Re: Breaking down boxes with Chaparral
Is the grey XHP Chap lightweight discontinued or something? I can’t seem to find it in stock at my go to shops.

Re: CTS BD1N edge retention
BD1N has incredible edge retention for what it is. I find that it performs almost as well as s30v. That’s no exaggeration. All that performance yet it’s very quick to sharpen. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite steels. If I’m not carrying something like k390 or some other high carbide super p...

Re: 2020 reveal predictions?
I think we will see a Delica and Endura in K390. We can only hope. Let’s pray they are regular production also so that we will actually be able to purchase and use them. I’m growing weary of the stress and rat race of the sprint and exclusive game. Knife buying should be an enjoyable experience, no...

Re: What is your Last Spydie of the year before price hikes in 2020?
Was just looking at the kapara at DLT today and was going to snag it. It was 181 if I remember correctly.
Tonight I go back to purchase and it’s now just over 200. Wonder if that is one that got the price increase?

Re: CTS BD1N edge retention
The burr seems to not want to come off on one side. The burr not coming off one one side is simply a sharpening issue. I am almost certain that even if the edge looks even, it is slightly moved to one side. So on one side you’re sharpening and you’re actually hitting the apex, forming a burr on the...

Re: CTS BD1N edge retention
Interesting. I have been very, very impressed with BD1N. Seems to hold an edge significantly longer than VG10 and sharpens just as quickly. I love this.
Hands down the best “budget” steel out right now.

Re: Maintenance Log
Interesting pics. But I have to say: Don´t know why this is, but I almost never have to "maintain" / disassemble my folders. I definitely use my knives, and not only in "light duty" tasks, carry them in less then ideal wet, muddy,... conditions, but they just never seem to rust ...

Re: Merry Christmas! Paramilitary II in Maxamet dropping all over the place
Man. This is bad timing for me.
Been waiting on these for months and now it comes in stock....right when I shouldn’t spend money. We sort of over extended to make this Christmas huge for the kids. Well worth it, but sucks that I will likely miss it again.

Re: CBN and S90V
For those of you who've gone CBN, would you recommend a newcomer pick those up in addition to, or instead of, the Diamond rods for sharpening harder steels? I am really not a master sharpener at all, so keep that in mind please when reading my reply!: Never had the diamond rods, so I can´t compare,...

Re: TNP Blue Dragonfly C28PBBL2
Clearly a DLC blade with a blue handle is on of the more popular color combinations. I wish Spyderco would make this color combination more accessible in regular production models like the Dragonfly, Paramilitary 2, Delica etc. Me too. I’d buy the whole Seki lineup in multiples if it came out in a ...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch
Support the base model if you want sprints and exclusives. Same with all the people crying for a shaman.. buy the base model to support further variations. Well, this isn’t a base model. There is no base model straight spine stretch. This is a sprint, and I actually said I *was* waiting on a base m...

Re: Native 5 with Compression Lock please!
If you dig through Sal's posts, I'm pretty sure he's indicated that variants of handle colors, blade steels, and even blade grinds are a possibility with the Sage 5 FRN LW. I get the impression that even though the Sage series is about showcasing locks, the Sage 5 FRN LW may get spun off into its o...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch
So I am carrying my straight spine Stretch exclusively through the end of the year to really find out if I like the design better than my old SB Stretch 1. I sold that Stretch because I just wasn't carrying it much. And I wasn't carrying it much for a variety of reasons. Thus far, the Straight Spin...
