Re: Is H1 work hardening a myth?

The material is also compressed from an original 7mm down to the desired thickness. This is not removing metal, but is does add to the work hardening.

Bending a paper clip back and forth work hardens the clip until it is hard enough to break.

Wow! That is quite a difference! How does that ...

Re: To Honor?

I'm really interested to see where this goes. Will the honor be passed to TazKristi, or remain with TheDeacon? Either way, I think we will end up with something truly special, and I look forward to buying the result of such an outstanding honor.

Re: 2nds sale contest

Thanks for the congrats, guys. Learning first hand what sleep deprivation is for real.

Updated the list, 516 for me today, in honor of her birthday.

Re: 2nds sale contest

Sorry I haven't kept up. I had a Black Friday special that I couldn't pass up. 5:54am, 8lbs, 1oz. 20.5" long. Her name is Lila.

Anyway, I reupdated the list for the people who didn't make it on. My guess for today is 228.

How amazingly awesome! I saw the lefty military had come back, and my best friend is getting one. (He doesn't know it yet ;)...) But then I saw the lefty PM2! HOW DID I MISS THAT!!! Spyderco continues to amaze me. Yet another reason that spyderco remains my favorite company. Knife or otherwise.

Re: Ti seashell fluted millie

The striations aren't that great looking, but I appreciate the work you put into it. If you look past the minor manufacturing flaw, the pattern you've managed to highlight around the pivot is indeed quite beautiful.

Specifically, the second photo you posted shows it off well.

Re: Ti seashell fluted millie

I like your work, it really does look much better and defined.

I do agree with paladin, too. As a machinist, it appears that when they roughed out the scales, they failed to leave enough stock on to get rid of the roughing pattern when they finished the knife with the fluted pattern.

Re: Keep ending up with Spyderco....

I'm the same way. I'm a knife guy. Always the guy that has a knife when someone needs one. My collection goes every which way from case to buck to benchmade to Swiss army to spyderco, with a few customs thrown in. But it seems whenever there is a choice between a spyderco and something else, and ...

Re: 2nds sale contest

A few people and numbers didn't make the list. I went through from the beginning and made it in order of appearance. If you have an asterisk by your number, you are the second person to choose that particular number. Thanks again to BTG. This is awesome.

Re: Spyderco, the Glock of the knife world?

I can totally agree. There's an FRN model that could match just about every Glock out there. I think the comparison starts to falter after that though (a nirvana wouldn't be in the same class, and Glock doesn't really have a very diverse design), and I think that's my favorite part about Spyderco ...
