Re: What's your interest in the VG XEOS mule?
Curious as to what the pricing of this Mule is going to look like, but I'm most likely in for a taste.

Re: Could we see a Rex-121 mule?
15V was released in the Manix platform before the MT, so not necessarily.

Re: '' Sal's folder '' is ''revealed'' !!!
sal has been noticeably absent here on the forum for a little while now. I hope all is well and perhaps he's just enjoying the S2XL K390 a bit too much to make his presence here lately .

Re: Reveal 15 - Live!
I'm very surprised at the absolute exclusion of 15V in this Reveal, as Eric was teasing "a ton of 15V in it" during a couple SHOT Show interviews this year :thinking? Perhaps he'll touch on this absence at Blade Show. These iterations look interesting, but as mentioned by a few others, I'm...

Re: VG XEOS
It looks like an attempt to create a finer microstructure and add extra corrosion resistance to the VG-10 "class" of steels, with the goal of achieving an elevated balance of properties. This could mean greater edge stability and toughness in use, along with greater corrosion resistance wh...

Re: UKPK in Magnacut - arrival estimates
UK PenKnife CPM-SPY27 Blue FRN was delivered to US dealers in early August 2023. It was announced in Reveal 13 on May 25, 2023. Wasn't there a g10 version shown by Eric in one of his trade show interviews? I believe the SPY27/G-10 UKPK was "advance revealed" in the interview with DLT Trad...

Re: Caly 4 lw?
Thank you. Just remembered there was talk of a “CKPK” as well as one point, which may have added to my confusion. What's that supposed to be? The Caly is a locking version of the UKPK anyways, is it not? It's supposed to be the Canadian Penknife; 3.5" variant of the UKPK. Maybe it's the "...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?
Fixed blades carry a social stigma that is unshakeable for those with suspicious and fearful eyes, especially so within larger cities. I can count three people that I have seen open hip-carry a fixed blade within the past ~10 years. Folding, pocketable knives are much more discreet and comfortable t...

Re: If you know anything about the Mule Team
Sorry for the bringing up the dead but YES I have searched this forum very briefly but what exactly is "cobalt special"? Is that something that is knowable elementally and.. how's it actually made? I gathered it's a laminated construction which.. makes absolutely no sense to me. I can't j...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
.... I will say this, if you wear slacks, or thin pants, this may be an issue. I wear thicker pants almost exclusively, and this is a non issue. If this is your primary knife that you will utilize and deploy multiple times per day, this could perhaps become an issue regardless, though I don't alway...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal
Sounds like too much pressure leading to an overexaggerated burr being formed and ultimately crumbling your edge. Weaken the burr before jumping to your next stone, ending with alternating passes per side on each stone before moving on in your progression, and see if that doesn't lead to a sharp ed...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

I don’t recall the other steel but that is not the problem. Is there any trick or special sharpening equipment to sharpen the Super Blue steel? I have sha...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
I am hoping once the clip length issue is brought to the attention of Spyderco, they will produce a longer clip... ? I think the best option is to have someone make a custom titanium clip if you really want this knife. Or some permanent modification of the knife. I'm opting to get rid of it and buy...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
I've been carrying the NC LW for nearly a month now, and have had no issue with pocketing, nor retrieving the knife from pocket. I saw this "issue" discussed when photos came out about the knife, but that was still when the model was pending release. Kind of hard to take a data point beyon...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
I really lost my appreciation for the tenacious family after I tried to take both an 8cr and a s35vn model apart. After 3 hours of searching, reading, attempting, neither went back together. Taken dozens and dozens of knives, cheap and expensive, apart and never had an issue. The M4 Tenacious was w...

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...
