Re: 2023 Forum Calendar Contest!
This year I would like to submit this picture of the G-10 Dragonfly in VG-10. Despite the small size, this knife is very capable! On a rainy day hike this summer, we saw some wildflowers it looked like someone picked. Decided it would make a good picture, and had the dragonfly in the pack. https://i...

Re: Caly 3.5 Light Weight: Any News?
The ZDP CF Caly 3.5 is a great knife! I would be very interested in any variants. The idea of having an FRN variant is interesting even though I favor other handle materials a lot of times. FRN may be fitting, especially if it allows for a lighter weight construction. The CF version is svelte alread...

Re: 2022 P.I.T.S Sprint!
I got one of these, and I can say it is a very nice knife. It has very good fit and finish, and it has a special uniqueness to it which gives it a nice place in the collection. It has an initial feeling of robustness which is satisfying. The PITS is very ergonomic, and easy to operate. Quite light a...

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
This sounds like a very fun project. I am limited on time I am able to commit or else I think this would be an absolute pleasure to participate in. I hope this goes forward, it has potential to be a very positive for the community I think. I would enjoy reading about not only what is discovered, but...

Re: Blade HQ Metal Handle PM2s
I think a Ti PM2 would be really cool. Hopefully it would be regular production and not an exclusive. Undoubtedly it would be very popular. I wonder if it would be more likely we see a Ti PM2 look more like the other blade hq metal ones, which have a steel leaf for a locking tab? An integral Ti comp...

Re: Handle foreward Native 5
This thread is really making me think more about design aspects in knives, very fun! :bug-red-white . I like the direction the sketches are headed. looks to be not only a good looking theoretical knife but also very useful, with more blade available. Thank you to those who have given ideas. I don't ...

Re: Who has a Spyopera?
I have one of the right hand only spyoperas. The only thing I do not like about it is the way the ergonomics interact with my hand. When I place my thumb on the ramp, my pinky finger tries to wrap around the back corner of the knife. This doesn't bother me for most short tasks but after cutting for ...

Re: Next Reveal Anticipation
High hollow grind on the shaman might lighten up the blade, leaving room to lighten the handle more without sacrificing balance? That knife would be quite the performer, while being easy to carry as well. Not sure if I would be into a choil-less shaman. I did not always like the shaman, but the ergo...

Re: Bladeops Upcoming Elmax Exclusive
This one was really tempting for me, since I love my old BBS Elmax PM2. The performance is good but I also enjoy the uniqueness. Hopefully the majority of people who wanted one got in. The big turn off for me on this one is I do not personally want to support the model of giving such short notice to...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Had to be strong to resist the new Elmax PM2, (already have the old BBS one), but ended up buying a PM2 in S45VN instead

https://i.imgur.com/PyQbXrp.jpg?1 Here is my submission this year, the PM2 in Maxamet. The Maxamet steel is an amazing feat of engineering, coupled with the versatile and practical PM2 platform. I wanted to capture the Spyderco knife as a hard-working tool, which will last a lifetime if taken care ...

Re: So Is Maxamet Dead Now?
Well, I don't claim to be an expert. But I have found that 15dps, no micro bevel does the best.

Re: How do you rate BHQ's new M4 PM2 over others
I'm enjoying mine, but had to die those ugly scales. The jade looks good with a satin blade, but with black it's just wrong.
