Re: What do you sharpen with?

So for DMT, would you recommend these models, or different ones? I'll probably go with freehand first since like Hoosier said, it's a good skill to have. https://www.dmtonlinestore.com/6-Diamond-Whetstone-Sharpener-with-Plastic-Box-P6C21.aspx https://www.dmtonlinestore.com/8-Diamond-Whetstone-P2C22....

What do you sharpen with?

Hey all, I'm looking to get into actually sharpening my knives for once in my life, and I wanted some recommendations as to what you all use and recommend. I've got a variety (Spyderco, BM, Kershaw, etc.) so whichever sharpener can be the most versatile (i.e. sharpen a wider variety of knives with a...

Re: Funny Dog Stories

We've got 3 dogs (Maltese, German Shepherd, and Husky), so there's no shortage of stories. One of the best is with our shepherd Sasha, who was a rescue and is a very smart pup. A few years ago my dad, little brother, and I were at the local dog park throwing a frisbee to Sasha. My dad threw it to me...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Persistence. Just bought it today after maybe 3 weeks of "research" (me just looking at Spyderco's online for a few hours at a time) and it's going to be my first Spyderco.

Re: Spyderco Swick

I liked the look of the swick series, and if they made one in H1 or some other rust resistant metal, I would definitely get one. Been looking for a neck knife for a bit.

Re: Spyderco Swick

So if a lot of people would want to buy one, is there any way that Spyderco might take a look at this thread or some others and decide to do another limited run?

Re: A first post regarding a first Spyderco

I see the Delica is a major recommendation for a first Spydeco, would y'all suggest getting the one with the wave feature or no for a first?

Spyderco Swick

Hey all, I've spent countless hours over the past few weeks just oogling over pretty much every Spyderco product trying to see which will be my first purchase. One of the knives I saw was the Swick series that was discontinued. It seemed like a pretty good series and I was wondering if anyone knows ...

Re: Para 3 as first Spyderco?

One of the things that drew me towards the Para 3 was the compression lock. How strong is it compared to liner and the other forms of locks?

Re: Para 3 as first Spyderco?

Hey all and thanks for the info and warm welcome.

The Para 3 that got my eyes was the C223GPCMOBK with the black blade and camo handle.

As for the knife that I sharpened once, yes it was a bit sharper but later on I tried another knife and all I ended up doing was slightly scratching the blade.

Re: Para 3 as first Spyderco?

Hi and thanks for the welcome,

I don't have much experience sharpening. A brother of mine bought an old school whetstone once and I tried sharpening a fixed blade on it. Not sure if I did it right or not. I've looked at the Sharpmaker and it might be something I'll pick up at a later date.

Para 3 as first Spyderco?

Hey all, Brand new here, don't even have a Spyderco (yet) and I'm going to get one soon. Always wanted one but never wanted to pony up a larger amount of money than I was used to. Christmas time is coming around so I'm going to finally going to treat myself a bit. I've spent hours looking at fixed a...
