Re: VG10 HRC

Even though I've been really intrigued by a couple of the newer Supersteel blades in the Spyderco line up I've always kept quite a few Spyderco VG-10 models in my user arsenal. VG-10 is a great dependable "Hard Use" blade steel that is relatively easy to maintain. You can get a really nice...

Re: Happy Birthday Mushroom!

Happy Birthday to my good Spyder-Brother "MUSHROOM". Even though him and I don't agree sometimes I'm still glad he is a member of the Spyderville community. I hope he has a fabulous day!

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

It's like the Chiefs are King Midas and Pittsburgh is King Midus in reverse 🙄 It's good to be a Chiefs fan It wasn't always that way. The Schottenheimer years from 88 to 99 were a constant ongoing disappointment. The teams were great during the regular season but they always choked in the playoffs....

Re: Spyderco Models We Need In FULL SE

The Ark was initially released in both plain edge and serrated edge. The serrated model was discontinued in 2021 though. (Maybe due to slow sales) The more I use my full SE, C-60 Cruwear Ayoob it is rapidly becoming my all time favorite full SE blade. I've been using one for a main EDC for well ove...

Re: Out Of Production Fixed Blade

I did get the privilege to test drive a TEMP 2 once upon a time thanks to a great Spyder-Brother. And I do hope some day that I can snag one at some point. But I must say that it's predecessor the TEMPERANCE 1 model is to this day my favorite Spyderco fixed blade up till now. The two TEMP 1 models t...

Re: Spyderco Models We Need In FULL SE

While the initial release of the ARK was PE only, a fully serrated version was produced (and then discontinued). Outstanding little cutter. I would most definitely love to see a Serrated version of the ARK model. That would be one interesting hard use blade in SE. The ARK is one of at least 15 mode...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

I really like my SE Ayoob, but I LOVE my Cru-wear Manix 2 sprint run, a serrated Cru-Wear Manix would be an instant buy for me, maybe two of them! IMG_3571.jpeg A full SE Manix in Cruwear makes a ton of common sense. Another Eric Glesser design I would love to see in Cruwear SE would be the Dodo mo...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

Would love to try it! Think we can get it in a full production model? Hamilton I have raised that issue on several occasions. I know that Spyderco typically doesn't like the re-release older models. But the C-60 Ayoob is an exception as far as overall design and ergonomics are concerned. It's most ...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Wentz can still be a decent back up for if whatizface gets dinged for a game or two. Wentz has a lot of experience and knowing he is a back up and not a franchise with all that stress can do a lot of the stuff on the sideline and in the film room to help carry the burden. Well maybe it will be a go...

CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

I know it's maybe not completely fair and rational to judge the performance of a blade steel by using only one serrated Spyderco model. But the C-60 full SE CRUWEAR blade is very similar to working with a real life "LASER" And it sharpens up very nicely as well. And Cruwear is also a great...

I know I'm like a 33rpm record album with a scratch/skip in it. But I still can't for the life of me understand why they won't make the Catcherman model in full SE again. And this new model with the corrosion resistant steel would be perfect for a full SE blade. There are some fish fillet jobs where...
