Hi Tucson Tom. Sorry for your disappointment. But as Yab said, there are likely other advantages. We made them to see what we all can learn. Gail and I played round with Ceramic knives as possible dive knife use 20+ years ago. We made a number of prototypes with a ceramic company in the US. So far w...

Hi TkoK83Spy,

I guess we'll see in time?

Hey Jason,

Interesting history. I would guess most folks here have an interesting history. Life is a "Long and winding road".

Hope Mike' gets well quickly.

I guess we're getting a bit off topic here?

But I still would like the chap in some high edge retention steel.

Hi Mat_ski,

That might come to pass with the FRN version. Do you have any particular steel in mind?

Thanx Shawn,

That's good to hear. How hard do you recommend for S60V? Do you have any special heat treat? Do you think it's worth making a run of S60V?

Hey Synov,

Thanx for the info. Combined with Shawn's comments, that makes sense.

Larrin sure is an asset.

Hi Synov, Very nice information. Thanx much for the effort and for sharing. I noticed that you list S60V was listed at Rc 58.5 going up to 61. This led me to think that this is pretty much a digital conclusion? Is there any real world testing and results to this. I have a fair amount of experience w...

Hi Acarlsson,

Welcome to our forum.

Hi Quantum, Welcome to our forum. Hi Kennbr, In addition to the comments above, there are a few things to add; When dealing with heat treating, most, if not all Heat treating requires a range that can be 3 or 4 degrees difference in the spread. eg: Rc 58 -61, which we have learned makes a big differ...

Sal, I hope that we got our misunderstandings corrected and that you had a great Easter, same to everyone else here. I'm just going to try to stick with explaining science to people who have questions and try not to be uhh. Dialectical. Jas Hi Jas, I should probably warn you that some of us believe...

Hi Joel,

Welcome to our forum.

I guess we'll see if he comes back and has the discussion? If he just posted to tell us that we are going to lose our Industry Leadership, then.............?

Hi Okay,

Welcome to our forum.

Hey Jesla,

Perhaps he should discuss the question here instead of emailing you? He asked a legitimate question, and you say he has legitimate reason. Though for him to assume that it makes a company bad for not giving that information indicated that more edge-u-cation was needed.

Hi Butler,

Welcome to our forum and thanx for your service.

Spyderco was the first company to experiment with these coatings. We coated a number of several models for testing. We are still coating knives, though the coatings have evolved.

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.

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.

Hey Steeltoes,

Appreciate the dedicaton.

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...

Thanx Steeltoes.

Hey Jas,

No problem. Kristi kept me in the loop. We're OK.

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 ...

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. ...
