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...

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 ultimately skipped this Mule. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it, Steeltoez.

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: Bodacious Update?
I don't mean to be impatient (which is exactly what someone would say who was being impatient) but is there any hope that these will be out soon? Thanks in advance sal will usually post somewhere (sometimes) when he has received a production sample. That should give a decent estimation of a month o...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
FWIW, It looks as though Chicago Knife Works is still listing their Spyderco sale prices. Thank you for the heads up. I missed their deal on the wharncliffe Lil Native yesterday and I was still able to pick one up for $121 today. I appreciate it. Nice score! I'm glad you were able to grab something...

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!
I recently had some new expenses crop up to financially support a significant change for my family (all good, but different), and as a result I have decided to significantly reduce my knife expenditures. Yesterday was probably the first sale in quite awhile that I didn't get anything, and it was de...

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...
