one) you'll never realize exactly why you need it.

I have some Halpern micarta scales on my M390 Mule that have a crosshatch pattern (like you find on the wrist of a rifle stock) in a sand color. They're best fixed blade slabs I've ever used (especially good traction with sweaty hands). Don't see a need for other options, myself (except maybe more c...
