Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?

I've been holding off on the Tenacious with this exact in mind! I hope the Resilience get's the same treatment, would be a joy to have that huge blade in M4! Absolutely! I picked up the Tenacious over the recent sale and that sealed the deal! The Tenacious is on the absolute edge of being too small...

Re: Seki City back lock quality in 2022?

My brand new XL Stretch Salt has gaps between the scales and lock https://i.imgur.com/mJkJ6aX.jpg and the blade slightly rubs against the left scale. On the bright side there is no bladeplay and that's more important to me so I haven't played with the pivot yet. I wouldn't consider this faulty qual...

Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?

Curious to hear if anyone else is up for a Resilience in CPM-M4? I'm up for at least a pair. The M4 Tenacious has a wonderfully thin grind behind-the-edge, and has been a joy to use, without having to modify. M4 is a killer steel, to boot, and surely benefits from such geometry. The heat-treatment i...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

https://youtu.be/jXt_dXhpCAs?si=oQ17vRPGqEQb2kzl Interesting comparison and very close up videos of cuts. The grit progression didn’t matter as much. More about getting a correct apex with the coarse stone. Stropping is optional but can be good . Stropping gives that extra "Zing" to the Z...

I recently purchased a new Pacific Salt H2 SE. It's perfect. Lock up, centering, edge, all perfect. I'm still confident in back lock Seki Spydies.
I recently got me a pair of K390 Enduras and they're perfect. Spyderco/Seki-City are listening, no doubt.

I wonder when the 15V will come out. Can't wait to get it to pair with my S110V Mili2 :D
The upcoming 15th Reveal (with the ton of 15V in it, as per Eric), hasn't been revealed yet. I'd say sometime this Summer at the earliest.

Re: Shaman w/ XHP & Black Micarta

I like it. If they´ll ever do the Bodacious (more my kind of "Shaman") in that combo I´ll definitely be tempted... I agree with your sentiments, though I most-likely wouldn't be a purchaser at the price point. I think it would be worth the investment for Spyderco to do a run, for those wh...

Re: Shaman w/ XHP & Black Micarta

I’ve heard that xhp is no longer being made, so this could be a pretty special exclusive. Do you happen to have a source for reference? I heard it on Mark of the Maker podcast. I can’t recall the episode number. Interesting. I suppose I'll have to check out the podcast, as I wasn't aware of it. Tha...

Re: VG10 HRC

Having enough wear resistance to complete a full day of work/chores to me is the most important feature. I find it ironic that the muffin man behind the camera often promotes vg10 in a negative manner. I think spydercos vg10 pairs very well with the sharpmaker too. You thought he was a man, but he ...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!

Re: Tax day MAP sale!

Indiana Knives has the Sage 5 LW Maxamet for $180 Great price for a killer knife. I picked up a couple back-ups from this sale for similar pricing. Yeah I have the Sage 1 Maxamet so figured I should grab one of these too. Unfortunately for me, I bought one at $200 from REC early this morning :rofl ...

Re: Chaparral Slipit?

Chap SlipIt in SPY27 would be incredible. I find XHP to be a great steel as well, and have no issues with it as some have, but SPY27 further solidifies the "Spyderco-eyness" (thanks Gernot!) of the model. Taichung is starting to work with SPY27, as was softly revealed in this years SHOT Sh...

Re: St Nicks UKPK?

Even though I don't always understand the specific steels asked for certain models, I'm always a proponent for more UKPK variants. Obviously, folks want this, and it's yet another sale for Spyderco and St. Nick's (eventually). The UKPK is highly slept on as a model, and truly one of, if not the best...
