Re: Spyderco/Farid K2

[quote="faridknives"][quote="ManixFan"][quote="faridknives"] That is pretty cool! It's like a K2 Mehr.....and a mini-Mehr. Doctor Evil would approve! :D What are the different blade sizes between the custom and the production? As well as the overall open & closed l...

Re: Endura Every Day for a Year.

Great review, great story! Congratulations on the new PM2 - you'll love it. And remember, the Endura will always be there, waiting for the chance to be put to work.

Re: Spyderco/Farid K2

Here's a Farid custom K2 next to a slightly...'adjusted' Mili, and a Szabo. Looks like the Spydie has a bit more height to the blade, and slightly squarer shoulders on the frame profile. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a49/Reaper623/2014-09-24213722_zps27abec19.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/...

Re: The future of the Gayle Bradley Air

The only thing that kept me from buying one is the steel since I live 8 blocks from the Pacific. Strange steel choice, IMO, for a knife that's supposed to be in your pocket all the time. Beautiful lines, though. M4 isn't supposed to be in your pocket? :confused: :confused: :confused: Salt air + swe...

Plenty of Spyderco knives in Ti. Since they know what they're doing, they invariably use it for handles.

My titanium bladed knives have bugger-all edge retention. Can't get them as sharp as steel, for some reason. Maybe they just roll or fold when I get out to the extremes of sharpness.

I have the 20CP and M390 sprints in Grimsmo titanium scales. No interest in the 204P, probably because it's comparable to M390 but a generation older. From my limited recall of the comparison between equivalent steels from different manufacturers. Guess which steel I carry regularly? Only 204P out o...

Purple Endura. Green ZDP Delica. Colors are just that, decoration. Most people fixate on the shiny pointy bit anyway.

Make more of the high-demand ones. Get people to commit here (with a poll or something) so you can gauge production numbers? Flippers work off hype and scarcity. Can't control the hype machine, that's for sure. I know the Mule runs aren't necessarily a financially viable long-term plan, but a favor ...

I'd imagine not, high hardness which is usually used to optimize performance in combination with high velocity metal would result in a shattered blade and a leg full of fragments. Or, if you prefer: Sure! I'll bet it had some pretty gnarly scales afterward, that guy is definitely going to have a fan...

I'd say the arrowhead, but I don't know if you sharpened that first ;p

The Dragonfly should perform the best due to the FFG and high spine, but that's an entirely logical answer and I expect I'm wrong.

Guess I'm sitting out the Yojimbo2 release, though if someone wants to trade a Yo'2 exclusive for a M2XL I'm all ears.

CF/S90V sprints and exclusives have had a long history of being very desirable and as a result hard to find, or very, very expensive. I'd expect the same to happen here, right up until KW ask for a second run that puts numbers into the thousands. At least then they'll just be very expensive.
