Re: 8Cr Alternative

If the knife design and QC are decent I don't mind 8CR. The Astute comes to mind. However, if I'm going to pick up a knife in 8CR I also would prefer a serrated edge. I've got a couple of Byrds in 8CR SE that I consider to be the Energizer Bunny of pocket knives. They just keep going and going and ...

Re: Updated steel for The Bow River

Thanks for the link, nice looking sheath. But dang, that's more than I want to spend just to hold some 8CR steel.

I feel your pain Vivi. I got a thing lately for Rockscale Designs Titanium scales and picked up a set for the M2 XL Salt in anticipation, along with a TI lanyard tube. And then I waited...

Picked up a Lynch clip to go with it. And then I waited...

Picked up a Flytanium ti ball cage for it. Still ...

Re: Bodacious lightweight salt

Love the Bodacious. Re-skinned my Spy27 in Rockscale titanium. Magnacut, Magnamax, S90V or S110V would all be instant buys for me.

Re: Why CPM 3V

I have a couple of LT Wright 3V blades which have been outdoor workhorses for me. I'd be on board for a Spydie in 3V. Give it a 90 degree spine like LT does. Throws a helluva spark from a ferro rod.

What's next for the Bodacious?

I finally picked up a Bodacious when the Spy27 release hit the market. I had been waiting for something other than S30V. It's not that i have a problem with S30V, it's just that I have so darn much of it. I liked the color on the smooth G10 scales but decided to re-skin it with Rockscale Design TI ...

Orange you glad you got that off your chest? I want orange too. Make it the same orange as the 79mm Rescue. Perfection.

Re: Is the Wharncliffe a good blade for a first serrated edge?

That Salt 2 Wharnie in LC200n SE cuts way above it's weight class. I just ordered a Harpey SE. Couldn't resist a stainless VG-10 SE hawkbill.

Re: Where the Heck Are the Lil' Native Lightweights?

Hmmm... I've seen it listed on 2 sites at 3.4mm. They must have just listed it at the same thickness as the standard backlock. Glad they're just lazy. Thanks for the correction.

Worksharp RMX Drop Point with the integral frame. I hear good things about it and I'm looking forward to getting it in hand.

Should get the Ka-Bar Dozier Hunter Lockback (blacked out) in S35 today as well. If you haven't got one of these little gems in D2, and/or now S35 as well, then you're ...
