Re: What do you think of metal handles?

I like the way they look, but I dont like the way they feel in use. The only metal handled knife I still have was a gift, and it stays in the collection as a keepsake.

Re: Lifespan of Backlocks?

My old Endura trainer's backlock was defeated by peanut butter. I wrote up a review years ago as my Spyderco PBJ. After a couple years of stirring peanut butter the lock failed constantly and I had to retire it. ??? Did the lock actually fail or get worn out? If so how does peanut butter have anyth...

Re: Spy 27 or ZDP189 or K390

Personally I really want to try K390 myself. I missed out on picking up a G10 Police in K390 and I still kick myself for missing out. K390 is good stuff. The Police 4 LW in K390 will hopefully be getting dropped soon, so you'll get another chance to get that sweet bladeshape in a nice feeling handl...

Re: Spyderco Medium Bench Stone - where does it lie ?

I use the Medium/Brown Spyderco stone (one side f my DoubleStuff stone) to clean up my edges if I want to go beyond a toothy edge after Ive made an edge with my DMT plates. They work really well for this. I use mine dry and wash it off with warm soapy water when it get too loaded up, which restores ...

Re: Count the eBay Flips of Seconds...

Worst Ive seen so far is a 'Seconds' K390 Police 4 going for $250 and it still has the $90 price tag on the blade. These people have no shame. Makes me shake my head because I literally had one of these in my cart and lost it during the CC processing.

Re: Endela K390 in Blue

My K390 Endela arrived today. Im usually an Endura guy, but I gotta say that I really like the design. Handle width is that of the Endura, as is the blade thickness and finger choil area. Blade shape is def more like the Delica, which I like, and I noticed that the finger grooves further down the ha...

Re: Tell us about your Spyderco Knife of the Year 2020

K390 Endura. Adding a crazy steel to a platform Ive always liked is definitely a winner in my book.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

K390 Endela, because after playing with this steel on the Endura I knew I wanted some more. It sharpens up so nice, and is an unbelievable performer when busting up boxes. Cant wait til the Police 4 LW drops in this steel since I cant seem to find any of the G10 models for sale ever anymore. https:...

Re: End of 2020 Opinions on VG-10

VG10 still checks all the right boxes for me as far as a good all around user steel goes. I have it on both my folders and a kitchen knife I use all the time. As much fun as steels like K390, ZDP189, and S110V can be to play with sometimes it's just nice to have a steel that will tolerate a little n...

Re: Seconds Sale, what are you hoping to snag?

Had a Police K390 in my cart, went to check out, put in card, and it went out of stock as it was processing my card. I think I'm done. Y'all have fun with the rest of the sale, this is madness.

Re: Evolving tastes over time?

Ive gone full circle with my Spyderco likes. Started with a blue Endura 4, then went with everything from a Manix, to Millie, to PM2, etc etc etc. Now about 8 years after my first Spyderco Im back to carrying an Endura, or some other LW model from Japan. I enjoy the simplicity and strength of the ba...
