Spyderco Forums

I did notice that Spyderco never really used 154CM much (I think just the hollow grind manix, and the ATS 34 spydercos), even when Benchmade, Microtech, and Emerson basically built their entire line ups on the stuff.

Is there any particular property of the steel that stands out?

Terzuola (either model)

Boring and blocky is part of the charm. It's like when you get a reissued vintage g shock

When was the last one, the grey one? Love that they kept the old school barrel clip

Wow, not even hint of diamond

Nice, that belongs with the other #user15v photos

Anyone try these "cheap" bonded diamond stones?

Conversely, are there issues sharpening softer steels on metallic bonded and resin bonded diamond/cbn stones? I remember seeing warnings from certain vendors about it.

Like will I cause accelerated wear from sharpening $10 Dexter Russell's on one?

More thin grinds please on whatever model. New models and designs are fun, but my preference is thin grinds

I want a stovepipe purely because it looks so cool. Definitely pocket jewelry for me

You can't preorder sprints in general

I like the k294 mule. Now you can complete your 10v/pma11 collection!

Some helpful info from Larrin at Knife Steel Nerds

It reminds us how fantastic m4 is.

The steel that started the tool steel revolution

What was the first sprint/exclusive that came in it?

Part of me wishes the G10 one would go on a diet and lose the aggressive jimping, but I'm sure die hard manix fans disagree

I thought Maxamet has a higher carbide volume

So what's left for Maxamet?

This just means that Spyderco finally made enough sprints for everyone to get one

There's 3 (?) versions of clamps available for the r2, each with their own pros and cons. Contact gritomatic directly, they're pretty helpful

Does the zdp/hap40 come laminated from Hitachi, or is it done by a processor like takefu ?

I'll take an exclusive delica/endela/endura in g10. I really wanted the g10 police 4 because I love full liners and backspacere, but I cannot use a 4"+ knife

I remember the urban not being that hard. Curious about this iteration

Man lots of these on the the Facebook/reddit/bladeforums classified sections

I expected the shaman to be the most popular one judging from the old cruwear sprint days

These do have black liners, right?
