Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Just got this LYLP3 Salt Ladybug in the mail today. I noticed this plain edge model isn't listed anywhere on spyderco's website. Nice little knife.

Spyderco's sharpening process for ZDP 189?

Hey everybody,

I was just curious if anybody knew how our Spyderco ZDP 189 blades are sharpened from the factory? Specifically the method and grit(s) used?

Re: What's up with the Manbug?

A Salt H1 Manbug with a plain edge would be on my to buy list for sure. Especially in a color other than yellow, orange and black.

How about that bright green the USN ladybug was in or that tan color the County Comm ladybug was in?
