Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
Now consider at the atomic level, nothing really touches anything. Atomic/molecular bonds, vibrational frequencies make objects solid. It keeps you from falling through your chair when you sit on it, or the ground when you walk on it. Go small enough, everything is mostly just space. Then think of w...

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Shawn, How do you balance the need for rapid cooling but avoid warping, especially on such a big blade? I would have guessed it would cool unevenly and worry on you. Not sure if this is what you're asking, but he prevents warping by clamping the blade in between two big aluminum blocks. Helps it co...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
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. 9:47.... almost made it. Then saw Chicagoknifeworks had the Wharncliffe Lil Native for $120 out the door. :winking-tongue So much for...

Re: Lil' Temp 3 & Short Thick Blades
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...

Re: My First Bento Box Shop Experience
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...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
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.

Re: Which steel for my next knife? (Lil' Native)
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.....

Re: Spyderco and hrc
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...

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 ...
