Padawan, chances you'd get another one that has uneven lines. I'm of the mind that it hasn't affected the use of my knives in any way whatsoever now that I've had plenty of time to try them out. In fact I've bought several more knowing they'd be uneven. It is one of the sharpest out of the box knive...

S125V is a beast of a stainless steel. I'd love to try it too but something tells me we'll see something in S90V first, along with the collaberations with Mr. Schemp in 3V. Right now S125 is the steel of only a handfull of custom makers. IIRC, Cliff Stamp has a small custom paring knife in it he tal...

When did Benchmade do this? I havent much experience with carbide. What locking mechanism would you use? Traditional lock back? It was back when they came out with the specwar model cqc7. They made some all titanium models. They had to use something non magnetic for the cutting edge, and their ti a...

Spyderco hasn't made a ____ yet and it would sell because___
A two bladed knife with one standard or spyder edged blade and one blade coated with Diamond or Tungston carbide chips. Essentially a saw blade that could cut through darn near anything even glass, some metals etc. Copperhead style rather than swiss army knife style. No huge saw type blade. I bought...

Ceya, that's an interesting, good looking design. It almost reminded me of AIRCAT with the grind lines and non traditional North American hunter lines. The lines looked good, finish good too. What brought about your decision to use this type steel instead of the more predictable variants. Don't get ...

DC53 for fixed and ATS 34 for folder. Im coming out with a DC53 folder. That's a souped up D2 type steel right? Let us know how the folder works out. Do you have any experience with that steel, heat treating it, grinding, and polishing it? It sounds like there would be easier steels to work with fo...

Gollum, S30V is an upgrade in certain ways but the 440V is still plenty good and useable. The biggest complaint is that it's hard to sharpen and reprofile as it has so much vanadium in it. If it wasn't good steel to begin with Sal would never would have used it. Use it and enjoy it, or keep it as a ...

Sal and Spyderco has changed not only the state of the art in knifes. but the whole industry landscape. I've always admired the knives I'd carried but the more I learned, the more I thought it would be a resource to lurk here and get information about everything from sharpening different steels to f...

A G-2 Endura FRN ( still has intact moulded clip) which was my first spyderco back in 80's or early 90's, I really can't remember. I carried it for at least 7 or 8 years, and bought more during that time incase I broke or lost it. I never did and still take it out to carry every now and then. Second...

Mein Gott, Red BMW just described what happened to me some time ago. I don't even go to the forums that used to bring me into the real world with meaningless political discussions and arguments. No more Red states, blue states, social democrats or conservatives. Just other knife knuts and steel junk...

Other companies first attempt at making a ZDP knife
Some of you have heard about and even purchased the ti framelock/zdp knife just released by a competing company. Being A titanium framelock with ZDP I had to pre order one out of a total sprint run of 950. The first 350 were released about a week ago. After the first couple of days the complaints st...

The line up is doing pretty well. The ones that came out last year, the sprint runs, plus the ones just coming out keep the lineup progressing. Things are good and getting better. They've done a lot of work and it has paid off for us :) . I certainly hope to see Sals continued exploration of the new...

My first choice would go to the upgraded ( liner) BG42 military. When it locks up it makes a sound that inspires confidence in me. Before I bought it, my choice would be the manix. If allowed a second knife and couldn't take a fixed blade, or axe or better yet entrenching tool I'd take a VG10 Endura...
