S45VN is a steel that was developed by one of their metallurgists (Frank) as an improvement to S35VN. More incremental than revolutionary, but it did test well and we're working with it. sal This is from the thread by Larrin on S45VN. You just beat me to the punch, Doc Dan! I was just now coming he...

So improved corrosion resistance, and toughness and edge retention in between s30v and s35vn. But what I find interesting is the higher possible working hardness. Run it around 63 and it may be worth the fuss, no? You're right there, Baron Mind. And an important point you make too, about the hardne...

And the Manix 2, should be put next in line!

I want to see

S390
Hap72
CPM T15
O7

CPM Rex T15, S390 Microclean, and HAP 72. Are definitely on my shortlist as well, bearfacedkiller!
Fantastic choices.

Vanax S45VN Vanadis 8 Vancrom SC Rex121 Rex M42 (Crucible) // Micro Melt M42 (Carpenter) I'll bite on your post! :D I'm sure liking your list here too, archangel. Some fantastic choices there! I am about 3/4 of the way through my busiest time of the year right now. So my dabbling in knife making, i...

Hi Rick. It really is a great knife! Marianne will keep you up to date, via email. On when to expect your number to come up. I got one of the first ones, and thought it was very well made. Though after handling it for a few minutes. I realized that it was just going to be too small for me. So I set ...

Hi Bloke.
That's a fantastic gift!
Does it have a stainless steel mesh basket, that can hang in the interior?

I noticed that too! Although in her defense she might have reached the depth of her pocket. Women's jeans have tiny pockets compared to men's jeans. I'm sure you're probably right. I didn't think of that. This is the biggest knife, in this group shot. I also didn't know, just how deep my men's jean...

All I can say is : bummer ! You ruined this cool design... at least for me :( P.S I allways thought this entire Efficient family deserves a better steel and now this ! It may make you feel better to know? That mine arrived weighing 5.15oz. :D I'm sure that someone, at some point. Will end-up offeri...

Yes, that's it Ez556. :D

I would also like to poke just a little bit of fun, at Spyderco. Of a picture taken for the newsletter. Of this knife, and a couple of others, in the pocket. Do you notice, what made me smile? :D https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/NkdKkTCfjTaHXX8BqMzXzAu631z1h42dNowhKoX87cT_BDU4hBSHuC867UY7C0cfgjEO0N...

This will have to do us, for now. While we wait for ours to arrive, and get some pictures taken of those. :D

The Spyderco Emphasis is available now! In both plain edge (C245GP), and partially serrated (C245GPS). Of course you already know this, if you are subscribed to the Spyderco Byte Newsletter. :D Stock is at many of your favorite Dealers now. Some, are even sold out of the plain edge version already! ...

https://i.imgur.com/6xmKip6.jpg Hey Darby, what's the thickness behind the edge on yours ? Thanks Hi elena86. There is a BTE thread here. Titled - Behind the edge database! Usually when a new knife is released, someone will add it to the ongoing list there. :) Spyderco Shaman Cruwear/Micarta C229MP...

I am all in, for some Rex 45 in a Manix 2! Of course I have burnt orange in my head as well. :D That's perfectly fine. This recent Micarta, would also be wonderful. I also feel some K390 should be coming our way, in a Manix 2. Gotta be, right? I bought all of the earlier Rex 45 knives, just for the ...

Have any of y'all --who have one of these-- oiled the micarta yet? If so, curious how much it darkens. Thanks. A guy posted a pic on the Facebook page and said he oiled it, it's a pretty drastic change. It's like a dark peanut butter. I rather like the light color and soft feel of it dry. I'm looki...

Has there been any word of DLT releasing another run of the red G-10 20CV Manix 2? I thought I remembered mention of it soon after the original release, but it doesn't seem likely with all the new releases coming out these days. I remember reading DLT saying that too, last year. And, it does take a...

I would also love to see more of this exact Micarta.
On the Manix 2 would be wonderful, but it's already had the Cruwear treatment. How about having this scale material on a Manix 2 in K390, or Rex 45? The Manix 2 is still owed that steel treatment. :cool:

I forgot to post this last week.
