I really want a knife with better edge holding than the older 440C I have. How does H1 compare in that respect? Is it as good at holding an edge as VG10 or S30V? I always thought of the H1 blades as perfect around salt water. I have used 440C for salt water fishing and never had a problem with rust....

Spyderco Folder for freshwater fishing
Which folder do you think would do the best job in freshwater fishing for smaller fish, including panfish, smallmouth or even largemouth bass? I wouldn't want a folder larger than 5" closed, and I am not sure if I want ZDP-189 or VG10. I suspect that VG10 would be a better choice. I want edge h...

For me, once a pocket knife won't fit in your pocket, I'd just as soon use a fixed blade. I can't see using a folder for chopping or heavy duty work outdoors. I'd like a Catcherman, but without any partial serrations. In fact, I'd really like an upsized Rookie, but with a blade about 4 1/4 or 4 1/2&...

I made a double-sided strop using Hand American leather. On one side, I use 1200 grit Clover Compound - it is a silicon carbide powder in grease. On the other side, I use Norton diamond paste - .5 micron, if I recall correctly. I have used Lee Valley green compound in the past. It works fine and is ...

Argentine Lignum Vitae
That looks a lot like Argentine Lignum Vitae. It is hard, but easy to work with sharp tools. It does make you light headed if you sand it and don't wear a respirator. The stuff is heavy and strong, and one of the toughest woods out there.

Kopa or Walker
You can still find the Kopa, with a blade about the same size (perhaps 1/6" shorter) as the Leafstorm. Another option in a Spyderco is the Michael Walker liner-lock. It is more knife than the Kopa, but not so big as to scare people. The blade is about 2 5/8" long.
