- Replies: 11

H1 will have much better wear resistance. Ti is much softer than steel, and usually when knives are made out of it the edge is carbidized to make it harder. But this also means you can't sharpen it unless you have a way of carbidizing it yourself. Un-carbidized titanium can't hold an edge very well ...

Grit preference for first sharpening?
So I have carried my para 2 for about three weeks, and even though I have honed and stropped it I feel like it is time for its first sharpening. The edge is still in fairly decent condition, and I won't be changing the angle. I can pick from a DMT Coarse, DMT Fine, and Spyderco's Ultrafine. Which gr...

I've made only very slight adjustments to each, and the blade is deploying much better. It doesn't necessarily 'fall' when the lock is released, however, I can flick it closed. I'm wondering what the technique is as far adjusting dual pivot screws. One of them is not flush with the G-10 scales, and...

Tuff would definitely be much stronger with a compression lock. Then shouldn't the most durable folder have a compression lock? I understand you care about blade thickness/ hardness but even then I think that with a very thick VG10 blade and a compression lock the Superleaf should win over the Tuff...

If for the sake of this thread that price is not a factor, do you think anything could truly beat the Superleaf or Superhawk for no nonsene practical toughnes??3rdGenRigger wrote:I have held a Superhawk on Sunday at my local knife store...it felt beefy and I quite liked it, but they want too much for it.

Set the pivot tension you want and put lube on the washers. Now all you have to do flick away! Lol and your knife will be butter smooth after two weeks to break in tops. I am fairly careless with my knives' tips and have broken a few (never a Spydie thankfully :o ) S30V is more prone to chipping or ...

...right, and I think we probably come back to the Tuff, the Techno and the Gayle Bradley. Must be other good candidates, like the Super Leaf? Hmm this might be controversial but I wouldnt put the techno on that list because of the way the lockface is treated. It makes it so there is no stickyness ...

If the blade thickness particularly near the tip is good I would vote the Gayle Bradley. It's out of production now unfortunately :( , but I feel like the **Superleaf** would win this title. Compression lock, thick but not stupidly thick blade, steel liners. Veerrry beefy. Good sized pivot with a bu...

Best lube for this scenario?
I have a persistence that gets very gritty, It's like I can feel the detent ball grinding against the track. When I rinse thoroughly with water, it becomes buttery buttery smooth, but only for 1-2 hours, after the water evaporates and is no longer lubricating the track it is back to being very gritt...
