Spyderco Forums

I would kindly ask you: if somebody checked/measured HRC hardness of Native Salt plain edge magnacut steel, I would very much appreciate to know the result.
Contrary to what many people think it is very important to know the hardness of the blade because some important properties of knife, e.g ...

Delica 4, ZDP-189, Flat grind, British Racing ... green dandle.

I find F&F perfect, no blade play, feeling strong, I like color, ...

Happy Easter to Spyderco's family.

Those were the days, Sal, - Mike Janich, Bram Frank, etc.

I have 2 Wegner jrs. I never heard about fish sign. However, for people who might wonder why fish symbol is used as a Christan sign - here is an explanation


ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichthys) is an acronym[citation needed] for "Ίησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ", (Iēsous Christos, Theou Yios, Sōtēr), which ...

Posting the Rc invites argument. "I think it should be xxx", "Why didn't you xxx?", "So and so says abc", etc. etc.



Hope that helps.

Sal,

what is wrong if somebody thinks you should go with higher or lower HRC?
That is why forums exist. To ask questions, to put remarks, to discuss, even ...

We would really need a mule in BG42 steel in order to compare BG42 with CTS B75P - a particle (sinter) version of BG42.
Sal?

And Mr. Janich answered without hesitation "A barong". Something in the works we need to know about, guys? :cool:

I, for one, would LOVE to see a Spyderco Barong. The gap left by the Hossom knives has been mentioned in the recent past and it's about time y'all done filled it! :D

Me too. Although ...

I think, Cliff understand a lot about locks since he tested many lock systems.

BTW, Cliff, where are your reviews - I lost links - I would appreciate if you could help?

I've been looking at small Spydercos for awhile now, and heres what I'm looking for. I want the thinnest blade possible made by spyderco regardless of blade length. I was using a slipjoint earlier and man that small little blade sliced like a dream. So what spyderco knife would you guys say has the ...

Could it be a Wegner Jr.? It has a lot of belly, very strong saber grind, ONE liner, G-10 handle, ATS-34 steel.

Below, the first one from the left is a Wegner jr. The second one is a Centofante jr. with SecurLock system (double lock system), the third one is small Sebenza.

What I am wondering is why anyone thinks Brad is a dullard or a neophyte? :eek: :D

I an sorry, no offense intended. My feeling was (and is) that it would not be correct at all to call the HT of Titanium lock a 'short time solution'.

I edited my comment to make more clear and (I hope) polite ...

What makes you think that heat-treating the lockbar face costs more that creating a lockbar with a steel (possibly heat-treated) interface? :rolleyes:

And what about the possibility of replacing the interface in case it wears out due to excessive use?

About the lockbar face costs - it was just ...

The use of Carbides and heat treating the titanium only covers the "problem" for a short time, adding stainless steel... solves it! Good call Spyderco... good call.

Sounds as a nonsense to me. If you read Chris Reeve's forum you should find much more about HT of Titanium, extreme Rc hardness ...

Are the titanium lockbar faces on Spyderco models such as the Ti Military and Sage 2 heat treated for wear resistance?

It was my question too. I never got an answer. My guess is no. It would move, guess, the prices towards Sebenza prise. But, I would rather pay more and have heat treated lockbar ...

Wegner jr. is one of the best (if not the best) Spydercos ever produced. Its liner lock is a miracle itself - whatever I did it stays at the same position, I fully trust it.

Here is a photo of Wegner jr. with two more evergreens - Centofante jr. (ATS-34 steel) and a small Sebenza (BG-42 steel ...

Hi Franco,

Hope I didn't leave you pissed off too long. My travel schedule has been aggressive for the past few weeks and I was not able to take the time to respond. My apology.

Needless to say,this has been a controversial topic. What to "speak" becomes the question. Eric tried to engage ...

I picked up some mango passion fruit jam that I can't wait to try.

This is a point I was missing!

The venerable Manix2 with the strongest and most reliable lock is actually designed for cutting bread and puting a mango passion fruit jam on it!

But, still, be careful. If a mango passion fruit ...

... although "salmon overstrike" can be some serious stuff! ;)

I think the real issue here is fanatics for a certain brand can't accept that a failure took place on a knife they like, by a company they like and now they are on the defensive where if the knife had done well and another brand had ...
