Re: Para 3 strange vertical streaks in blade
Those lines look like die/tooling lines from processing powdered metal. I've never seen a grinding belt or bonded wheel leave dead straight lines like that in the finish. Interesting.

Re: Hollow Grinds
Back to knives, I would love a bellied hollow Spyderco, like someone else said I like how Sebenza has done it. Too bad it's not higher ground and the handle is a broomstick ergonomically :D Pls don't hate on me guys! P.S. I was just imagining a blade like on the Kapara in that geometry. Wew! Laser ...

Re: Question for other owners of Native5 S90V CF (C41CFFP5)
I’ve found mine to be an outstanding little knife (usually carry a Shaman or Endura at work). The only issue I found was the action getting extremely stiff when I flipped the clip for right hand, tip down carry. As long as you prefer tip up it’s an absolute treat, and even non knife people think it...

Re: Repairing bent wire clips
Great idea! Thanks for sharing...
I haven't had to do any major bending/repair yet but it might also come in handy for some fine tuning.

Re: How was your 2019?
It was a slow 2019, only two knives. The first was the KC Cru-Wear Native to try out the steel and possibly for a blade swap with my fluted CF version. The other was the discontinued Lil Sub Hilt which doesn’t have much if anything Lil about it. If you like the robust build of the GB1 you might also...

I just cannot warm up to FRN or LW models, regardless of color or if they glow in the dark.

Re: Note to self - only let the GF carry stainless knives...
Brake cleaner works pretty well for me. Brake cleaner is way harsh! A stone and denatured alcohol should handle the adhesive. A stone is less harsh than brake cleaner??? I must be missing something??? :confused: The next time I need to sharpen or reprofile a knife i'll try some brake cleaner.

It will be interesting to see what he comes up with. Hopefully it will be a little more lefty friendly than the Air/Advocate. Love my GB2!

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I'm also surprised to see the Sage1 on the list. To me it's also one of those quintessential Spydercos.
