You sayin you dont believe me man?!

I use Pancro lens cleaner in conjunction with Rosco lens tissues on $25,000 camera lenses to get off the occasional stray fingerprint, so I'd imagine that it wouldn't damage a couple hundred dollar knife. I've used it a few times to clean a knife while at work, with no adverse effects that I could ...

I'm going to look into the chris reeves cloth,

Thanks for all the information, I appreciate it.. However I'm trying to avoid using any type of wipes

Maybe I just have super human strength? Because these clothes came right out of the wrap to the knife = 0 dust.

My D2 blades have been very stain resistant. I have used them in the kitchen and in the woods with minimal cleaning and no oil coating on the blades. If CPM-D2 is the steel you are questionsing, I wouldn't worry about any staining unless you are in a super moist or salty environment. Thanks man! Yo...

It could be hours for non stainless steels. Stainless steels on the other hand should resist for considerably longer. Obviously environmental factors can change that; humidity, temperature, sunlight, etc. I have an older ATS-34 Kershaw that has a stain on the blade that I have never been able to po...

How long does it take for an uncleaned finger print to actually stain the knife steel? Obviously we are speaking estimated time frame. Thanks.

I take that back. The 420J2 slabs on my Caly Jr and Caly 3 CF both got scratches but I want to say the cloth I used was a dish cloth after some kitchen use. Either way, a little Flitz and you can't even see them any more. Flitz can be the miracle cure for lots of minor blemishes. I buy it in bulk! ...

I'm pretty sure the only scratches I have ever gotten from just a cloth were in the brass bolsters of an old buck or case. I have had scratches on both 8cr and BD1 steel from a professional " glasses " microfiber cloth. However the steels im going to be using it on are steels like d2 cpm,...

You could try something designed for eyeglasses.
Just a thought.
Good luck!

I did man, still got scratches too! however an above poster is correct. These scratches were on cheap steel, I haven't used them on these nice ones with good steels just yet.

Yup I already plan to handle with gloves however some of these " safe queens " are from when I first started collecting and I wasn't thinking, I'm sure we all made mistakes when we first started. Thanks for the sentry and reeves cloth recommendations.

I'd agree with michaelm466 that outside of the Cat/Chicago, Spyderco does not make any knives that fit all of your criteria. I think I'm going to continue the search and just not expect to have g10. If anyone has anymore non g10 options within the price range besides the endura or delica please fee...

I have used just any microfiber cloth to remove finger prints from knives before and they leave scratches. Does anyone have a particular brand of microfiber clothes they would trust to use on their most precious knives? I'm trying to avoid those annoying scratches. My goal is to remove any finger pr...

Looking for a Good cheap beater knife with g10 not made in china with cost under 75 bucks?

Here goes my second noob post. I'm curious if there is any place/forum to post a WTB for a para2. I'm looking hard for one and was just curious. Sorry if this is kind of off topic but I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Bladeforums, ebay has them. Many places accept orders and you will wait for a mont...

Peanut butter!

@Dr. Demis: It's 2013. With the help of the Internet you should be able to find what you are looking for on eBay and the various forums. This is not one of them so please an ounce of effort with a multi-billion dollar search engine like Google. @endgame: You are dangerously close to aiding in solic...

Don't be a square man.

I'm sure there is. I'd assume it's because that's how they sell pretty much all their knives, through their dealers. However, it's really a question only Spyderco can answer definitively. Of course, if paying full MSRP is your thing, it's possible that you could see if SFO would be willing to act a...
