Re: Sharpening Sprints and Exclusives

Re: New k390 endura is smooth

All the Seki knives I own came with rough finishing on the blades. Those include VG-10, V-Toku 2 and H1. I've had to do some work on all of them to take of some rough edges/burrs on some parts of the blades and also smooth out the opening holes quite a bit. I Purchased and received a Police 4 FRN K3...

Re: Salt knives pivot lube ?

Thanks for all the feedback. Much appreciated. I Only use a little lube if the knife was disassembled and I'm putting it back together again. Maybe once a week or when ever it's needed I'll put a small drop lube on the tang where it operates against the lock bar. This has always worked fine for me a...

Re: Who edc's their Endura?

Lucky for me I live in South Africa and we have zero knife laws, you can carry a machete if you want to :D Endura is one of my favorite EDC knives. I Have the V-Toku sprint and it sees plenty of pocket time. I Ordered a Pacific Salt 2 witch should arrive in a couple of days. I'm pretty excited to ge...

Re: Pm2 S110V

I Bought mine in 2016. I Used it every now and then for the first two years but for the last two years it's been my EDC at least five days of the week. You can take Jim's advice, I agree with everything he said. I Sharpen mine with a Lansky using the 17 degree setting and only go up to the medium st...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought

I Bought a Beretta 1301 COMP. Licence applications in South Africa is a real PITA and I waited five months for it get approved. I Received it two days before our lock down started so it hasn't even fired a shot yet. Hopefully in two weeks time I can get it to the range.

I can't compare it to 8cr but it is less than VG-10. Still, I love PE H1. Take a look at this: https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=83361
Thanks, that is very informative.

H1 PE question

Hey everybody.
Sorry if this has been asked or discussed before.
H1 in plain edge, to what other steel is it's edge retension comparable to ?
General light everyday use, no heavy cutting tasks. VG-10 or 8CR13MOV maybe or not ?

Sorry for the hijack but how effective will a Delica 4 Wharncliffe be for self defence application ? It does resemble the Yo2 somewhat ?
