Someone once asked me if I know why there are no Lamborghini commercials on television.

My guess was "Because everyone already knows about them and desires one?"

He said "No. Everyone knows about the advertised car makers as well."

I said "Ok. I give up why?"

He said "It's because the people who ...

I always clean and dry my knives after use even thought they are stainless. I can't say the same for everyone else in the household though. They don't take care of their knives nearly as well as I do. I treat my knives as though they are sacred compared to some people.

Magnetic strips are far ...

Oh and I forgot to mention I think the G10 scales look more professional than the more plastic-like and cheaper looking FRN and FRCP scales I've seen. I'd just like to see more color choices for the PM2.

I haven't actually tried FRN nor FRCP yet to know what they feel like. I've only seen what they look like in pics.

I only just recently received my very first Spyderco: The PM2 in satin with black G10 scales. Beautiful knife and way way too much fun to open and close. My fingers are like: "Could ...

I can only say good things about VG-10. :spyder:

Oh and by the way "Experimentalist" :) Welcome to the Spyderco Forum :cool: I didn't see that it was your very first post until I came back again to see what had been posted. You are among friends and I do hope you enjoy your stay.

As "PWork" just ...

Most of my hard user Spyders are VG-10 and frankly I like VG-10 much more than I do S30V which most of the people really like for some reason. I've not had very good luck with S30V for a lot of reasons. However I do like many of Crucible's cutlerly steels like 440V ( S60V), S90V and their version ...

Hi,
I would like to mention Jim Ankerson's edge testing thread over on Blade Forums as a good source of info including HRC tested steels mostly of Spyderco blades. Page one gives a synopsis of the testing results etc.

Hello, newbie to the forums here!

My first Spyderco knife is in the mail, a PM2 in black G10 and satin finish S30V blade. Can't wait till it gets here! $114 on Amazon.com, but worth it!

So I got to wondering what your favorite steel is on a knife?

I have an 8" Kasumi Chef's knife (Gyuto) in VG-10 ...
