Why do you exclude me from the party just because mine is VG10? :P In same boat with ya Larry, Spyderfly in VG-10 ;-) The "exclusion" may not be intentional ..., some may not realize the Spyderfly was first produced in VG-10 b4 moving to less expensive to produce version in 440c, b4 being...

w3tnz,

Nice looking work there ;-)

Are you installing any type of reinforcement insert for the stop pin in your scales (metal, etc.) ?

That serrated version has a really weird SKU. Usually they read: Model number - handle material - edge configuration - handle color (if different than normal) - steel variation (if different than normal) - model generation (not always consistently applied, as the Para 2 sometimes ends in a "2&...

chuck_roxas45, Have you effected any of the suggestions that Brock O Lee made in the second post, of the first page of your thread yet? And the results ...? I am sure those following this thread would appreciate constructive followup by the OP regarding the assistance you asked the forum to provide ...

This really is why I stopped posting on forums like these. People who want to impose their "superior knowledge and experience" when it is not required nor wanted. Often these "enlightenings" can turn to pissing contests. @Spey: I am the OP not Spydernut. When he first suggested ...

Hmm. You seem to have misunderstood my entire point, Chuck. I was talking about using pencils only, as in the good old #2 pencils. A mechanical pencil works well too. No lubes . I am aware there are graphite lubes on the market, but that is not what I was referring to. No worries, though. I'll be o...

Is it a true scandi grind? The double beveled "modified scandi" grind just never really did it for me. It looks cool though--a bushcraft folder. 5-months and 5-pages later and nobody has answered this question ...? Photos and videos I have seen so far seem to indicate there is more than o...

Kinda hard to make a valid argument against a knife design that has been in continuous production for 20-yrs :-) Cody_G93 “ Military for edc - Anyone regularly edc a Military? ” Yes, I carry a Millie every day, along with a PM2. If you comfortably carry a PM2, then I would think you would have no ma...

I think this area should just be sharpened (as soon as you have the secondary bevel chosen for a first good sharpening). Yes, takes a little thought, time, patience (how to not get a half-smiley, recurve, etc.), but I believe the best solution if possible. Sometimes done in one sharpening, sometimes...

I wonder how much of that can be blamed on the blade grind and not so much the finish? In my mind I imagine a large convex blade not having much of an issue with this. But yeah, it goes to show that everything is a compromise. Which, in turn, makes me wonder if the "ultimate" grind for a ...

Jim, Thank you for your test & documentation work here, as well the awesome photos posted! Regarding your initial sharpening reference notations: “The knife was re-profiled to 15 DPS and finished at 400 Grit SIC. 1st up is the Rope 2nd was the Cardboard Stage. The knife was re-sharpened before t...
