Got this yesterday, a Large BM Bone Collector handle/frame and a stock 520 blade...nice knife.

But in all fairness the one most in my pocket these days is my Sage 2 which I've had for a few weeks now. The Sage 1 in NIB and ...

PPT, maybe a CF Native, and one of the Bradley knives would work.

Interesting read and thanks for the comments ...I use IE 8.0 with XP Pro...and never have problems with cookies, and other than the S'co site never have to log back in each time. So a little research is overdue I guess...

Hi.

Every time I go to the Forum page I have to log in. Clicking on the 'Remember me' button doesn't really do anything.

It's not a big deal but any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

I use hot soapy water followed by the blow dryer set to the lowest setting, and then apply a drop of Tuff-Glide to each side of the pivot. I most always do this if a knife comes in used and gummy and otherwise only if the knife gets gummed up from food or meat prep.

Edge Pro and Sage 2.

My Sage 2 isn't ready for a full sharpen just yet, the 1200 grit EP ceramic rod works well for a quick touchup. But when it's time what do you guys use for the angle/setting?

I read it's 30 inclusive, but others say to set the table to 21 degrees for a better edge.

What's your say on this?

Sage Advice.

I picked up my Sage 2 last week and just received the Sage 1 in the mail from Roger's KW site...and never mind where they're made I consider them to be world class knives.

I carry other brands but the Sage 2 has been my EDC all week and shows no sign of letting up.

Here's pics:

Congrats on getting your Sage 2. I picked up my new Sage 2 in a trade yesterday and just ordered a Sage 1.

These are great knives, the Ti 2 is one of the best knives I've owned, never mind where it was made, the quality and fit are super.

Now can't wait for the CF 1 to arrive! :)

I'm stuck in a dilema, but a good one. I just picked up a NIB C36 FGD2 Millie and a used C36GPSBK. While I don't need anything else in the Spydie camp, my 25+ Benchmades have been sitting around trying to figure out how to get rid of those two... ;)

The Millies are just that good a knife design ...

That's quite true. Now I look at my BM 707 and laugh. It's a nice knife, but it does look really small now...

Thanks for your reply.

I've been into Benchmades for years, but in the last few months have been looking closer at Spydies.

Starting off with a couple of Millies makes me want some more. At first I thought the thing was too big, but the ergos and comfort of the knife have made me come 'round ...

Finish question

Hi Guys.

I've been collecting knives for years but am new to Spyderco's products...a friend just sold me a CPM-D2 Millie with that highly polished blade and that's where I have a question:

I love the knife, and have used it as my EDC for a couple of weeks now. What I've noticed is the blade seems ...
