Spyderco Forums

Thanks for the Master Class, Shawn. The knowledge is ALWAYS appreciated.

Follow-up question: Is a thick blade particularly desirable for SD? The Yojimbos are all thick at 3.7mm. Yet I notice the Canis is a normal 3mm, and the Karahawk a thin 2.5mm. Janich makes the Jandelica, and it's only 2.5mm. So it seems that 'thick blades' are not necessarily correlated with SD des...

I came to discover that if there was a knife I really wanted, I bought it already. No deals good enough to tempt me into buying anything I was 'kinda' interested in.

Any pics?

Other than a dislike of their prices and return policy, what has really kept me from the pm2 para3 K390 offerings is the Seki offerings. For my uses with K390, the thinner the better. 13-10dps. Golden K390 blade stock isn't too thick to be good. I've got Maxamet, S110V, and a few other steels in the...

Nice

Considering the price, this has got to be one of the better Spyderco values, right?

It's a pretty good price for sure these days.

Great knife, if you like large folders. Which I do.

overall favorite folder out of all brands to this day.

We missed you.

Surprised by the answers.

PM2 is what I have always considered Spyderco's 'Flagship' model. At least since I've been collecting. Signature blade shape, signature lock, more variations, sprints, exclusives than anything else.

I remember getting a comment of wow, you do have a big knife collection. I didn't have the heart to tell them, that was only the handful of knives I had sitting out on my dresser

I figured they'd find the pelican cases eventually.....

My link to the hrc thread gave him the info he wanted. Probably the end of the discussion.

In my part of the knife community, every knife company should start any introduction to a knife of interest with the blade steel and its hrc. That is a world of pertinent information. This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the surface of what we can see. Everything that Spyde...

Not yet! I'm outta cash

Bingo! Anybody know what angle this bevel is ground at? Got this to go with it... We'll start on the shoulders of the bevel wit first sharpenings... 20240328_170543_copy_4000x2252.jpg I can check the edge bevel on mine later. I imagine 15-17dps like most Spyderco's. Galley V is 10dps, so you'll be ...

It's a big boy. This definitely has utility potential as thin as it is, a few serrations. To be honest the plastic clip isn't for me, but I'm glad I got one ...er 2.

How much flex is there in these blades?
It kind of reminds me of an Emerson Persian
I wonder at it's potential against soft body armor.

The only short coming of linerless G-10 is the pivot area. G-10 at thickness is more than strong enough for the handle. But at the pivot things like the D shape hole can deform a little bit under pressure or wear. I've seen this taking apart my Chief's. Probably because the G-10 is at it's thinnest ...

I'm still not getting email notications, but like Wartstein, I don't really need to.

Only time I care is when I'm watching for knife drops. But I got my Catcherman, I can calm down
