Re: Sharpening for kitchen use
As a Ex-butcher. That still has all my dads stuff and mine. 1) steels are all good as SAL explained above. 2) You should use straight dishwashing liquid withe the stones for best effect. Rinse with water after 3) If the stones are old like my dad’s, they are good stones and worth keeping. If they ha...

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 Cru-Wear vs Gayle Bradley 2 M4
Have the GB1 but would pick the GB2 in M4 of the two. The old M4 is hard to sharpen myth still gets banged around, but compared to several newer steels it’s a breeze. M4 wins on edge retention over Cruwear. But either steels is a winner in a GB2 it’s is basically what you prefer. Zwear GB2 would tak...

Re: Mystery Box
Got my $250 box, not the Shaman I was crossing my fingers for but very happy. The cheap Uptern is surprisingly a neat little knife. The Manix will be an immediate user to test SPY27. The PM3 I am not sure what I will do with, already have two PM3s and it seems almost too nice to use. Thanks for the...

Re: Is there a reference table for all the models?
Pretty much you can search google and get a YouTube video and pictures on any 2 or 3 models.
Police v Endura etc…
Last time I wanted a quick reference for two models there was 10+ videos on the topic, some 17 minutes long

Re: Mystery Box
Spyderco makes a lot more knives I don't like than knives I do like, so buying a mystery box was never even a consideration for me. I do think it was a bit misleading on Spyderco's part to say the $400 boxes would contain a premium knife when the majority of the $400 boxes I've seen posted do not c...

Think people are expecting Mystery boxes to be magical boxes.
Basically $400 worth of seconds knives.

Re: New Steel Testing Method! My wife and the cupboard.
Not a better test than to give a knife to a non knife person. Sharpen a knife everytime that was new many years ago, for a fella at work. The condition this guy gives it to me everytime it needs a sharpening. :woozy (Good kid but he is “passed the teaching to sharpen threshold” as he has the attenti...

Re: Mule Team Sheath Help
Try a local knifemaker who can make a kydex sheath. Or just look for someone that works in kydex.

Not a Spyderco but one I got recently

Re: Grinding on the Hardened Steel of Mules
That's years of experience packed into a few sentences and I'm very grateful. Man, you've managed to put words on a feeling I've always had when talking with Chad ! I can't say how grateful I am for every bit of knowledge he kindly shared with me, and everyone else here. Thank you both, sincerely. ...
