Re: Province edge angle

Why a convex edge? How will this improve the knife?

Let us know what you think. :)

Cant wait to play with this one. I will probably pick up a thermoplastic sheath for it.

This beauty is literally razor sharp from the factory. The final product turned out extremely top tier.

You must be happy.

Spyderco Province FB45GP

This knife hits all the right buttons for me. It falls in line with what I feel a fixed blade you are going to use should feel like. Excellent balance. Handle feels great. This knife just screams use me and I will. It is a big knife. I am excited. Cant wait to check out the steel. I will check back ...

Re: Just ordered some Nano Oil *cough snake oil cough*

Make your own oil.

Half motor oil, half ATF.

1/3 Motor oil, 1/3 ATF, 1/3 Marvels Mystery oil.

Go crazy and use synthetic for your blends.

Save thousands on oil....LOL

Re: The Never Ending Appeal Of The Old School Spyders

I love my old Spyders. I have a few classics around that I would keep forever.

I also love the new stuff. Like SurfGringo said Spyderco has been hitting them out of the park lately.

Re: How often do your preferences change?

I like to try out new folders. Yet, the Paramilitary seems to always end up back in my pocket. I also tend to carry the Pacific salt a lot. Those 2 folders seem to be my most carried for years now. I gave my Pacific salt to my son last summer when he was working for a rafting company, so really most...

Re: Some issues with my new Yojimbo 2 sprints

I love the slick handle of the 20CV version. It keeps my pockets from getting ruined. I have to say it is one of the finest production knives I have ever owned. Just a slick piece of hardware!

Re: Vintage Military

My 2 screw landed this morning. A couple of hours of cleaning and getting the corrosion off and she came out very good. I completely disassembled the knife. I had to use naval jelly to get some rust off. I think the knife was just neglected as it appears to have the factory edge and it is razor shar...

Re: Vintage Military

I am always on the look out for old Military's. This is one model that has really stood the test of time. I have been on the look out for a 2 screw clip model for literally years and always seem to miss them. I am always a day late and a dollar short. Until this week, when I found a used one for pre...

Re: Respect Bowie short feedback

Back to the original thread...

I got my Respect today and what a fantastic piece. It just checks all the right boxes. The size is perfect. It feels perfect in the hand.

Amazing craftsmanship!

Sheath is a perfect match.

All in all this blade gets a 10 out of 10 on my BladeOmeter!

Re: You're So Jaded...

I know the feeling. In 2005 when I first started hitting the knife forums I was out of control in a good way. It was fun. I am still a knife guy and still enjoy a good thread, but mostly I feel like I have been there done that. So many threads are the same. I think I have seen the same thread only s...

Re: What Could Profoundly Improve The 204 Sharpmaker?

I think the Sharpmaker is perfect because of its simplicity.

The idea of making it adjustable angle is intriguing, but I think that should be a different model and keep the sharp maker the way it is.

I also would like a coarser stone.

Re: Respect Bowie short feedback

I picked one up and it should be here this week.

This knife really spoke to me. Just the old school aesthetic. Once I saw the sheath, I was so sold. Love the tuck in the waistband sheath. Plus I am a fixed blade Junkie. I consider fixed blades real knives and folders not so much.
