Re: Spyderco and hrc

Honestly, I find it alarming that so many folks don't ever bat an eyelid at demanding such HRC numbers from Chinese heat-treated super steels from the big Chinese companies that pump out such product, yet slander Spyderco for not publishing their HRC numbers of even the lesser-alloyed steels that t...

Re: Spyderco and hrc

This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the surface of what we can see. This is the funniest part about this post: it’s just wrong. I’m not opposed to target hardness being made available. But without edge geometry it’s pretty useless information. Most customers won’t really k...

Re: Spyderco and hrc

No, keeping your proprietary information in any industry is paramount. So I’m a M4 fanboy. Love it have several knives from several makers. Have used it for 20 years and sharpened it hundreds of times. All makers blades. The one thing I do know, Spyderco does it the best. It might be an extra half o...

Re: Survive knives

Survive is a train wreck on Instagram. Plenty of claims made due to the steel and not his over pre-order. (And yes his pre-order price and timeline was way off the mark of being profitable or achievable without hiring staff) He doubled down blaming the steel which didn’t go down well. He was even o...

Re: Custom Kitchen Knife Came In

I make a Petty in 80CrV2. You will find it a dream to sharpen. Not the best for corrosion so no leaving in the sink.

Re: What is your favorite Delica variant?

https://files.catbox.moe/nir8h3.jpeg This is the one knife I still rave about to anyone till this day. Delica Pakkawood from Knifecenter. Probably the biggest WOW out of the box of any knife I have bought. Love it and the build is better than many more expensive knives. https://nemoknivesreview.com...

Re: Upping the price.

Funny as I was buying a set of callipers the other day and I thought of this thread. Prices ranged from $20 to $100 and several makers with products made in several countries. Paid near the top of the price for three reasons Company I trust Quality I trust Innovative design. Spyderco has the same 3 ...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

This Mule team has always been a testing platform for new steels and products. I have probably 5-7 steels that are not available as a knife maker let alone have a fully functional knife that is heat treated and sharp (just missing a handle even though I can buy one) As a knife maker I battle to make...

Re: New(ish) Delica is covered in surface rust

Have sent knives to the US from Northern Australia for $20aud (larger hunting and Chef knives I make) so a Delica in a small satchel with some bubble wrap won’t be that expensive. But for me a bit of Bar keepers Friend would do you straight. Send me a PM and I can sort someone in Australia who could...
