M398 … just … wow!

Purple is the weakest of the 3 (red-strong, blue-medium, purple-weak) - I only use it with very tiny screws. With knives I have used so far blue and did not have a problem to remove the screw later, but give it a try, maybe the purple will be enough.

Re reading my post, might have come more harsh than intended - sorry about that.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with your answer - if anything my post was a gentle provocation - we are more than even!

I know, it was a bit of tongue in cheek from me. I am aware that Spyderco wants to make a hollow grind there and I suppose that on a blade that thin it is quite a challenge. I hope they will bring it - Spyderco does not have many hollow grinds left outside the Aqua family and I think they add an ...

Get the k390 version and have it ground (or take it to some extra coarse diamond stones or plates) thinner BTE with a touch of convex to it. You will get a pretty good performance with little extra effort ...

I would like to see a knife with blade similar to Arc (maybe 1-2 cm longer, not more), but with a handle that would allow a litte better grip. Something along the philosophy of Creely Mako

The Ayoob Cruwear is tough as nails. The handle is a bit thing and edgy, so I would recommend using work gloves when doing harder cutting.

And then there is the Tuff - just off the charts toughness wise - also the blade is thick and thick behind the edge. A beast. I don't know - maybe some of those ...

Those 20 years are maximum. If the entity that owns the patent decides, that it is not worth paying the (over time considerably growing!) fees for the given patent anymore, it may become available to others much sooner.

I think it is more unethical to put lanyards on knives ...

I would not be too sure even Spyderco knows ar this arage. To release a product means that it reached a stage when it was decided that it will be industrialized. Not necessarily is the timing already set all the way to the delivery.

Our best chance to increase the probability of Spyderco going through the hassle of introducing Spy27 with their Taichung partner is to buy loads of the XHP version. Just saying …

Spy27 is coming to the Sage 5, so that introduction has already happened.

Indeed! I missed that one!

I am inclined to think that that the choice of handle material was to make it different from UKPK as a more gentlemanly option. And that makes a lot of sense to me.

If I get one, I will most likely beg my friend to make me some carbon fiber scales.

Now this is a cool little knife! And dressed in those elegant wooden scales it has ‘gentleman’ written all over it. I hope the spring has some good tension to it. I may need one.

I am really happy to see the Sage getting a resurgence. The handle is not quite fitting my hand, but it is one of the smoothest compression locks that Spyderco makes. Thumbs up from me for this.

I am in for a full SE Catcherman, JD

Para 3 LW is hard to beat. Don't have one, but the action on the one I had a chance to handle was addictive. For some reason I enjoyed playing with it more than with the PM2 (which is a great knife!). I think it was the weight balance of heavy-ish blade and light handle.

If you would consider liner ...

Yes, as far as I can tell with my limited skills the Chap is not really thin behind the egde, true (I actually thinned mine out a bit) - so the edge itself is not an extreme "laser beam" right from the factory

But it still cuts through (especially softer) material easier, cause the whole blade ...

I really like my Chap since I got custom (a bit thicker than the original ones) carbon fiber handles for the FRN model. But I don't understand what the 'laser beam edge' is supposed the mean. The Thickness BTE is very comparable to most other EDC-oriented Spydercos.

I am going to add a sprint run of Worker in CruWear SE and G10. @JD Spydo can you please get this one done? It would be very much appreciated
