Re: Military 2 (PRE-ORDER) posted on KnifeCenter $196

> Not an expert by any means, but I seem to recall that S35VN to a large part is an "improvement" for the makers (a bit easier to work with), and not necessarily for the users.

You may be right... that's what makes it worth discussing! But if you are right... then what happened? If it is easier for ...

Re: Military 2 (PRE-ORDER) posted on KnifeCenter $196

Even if I accept that S30v might be better than I think... and I'm totally willing to believe that is possible... there are two things that always pull me away from a knife made with S30V.

1) Yeah, I know this is stupid and it shouldn't matter... but S30V is just so "common" that it is flat out ...

Re: Has Anyone Used a Spyderco Folder for Field Dressing?

He’s right about the Wegner! It’s my only Spyderco with a combo blade. I knew I wanted to use it as a deer hunting knife so that’s what I bought all those years ago.

Re: 2022 Reveal — Stovepipe Thread C260TIP

Just got my new Stovepipe today. I liked the design when I first saw it… but the price was just too high for me to jump. Then last week True Shot Gun Club had a 20% off all knives sale. My first thought was “a percentage sale… what’s the most expensive they have?” And there was the Stovepipe. 20 ...

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive

Mine came and it is totally perfect as far as I can see. Amazing quality for a production knife.

As I said in another thread... the real "take away" I get from this knife is ... it feels so good in the hand, looks so nice in person... that I would have picked this knife up in a knife store, played ...

Re: The Phoenix has landed on eBay....

I got all the way through buying one on Edgeworks. Confirmation email. Then got a “sorry, we screwed up and don’t have one” email!

Re: DLT Exclusive Red G10 M390 Smock

I just ordered one as well. Never even held this model in my hand. Darn exclusives are dangerous to even look at. Voice in your head says, "You can always sell it if you don't like it!"

Re: Alert Only Thread - Manix 2 Lightweight CPM-REX45 Burnt Orange FRCP C101PBORE2 Sprint Run

Thank you RustyIron.

Standard price instead of a jacked up one. And free shipping.

I'm happy... my wife will be less so if she discovers I've "bought another knife... how many knives does one guy need?!"

Re: Alert Only Thread - Manix 2 Lightweight CPM-REX45 Burnt Orange FRCP C101PBORE2 Sprint Run

I put it in my Cart. I have a $50 credit there (KC) ... so figured I would probably buy it after dinner.

Now I'm mad at myself!
