Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

it still blows my mind that so few seem to care that they have to worry about getting the best of a store's stock of a $285 knife. Not everyone has the same standard. I ground this blade to a 1200 grit belt finish and it meets my standard. I sold it for less than I paid for the Spyderco. 1200 grit ...

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

I received mine today in the mail and will be sending it back for replacement. The blade was not ground properly (missed a progression of one or two belts) and the lock bar doesn't sit flush when the blade is in the opened position. What's the lockbar do in the closed position? Can you feel the ver...

K2 Folder question

I tried the search function and couldn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone know what the harness is on the K2 blade steel? I've never used CPM 10V before and may be interested in trying this steel. Thanks in advance.

I have it at about 36 inclusive right now and it's pretty sharp. It will be interesting to see how much sharper it gets with the angle change.

What angle on the Southard?

I'm waiting for my upgraded arms for the Wicked Edge and was wondering what angle I could take it down to where it would still perform well for an EDC role. I'm thinking 15-16 degrees per side.

Lots of handle and not too much blade. I was stoked when I first saw this one but I think I'll pass on it. I'm like Evil D and losing my enthusiasm for it over time. I've sold off all my Spydercos with a forward finger choil since going over to a Wicked Edge sharpener and probably won't buy any more...

Techno. Although the Caly 3.5 is supposed to be a good knife, it doesn't do much for me. It should be a better slicer though. The XHP on the Techno would be a better steel than the VG-10.

I haven't been bitten by mine yet (thankfully). I put a Wicked Edge on it today and it is scary sharp.

CF scales

I'm looking for some CF scales for my Southard and was wondering where to go looking. Barry H was recommended on another forum but he's not doing them right now. Thanks in advance.
