Sal,

Depending on the speed at which this sprint sells, is there any possibility of a Para2 in 52100?

I like sandpaper placed on a strip of leather glued to a piece of hardwood. This is separate from your strop.

220 is a good place to start, 150 for heavy re-profiling (too much pressure and it will take forever to get the grind marks out). Then a standard progression of 320 --> 600 --> 800 --> 1000 ...

A big +1.

Now bring on the Para2 in 52100.

IMO, the MT01 in 52100 has been the sleeper of this series, probably because it was the first one in the series. It's a fabulous blade. Sharpens up very well and pretty quickly, holds an edge very nicely. It's not stainless, but that's not a problem.

+1. Not to hijack the thread, but I would ...

Neither.

Waiting for XHP, M4 or...






52100 :cool:

I hope these links are allowed here. In-depth, real-world tests of XHP and 20CP:

XHP

20CP

XHP and 20CP are different steels. If your google-fu is strong you can find some info on the latter.

I am waiting for the former.

Just wait until the XHP and M4 versions come out.**










**Disclaimer: I have no direct knowledge of either one of these steels being used in the para 2; this is purely speculation.

My current setup: Delica FFG VG10, Swamp Rat Warden SR101.

Unless the forum knife is released in the next 10 days I think you're overly optimistic.

I really like my Spyderco Ronin. The one issue I have with it is its size when wearing it as a neck knife. I just took delivery of the custom pictured next to it that will be with me during the hot summer months. .110" S30V w/ CF slabs.

It's a Janich design. Given that another company now sponsors his training, I don't see it happening.

I finally got my Mule #1 finished. Thanks to Raythebigfoot for the scales and Mashed Cat for the kydex.

I think they lasted about 3 days.

2003 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird. I don't know why Honda came up with such a mouthful, but it is what it is.

We're thinking of another Swick run. Haven't worked out details.

From the other forum here.

They're up. Two inbound.

Call me old fashion and safety conscious...

To open the Para-Military, I thumb it open with the Spyder Hole.

To close it, I use a two-hand procedure where I grip the Spyder Hole with the index finger and thumb, and the blade with the middle and third fingers, of one hand, while depressing the ...
