Spyderco Forums

Whew! Been awhile since I've posted. Been on a traditional kick. Still owning/using my Spydies. The only thing that I can't stand is blade play. A lil up and down on a backlock is okay, but the side to side play kills a knife for me. The only time I'll accept it is if it is a pinned knife AND I've u...

You can get quite a variety of nice knives for $100...

Play dough, perhaps.

Nope. No interest in that one.
High height hollow, maybe.

I keep meaning to get one of those. Still love my Electrician

If you can’t recite everything that’s in your collection then it’s likely not a collection.

Ugh you're right. Looks like it is time to start selling.

Here is a knife collection question for you all, infact: If a person has a number of knives and some are kept in boxes with the original packing materials, do they have to periodically take the knife or knives out, whether they be fixed or folder, and check them for signs of rust, or, if they are k...

I have both and prefer hap40. V-toku sharpens like most other simpler carbon steels. Hap40 is easy to sharpen too but I find it to be a great steel for toughness and edge holding. I've only ever had one spot on hap40 too, fwiw. Both will take your low angles just fine. You'd get a better toothy edg...

Geez, Michael is that GEC a two finger grip!? Funny seeing the Chap look like a large knife! It is actually a nice three-finger grip. I lost two Dragonflies that were clipped to my pocket. The final DF I had was clipless with a simple para cord fob I made. It stayed in my pocket. Just got my blue b...

Well heat treated 1095 brings me a lot of joy. Easy to sharpen and does what I need it too. Peter's Heat Treat does a great job.

Last year and through now I've been really impressed by cru wear, cpm154, and hap40. Especially cpm154 and hap40. They sharpen beautifully. Still wanting to try 4v

I was just carrying a lil Case Peanut today but then picked up a Delica to cut through some stuff and thought the same thing. Perspective changes happen so quickly.

IKEA Detolf. Had two before we got a huge cabinet to replace them

I like that! I don't like that shipping is $40 but I suppose that is inescapable. Around $100 to my door probably isn't terrible.

Hey all. So, I'm getting some back pay next month. Not a ton but enough to get me excited. So, I wad thinking after I get that I might invest in a decent piece of knife display. Maybe a shadow box or something with glass to show off some of my fancy traditional, fixed blades, and ti knives when I'm ...

Buddies!

I agree with Michael on those steels. They're very well rounded. I will add LC200n to the list as I've found that it uses and sharpens much like vg10.

For blade shapes from Spyderco, the leaf shape is king in my opinion. They do a wharncluffe exceptionally as well.

I had a pretty good tax return. Can't wait for that beautiful, Manbug sized GEC #06. Blue bone, coke bottle shape, and wharnie check a lot of my boxes. The second one, a Katz, was pretty expensive as far as a factory made traditional goes. Really just bought it to have a higher end stockman in stain...

I thought the big issue was what came out about Benchmade's political donations.

I'm staying neutral. No strong opinions tbh.

I would do the Endura or Delica.
The Stretch 2 is a great one as well.
I'd skip the Military and PM2 at first and go for something slicier. The Kapara seems great.
The Police 4 is sick but the k390 on it can be a handleful.

I'd start with one of the Japanese frn models.

How to those Northwoods cut with the saber grind? I've never spent the additional premium on those becuase I'm unsure of the saber in use. But I ...
