A stupid question, does it have to fold?
If no, you can go DIY route and make one/ ask a friend to make one. You don't need any alloyed steel, some piece of steel for welding is good. Throw some slab of it and call it a trainer.

Balance of the knife is a tough to predict. But if you use a normal stock thickness like 3 mm it would not it be as bad. I really don't think you need more then 3 mm stock....Even more so in this case, when you don't have true FFG grind.

Great idea!!
I personally specifically in the Shaman would keep the choil as it is, but lengthen the blade as a whole a bit, so there is a tad more actual edge.

Like this?

My main problem is the front finger choil. In fixed blade I see that just as a wasted cutting edge (in folder I dont mind them, because they fold). I know folders users like to use choils, but with a good design you dont need it. https://i.imgur.com/G9NB7Dv.jpg Well now I dont know....this looks kin...

Does anyone have experience with Spyderedge and 8cr13mov? I am thinking about Tenacius LW in full Spyderedge.....it could be a good low price model for me to experience what the Spyderedge is all about.

Well, no Military with a Stop lock, that is sad
I never had a sprint run and the Shaman and also the Stretch looks very nice......but I really should not buy another knife this year....

Damm, talk about hype about a specific model and steel combo.
Gone in less a minute? Yeah. Its funny because some sprint runs or exlusive are in stock for a year and seems like noone care.

BUT, take a popular model, give it 3V, 4V, Cru-Wear + DLC + some nice scales and you have profit guaranteed.

Now WHAT knife could that be?? :p :p

I dont know, maybe this one?

Some days ago I disassemble my Chief and there was some very minor corrosion on the backspacer. And that is linerless G10 and my screws are locktited..... Corrosion is a bit weird. Last year I made an experiment with my students and we had nails in different environments. The biggest surprised was a...

Maxamet is always the answer. It's science.

4 inches of Maxamet? Oh yeah

Pro tip number 1: Dont pry with your tip :D

No thank you.
Chief need steel that is more towards pure edge retention such as 10V, S110V.
This is high efficiency slicer, I think it would benefit more from 10V then some tough steel.

The Straight Spine Stretch looks awesome and I’m even more excited for the Khaki FRN!! One of my favorite colors they’ve done! I love how the Tenacious looks with the Bidirectional texturing FRN too! That Stretch...............I mean dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm son. This is more or less back-lock ...

This sum my thoughts. http://m.quickmeme.com/img/04/046657ede3154549514cc754684cdd013f51e7c5ffee9a90fc5cab6ef1d1b1ab.jpg I dont really like detent based locks, but this piece in FRN.....hmmm.....Maybe I will buy it. I wonder what the base colour will be....I hope for something else then black....may...

Hey Vivi.
Did Spyderco contact you and offered you a job as a ,,rust-tester“? I think you would be a great candidate for this job. You will get a knife and you will try to rust it during summer :D

That is some nasty rust! My Police 4 will hopefuly show up next week, so maybe I take some it apart right away and polish the liners a bit with some 500 and 1000 grit sandpaper. Maybe a even a light coat of some oil or way would help......I made some coconut-beeswax paste for wood so maybe I try tha...

I ordered Police 4. And I blaime Vivi for that!

He was a good knife

Just to remind, Lamnia has 10th year anniversary and they have -10% on everything.

Today morning I was on a walk with my dog and I found some mushrooms . And no, I did not pick that Amanita muscaria . https://i.imgur.com/g0cfpL3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nYWmCI1.jpg Later I did some sharpening and I get rid of that unsharpened spot. Yes, I am a madman but it really drove me crazy. T...
