Re: Taiwan earthquake and Spyderco…

I'm waiting for a response. I was in a earthquake in Taipei about 20 year ago. Buildings shaking, but noting came down. This one was quite strong.

Re: Get me excited about M398

Hey Steeltoes,

How do you collect the rainwater? Have you done any Ph testing on the rainwater? Ph testers are pretty cheap. I think i'll get s new Ph tester and start testing rainwater myself. I remember all of the "scares" about acid rain.

Re: Spyderco and hrc

Hi Clint, Welcome to our forum. I made the decision not to publish Rc decades ago, simply to avoid argument. There are many people that have their own opinion on Rc or limited understanding about how the hardness fits into the cutting edge puzzle. I believe much of that has been mentioned here. It's...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal

Hi Chinstrrap, Thank you for your service. The chemical difference between H1 and H2 is very minimal. Just made by a different foundry. We just felt it would be honest to let our users know what was going on, hence the new name. Please try to continue to keep us in this loop. I think we all need to ...

Re: Get me excited about M398

Hi Steeltoes, Thanx for sharing. great stuff. One of the beauties and real reward of others testing. If possible, some pics of the actual test would be great. As far as other companies go, probably best to just post Spyderco here on this forum. Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation. ...

Re: Neck Sheath for PM2???

Hi Bob, Yes, Safety is the concern for me. It is just my opinion, but I think that neck knives should be as light as possible and have the best possible sheath retention. Having an opened knife loose under my shirt is a scary situation. We don't make very many neck knives. My Swick design is offered...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal

Hi Chinstrap,

We'll gladly replace your knife so we can test it. Yours is the first complaint of its type.

Edit; I lied, In speaking with R&D, it seems like there was one other case similar. Might be contamination by the serration wheel? It's being investigated.

"Back in the day" when the Eugene Knife show used to have a cutting competition, I had an opportunity to work with Ed Schempp on his Cutting Competition knife. Ed let me get a loupe on his edge before the contest, which he won, and again after the contest, which showed no difference. His f...

Wouldn't be without it. sal Sal, may I ask: Any specific reasons why you switched from wharnie to leaf shape with the serrated one? (As far as I know the wharnie Manbug can be had with teeth too...

Hi Bolster,

Real World testing and forums as an alternate?
