3 tests; Average = 59.7

This is typical. Old and new VG-10 the same.

I appreciate you checking. I guess VG10 isn’t the slouch YouTube says it is

Thanks! I’ve been really surprised with the VG10 on my Delica I bought last year. No chips or rolls and the retention has been really good. Interesting you'd say that: I always have the feeling that "new" VG10 (so on my newer Seki Spydies) holds an edge longer than "old" VG10. C...

Anyone know what the latest delicas have for Rockwell on the VG10? Just curious

Another day another Delica

I’m usually not a fan of coated blades because I use my knives for food prep a lot but I might give this one a shot at some point. I like the black peel ply scales

Maybe. I would still be wary of Amazon. I don’t order much of anything from them these days. Especially knives. Too many scammers

https://i.postimg.cc/SKqyfQkV/IMG-8577.jpg Been carrying the UKPK lately. Great knife for lightweight daily stuff. The lock is strong yet easy to close one handed. Great blade for cutting fruit. The wire clip is great and while I’m not normally a fan of finger choils, this one is large and roomy. I...

This thread reminds me of this:

I think the Delica is a great next choice. It’s my most carried knife. You could try a paramilitary 2 next. Been one of Spyderco’s best selling models for awhile.

Sweet and slicey

If they made a Caly 3 salt in G10 and LC200N

I’ve never ventured into the high carbide steels. I might do K390 but that’s it. H2 would be plenty tough for my needs for outdoor stuff I think. Or LC200N

I’d much rather have toughness than edge retention personally. A rolled edge is annoying but easier for a beginner sharpener to fix than a chip It's not only easier for a beginner to fix a roll than a chip, this is true in almost all cases. In general, if you don't mind using very heavy duty edge g...

I’d vote the Delica or Endura.

Love seeing this little knife. Been trying to find a serrated one for a bit. Would be a nice lake knife
