I’m getting much better wear resistance with Rex45 then I am with M4.


Which M4? Spyderco CPM M4?

I haven't spend enough time with Rex45, but if it's substantially better than my M4 Spyderco's I should definitely make the time to get it into my pocket more often.

Yeah I have a Para 2 in M4 ...

I’m getting much better wear resistance with Rex45 then I am with M4. Have never used Cruwear, but heard good things about it.

Following up on my previous post.

I took my REX45 PM2 to the 400 grit stock EP stone last night, and I was having to refresh the surface of the stone even more frequently than with the 220. I noticed it would stop cutting before the stone was even loaded up. I think this was due to glazing over ...

My S90v Military gets really really small chips, so small that I need a 15x lupe to see them, and I can barely feel them with slicing paper or running my fingernail over the edge . My first sharpening were with Shapton glass, 320, 500 and stroppping with BRKT black and green compound I could get a ...

Favorite spyderco model and my favorite folder. You done good, enjoy it it will serve you well.

S90v Military KW exclusive. Titanium and carbon fiber with S90v, in a folder that isn’t custom....huh!!! The knife industry has come a long way. And Spyderco imho is at the top.
Nothing out there for me that has same materials, performance in the same price bracket..My Striders, CRK Sebenza 21 and ...

I used Shapton glass on steels like s30v, 20cv, and all sorts of carbon steels, no problem, but on S90v, 320 Shapton glass was like rubbing glass on glass, left a much more polished edge , much more then say 400 diamond which leaves the edge like a ...

I’ve never had much problem with corrosion , only really showing up on a SnG that was made of PD1 and a bead blasted s30v (SMF), and I was sweating pretty bad (110 degree days) and both knives were saturated in sweat and eventually showed some light rust spots. I’ve done the same with s30v with DLC ...

I like s30v, especially how spyderco heat treats it. Tough , easy to sharpen, rust resistant and takes and holds a good edge . Only time I’ve seen S30v chip was on my very own military. I loaned it to a pretty girl (mistake) who used it to cut zip ties with a cement backing ...Oooof, but sharpened ...

I voted other, because my job basically requires me to carry a knife . I always need to cut stuff wether that’s for work or at home. I am constantly cutting food up for my animals or breaking down boxes, or prepping dinner for the family. I own zero safe queens, every single blade I own (about a ...
