Could stay with the same edge angle and just put a 20 degree per side micro bevel on it with a ceramic like a Sharpmaker.

That will toughen it up for you.

Stay around 600 grit or so, like Sharpmaker brown rods give or take.

That’s what I do. The edges last well, now.

Happy birthday!

Neat!

One of the most famous issues regarding stress raisers was the catastrophic failure of hastily built merchant ships in WW2.

I would assume Spyderco know exactly where their knife blades will fail under excessive loads ...

Unless Spyderco want to make a political statement by withdrawing from China, I suppose the key questions are whether Spyderco can thrive without having Chinese made products to sell (bearing in mind they may be the gateway into the brand for many), how many potential customers are deterred from the ...

I had one of those cardboard tubes to cut down a short while ago, the thick, very rigid sort for packing long fragile items that won’t crush under your heel.

My s90v NC stabbed through one side and cut around, twice. The blade was hot. No noticeable edge degradation, no tip damage.

Happy birthday!!!

I think Spyderco needs to have a broad pricing range to put its knives in as many hands as possible. If that means some are made in the PRC then so be it. Folks who object to that have alternatives and know why they will be paying more for those.

Also, for some years great designs have fallen by ...

I have the bd1n nakiri with the polymer handle and use it most days for lunch salad/veg preparation. Dicing cucumber, julienne-ing carrots, slicing mushrooms & toms, shredding lettuce, that sort of thing. It’s designed for this and excels.

It’s used early mornings but only gets washed at the end of ...

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

Happy birthday!

Would love to see a S90v version of the brouwer and make the show side carbon fiber.


Most def. Mine already has carbon fiber. I love this little thing. It's a bit "thick' for the use I have of it but it's not a bad deal to have it a little thicker without getting a bad geometry either ...

I’ve just put one on pre-order with the UK importer. The Spy27 is also an appealing factor.

It’s quite lightweight. Are there liners / partial liners, does anyone know?

It's a cool design but I'm holding out for the Dyad Jr.


This!

A while back I craved a Balance or an Equilibrium, but experiences with the McBee (too dense, too lose-able for the £££) and Manbug Wharnie SE (too good) informed my current preferences for light weight, utility & price comfort.

Happy birthday!

I had one of these for a specific brush clearance task and it was very effective.
