I’m seeing a lot of CPM M4 and I’m I big fan of CPM M4 because it takes a wicked edge and it lasts for ages and when it dulls, a little stropping and come right back up to super sharp as for super blue or Cru-Wear I haven’t any experience those steels which is unfortunate but I think that there is n...

I have a dog. A staffie or to you Americans a Staffordshire bull terrier. It’s a British breed rather like one of your pit bulls but a smaller version but with out the bad attitude. Your Pit bulls are banned over here but they are some people who have them and there not supposed to. I’m a dog person...

I was always taught “Do unto those as you would have done to your self” in other words “Treat those exactly how you would like to be treated”

Wasn’t that Jesus Christ ?

Ohh yeah super blue, again I missed my chance to get one so yes I’d like to see some super blue knives ! I wish I could get a folder in super blue. I can get a kitchen knife in super blue but no spydies in that steel. Any way does anyone know the Rockwell on super blue spydie

That just about broke my ribs I was laughing that hard. Very good.

honestly the delay of the para3 sprint in CF has made me lose complete interest in the company terrible, absolutely terrible way its been handled... Spyderco is a very very busy and a successful company that caters to......well the world and is on every continent and both plannet earth and you have...

Hi everyone I’m just curious to see what favourite steel and platform you would love to see a Re-Run of. I’d love to get a Para 1 in CPM M4 or even a 2 but I do like the longer blade and belly of the older platform and with Carbon Fibre scales and I’d also love to get a Rubicon in Carbon fibre as I ...

Sorry I pressed the wrong button and ended up reposting mattmans post but what I was going to say was the best advice one can get is from the people or “companies” more aptly who made the knife. They have thousands and thousands of hours put into R & D of these knives and not to mention testing ...

Good advice RLDubbya. My experience was that it took a bit of muscle memory training to get the butt to nest in the right spot in my palm (XL Mechanix gloves fit me just about perfectly). After that short learning curve, it became natural, and certainly felt less awkward. I think this gets often mi...

Jammin57, I have 7 Manix’es and collect them and they all work flawlessly. You don’t want to be taking your Manix 2s apart risking your warranty. The secret to a easey opening lock on a Manix 2 is time !, you need to play with you Manix a lot and get that spring worked in as a spring losses it’s te...

New to the boards and hoping this is posted correctly. I would like to hear what folks are saying about the spring tension on the Manix II ball bearing lock. The tension on my knife makes it way too hard to close the blade. I have seen some talk about this but have not seen a lot of solutions. Of c...

Stuman, a few interesting articles on Wootz, apologies if you’ve seen them already http://www.tameshigiri.ca/2014/01/21/razor-edged-3-comparing-metallurgy/ http://insa.nic.in/writereaddata/UpLoadedFiles/IJHS/Vol42_4_2_JVerhoeven.pdf http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/9809/Verhoeven-9809.html Chee...

Just doing looking at real Demarcus swords and stumbled across this http://partsolutions.com/the-real-valyrian-steel-the-lost-secrets-and-science-of-damascus-steel/ it looks as if the secret has been discovered and it’s all about carbon content and no chromium !!! So may be Roselli has taken pages o...

apparently it’s a “Wootz steel” which is a type of Damascus or layered knife steel even though you can’t see any layers Uhhh... Wootz eh? That's an interesting claim. And you think it's got invisible layers? Hmmm. Sorry OP, I think you're getting snookered for an easy $200. The puukko looks nice th...

Demarcus steel or Wootz steel will not be visible until it’s been etched in acid and from what I can see that knife has not had an acid etch I'm well aware of that. I am not, however, aware of any maker that goes thru the expense and trouble of pattern welded steel and then not etch it . Did you re...

cant wait to put it to the test. Time will reveal all.

Yeah I can’t wait to see if it’s a load of crap and as Zhyla said blurb. I’m not falling for marketing lies as I’m doing the oppersate and putting it to the test (also my curiosity) and if it turns out to be a HC and not as claimed a UHC steel at least I’ve got a nice knife out of it but I have plan...
