Sharpening is scratching metal and removal of metal. Most people put a 40 degree micro to make the edge stronger. You got the grind, the bevel, the micro bevel that creates the edge. When using the sharpmaker I usually go 30 first and 40 second everytime I am sharpening or touching up. Some blades I...

Yes I also can relate to the "it factor" I like the Delica but for me its the Endura also. Its my knife the knife. I probably got enough spyderco knives to carry a different one every week of the year. Some great models like the Para2, native5, mili, dgf, manix2, etc. But the Endura4 is my...

Any idea when the Santoku knife is hitting the market?

Well the gray is a hollow grind serrated BD1 with forked spring. The black FFG BD1 droppoint also has the forked but feels tighter on the spring.

A+ on that outlook UKE, great information and comparisons. Beautiful pictures great detail. Love the Roadie my favorite non-pocket clip knife. Got the black waiting on the red one. Great thread my friend.

Well also on the spyderco slip-it fever just got an instant UKPK collection 5 of them. But ordered a byrd tern another slip joint from spyderco and also a Tenacious in SE, this is my 3rd Tenacious I just really like that knife. So I should get the tern and tenacious by friday. I need to stop and sav...

Para2 black/satin and gray UKPK SE

Well I got my UKPKs had the black drop point PE. I recently got the black leaf shape PE, the blue, maroon and gray. Only the blue and the maroon are Gin 1 and have the old springs. The gray and the 2 blacks got the BD1 and the fork springs. All awesome knives never had one in Gin1 and I will check o...

I like Spydercos kitchen knives, the flex is minimal and you want something thin in the kitchen, less resistance. I find myself using a victorinox chinese cleaver for chopping vegetables, its pretty large and thin excellent for anything that needs a fast chop. But the chefs knife is king in the kitc...

Got a Mili and Manix2 I really like the steel better than S30V and S110V, haven't carried M4 long enough to compare. I would not mind a para2 or a UKPK or a native5. I would get them all.

The GB is a tank heavy duty knife and as a back up I would go with a DGF g10. The Endura and the Delica are great knives but you can get them anytime. The GB is coming out with a updated design so get it while you can.

Great knife nice size for the weight its a bead blasted kind of finish on the blade, the s110v is almost the same but the steel its better

Welcome and you wanted out but they pull you back in.

Very very nice piece great buy

Reprofile at 30 on benchstone and then add a 40 microbevel had same trouble with knife

Could the springs just be swapped or there are some modifications to tang also. If its just swapping I could call Spyderco HQ to send me some.

Well I hope the blue, the maroon and the gray UKPK knives I just ordered have the updated spring. Oh and just for kicks all 3 are fully serrated spyderedge. The two black(drop point and leaf blade) are PE. I will have to check for that fork updated springs on them.

Either H1 or VG10 will work great thats my experience, I like my Endura better than my pacific due to liners. But prefer the weight of the salt1 over the Delica. So its all just a matter of taste but I think you cant go wrong with either steel. Just recently got a serrated vg10 dragonfly and its awe...

Those are awesome

I really like the looks of the drop point UKPK also, but I wonder about accidently having a non-locking blade close on my fingers. Wish I could try out a UKPK, but I have not been able to find any in my area. Prices are very nice on this knife, which I think is a perfect size for pocket carry. My t...
