I am actually going tomorrow to get either a K390 or LC200 Wharncliffe, someone help me pick the steel? Local shop has SE LC200 and PE K390
That’s actually a great pair to cover all your bases….so both! ;)

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

OK JD. I've got some good news, but....This maker is the original maker, but they are a small shop and cannot make the entire batch all at once. So they come in regular small batches each month. So patience will still be necessary. You didn't hear it from me. :shush sal He wore you down didn't he? ;)

Re: Endela or Straight Spine Stretch?

Stretch because I'm a finger choil guy. I honestly think that the knives fill the same niche for two different end users--'finger choil guy' and 'no choil buy'. I think both belong in the line up. The straight spine stretch in K390 is one of the finest back lock knives I've ever owned. For my hands...

Re: Endela or Straight Spine Stretch?

Don’t have a SS Stretch but I do have a Stretch 1 which I love. Between those two I still prefer my K390 Endela. Both have excellent handles, at least for me. As several have already said, get both, that way you’ll have a knife with a choil, and one without. You can be your own beta tester and repor...

Two things- this thread is great with the gifs and videos and my biggest fear kayaking would be a shark Yes yes, that was really my point above! A very nosey, curious, hungry, BIG, aggravated shark.

The perfect Manix 2….. Either 3V or 4V, uncoated, ~3mm thick. Lockback with the dent. Jimping on the thumb ramp and inside the index choil, but NONE on the handle liners! Foliage Green G-10 with chamfered edges. A large pivot (something like a Spartan Harsey) since the ball bearing lock isn’t in th...

If the K390 Endela were in G10 or contoured micarta scales it would be perfect.

Re: And sometimes they're perfect.

This one has surprised me, bought it at a gun show a couple of months ago from a vender who I’ve bought from several times before. One of those shows where I was empty handed except for a couple hundred rounds of 9mm. Literally walking out the door, thought I’d cruse by this vendor one more time bef...

Re: Suggestions for a non-flexible serrated kitchen knife

Shun aren't bad, and if you like them, great, but you can definitely get much more performance in the same price range. Oh I have no doubt you're right, I'm in no way a chef, just a pretty good cook for my wife and kids. Give me a brand that you would closely compare to that Shun model I just poste...

Re: What's your "dream" spyderco? What combo of design/materials would you love to see?

I'd like a matte OD Green Micarta Endela with Delta 3V blade. I'm going to update this to make it a Wharncliffe blade. I have really come to love the wharnie over the past 6 months of carrying Delica and Endura wharnies. So updating to "Matte OD Green Micarta Endela Wharnie with Delta 3V blade...
