Re: Help a N00b. Recommend a backpacking knife

I replaced my Delica with an LC200N Salt 2 for my backpacking and trail running needs.
I echo the recommendation of others!

Re: I mean no dis Respect, but

I would also be interested to learn the reason for the offset blade-handle. I have often wondered why the same feature appears on the USN Mk2/USMC KA-BAR and most of the Mk1's that preceded it. On the Respect, the offset brings the line of the ricasso in line with the line of the handle, which makes...

Re: 2021 Forum knife?

Realistic? Spy27 Translucent Gold g10 UKPK.
Funkier? Spy27 Translucent Gold g10 T-Mag, i.e., Spy(derco)27 steel, Gold(en, CO) g10, (USA) Rare Earth lock?
I've always wanted a T-mag :).

Re: Back lock Lock rock

Some knives we buy as tools, some as treasures. For those whose Delica is the crown jewel of the collection, lock rock will get under their skin. We want our treasured stuff to seem perfect, right?

Re: Mantra Detent Ball

My first Mantra's detent wore down, rotated it like you did, and that wore down too (quickly).
Replaced it with a ceramic ball. No issues since.
Same story with my Bradley. No issues with my Techno, though. Perhaps some combination of different steel and blade finish?

Re: Chaparral Handle Materials

Diamondwood, linerless G10/CF, and micarta all sound good, but what I'd really like to see is Fluted CF or Fluted Ti. Here's hoping the fluting procedure is not a Golden exclusive at this time. A fluted and anodized Ti Chappy like that Military model would be sweet.

Re: Can Spyderco improve the Back Lock or is it at its peak?

Native 5 lock is pretty much perfection. Chaparrals have internal stop pins. Presumably there is some advantage to that.

Ok, ok, you convinced me. :D I just ordered the KC Native 5 in Green G10. To be clear, are you saying that the S110 Blurple version does have liners so this KC exclusive is unique in that it is linerless? Yeah, smooth texture and linerless. Not only that, being a dealer exclusive, it may not be aro...
