Spyderco Forums

Thank you Spyderco for the opportunity to participate from Europe. I could score a long wanted Military. I really wanted more but that was a fun game. I really can't understand the crying folks with their "worst customer experience ever". I mean Spyderco said they where doing something against bots ...

I had some issues as well with Chrome. After contact with Spyderco they asked for device software combination.

It no worked with Opera Browser and Win 10. Maybe try another Browser besides Chrome.

Thank you Spyderco. I am really looking forward to the online Seconds sale.

Best regards. Stefan

Same as on Christmas.

Have a nice evening everyone.

Greetings

I'm in.

Best community I've ever experienced.

I did a Vickers Hardness Test on my Delica 4 VG-10 Sabre Grind in the metallurgical department where i wrote my bachelor thesis.

#1: 694 HV10
#2: 723 HV10
#3: 710 HV10

Avg: 709 HV10

equals: 60,5 HRC

Greetings

The reason why it doesn't rust-proof metals is because the deposit method we use cannot create a uniform enough layer so imperfections/pores will occur, so all those imperfections allow oxygen, salt or other catalysts to reach the metal beneath. Thank you that wasn't clear to me. Just found a paper...

Here is my humble opinion on that subject. Rust is iron oxide. Rust is prevented in stainless steels by forming chromium oxide on the surface. In both cases there is a metal reacting with the oxygen in the air. DLC is almost pure carbon. It's reaction with the oxygen in the air will Form most likely...

I think Sal once asked for input for a knife/knife version if anything was possible. That was before LC200N was introduced to the lineup. I then thought of a Manic LW Salt but didn't post it, because I thought Salt meant it needs to be manufactured in Japan. So I narrowed my own mind instead of thin...

For me it's 8cr13mov. Most people rant about it. But I like him in the daily chores and it's super easy to touch up.

Also there are great designs for a budget like the Tenacious or the Bow River.

I am in for a Ukpk Salt. An exclusive would be more expensive so please just a "regular".

Greetings

I would like to see one aswell

Spyderco is about the only company manufacturing great designs in a variety of steels (e. g. PM2).

A couple of years ago you would have to search long for a powder steel blade. Now this premium materials are accessible in a lot of models and price ranges.

I carry my first gen bd1 drop point slipjoint a lot and i really like the hollow grind and the ergonomics in the "fencing" grip. In Germany you do not have many options with cool one handed knives due to law restrictions. Nevertheless i wouldn't call CTS-BD1 "cheap". We have to keep in mind that Spy...

Interesting that Carpenter also makes a variant:

The amount of molybdenum kicks it a little out of the comparison imo.

The H1 in the Pacific Salt is better suited for the all time seawater exposure. The lc200n on the Native is still a martensitic steel and therefore still endangered to rust, tho he is more rustproof then many other steels. So plus 1 for the Pacific Salt.

I still wish this (LC200N Salt) would come to the Manix 2 Lightweight form! Give me a wire clip anytime over the stock clip of the Native!

Same for me pls

Yes because the damascus pattern is only visible when etched with acid.
