Spyderco Forums

my condolences to his family although I never knew him I am waiting very patiently to get one of the black zdp lum knives.

thanks bob

depending on price, I think I would be interested although I am in canada but I think i could afford the 25$ shipping

common super steels, YXR7!!!!

A company called Liquid Metal makes an amorphous (non-crystalline) bulk glassy metal based on zirconium. It possesses high hardness, excellent corrosion and wear resistance. It also has extremely high strength and high ductility. It is making its way into consumer products such as a base ball bat, a ...

My choice would be the kopa or the lum tanto.

Since you want partially serrated I would definately take a look at the native or the delica but for a plain edge the calypso jr. is a great knife. Also as Zac said NGK is a great store.

what about CPM Rex 121?

Sal/others,

I was wondering if there is any chance of a spyderco using any of the new Japanese Super Steels such as hitach YXR7 or HAP72?

Or maybe something like BOHLER S390 Microclean or UDDEHOLM ASP60?

the steel nuts need something new ...

i can't wait

787 please.

I've got one (in canada too!).

Just curious which knife shops in TO carry spydies?

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Epoxy, would be like carbon fiber reinforced but technically should be cheaper and its interesting.

I'm 19 and I have a Black Caly Jr. and a ZDP-189 Caly Jr. and I'm going to buy the S125V millie and ZDP Lum Chinese when they come out!.

Manix for sure, strong, big, and cool looking to impress the natives :)

I wish the spydie hole was bigger on that knife, I just think it would look better. (Not to mention for people who actually use knives, a bit easier to open with gloves or when your frozen in Canada)

I didn't say I wouldnt buy one :) , I love my Caly Jr. and I would jump on the opportunity to get a ZDP or H1 full sized Caly.

As much as I love the Calypso, I just don't like using folders in the kitchen, no need really when a fixed blade is easier to clean and you dont really need to walk away with your chef's knife in your pocket.

ZDP-189 and Cowry-X are very similiar steels, both have similiar composition and they are also both powder metallurgy steels. However, ZDP-189 is made by Hitachi and Cowry-X by Daido, both in Japan.

I have yet to have any problems with acids with my ZDP-189 Caly and I've used it in the kitchen a ...
