Re: Getting Full Value from Your Blade Length

Dear Wartstein: That's correct. They are also made in two different countries by two different makers using different sharpening methods. The angled shoulders present the challenge. Thicker blade stock makes that challenge even more difficult. I'm just trying to point out that there are a lot of dyn...

Re: Getting Full Value from Your Blade Length

Hey, All: Interesting topic. I am a big fan of full-length edges without sharpening choils; however, as a knife designer, I am also sensitive to the unique balance of the design itself and the sharpening methods of the factory. If you look closely at the OP's original post, you'll notice that most o...

Re: Sharpmaker Elite Edition

Dear mikestp:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Depending upon the condition of your edge, the abrasives you use, and the time you invest, the Sharpmaker can do much more.

Re: MicroJimbo?

Dear Ramzar: For the record, the 3.2-inch length on the Yojimbo 2 was a result of my designing the handle length to be comparable to that of a closed Delica. I have been back-pocket carrying knives for 50 years--since before Sal invented clip carry. If I am in an environment that frowns on visible c...

Re: MicroJimbo?

Thank you, Bolster, for sharping my post on the other thread here. The best I can do is explain my logic. If it suits your personal needs, great. If not, Spyderco has other knife options that likely will. For me the greatest MicroJimbo "win" happened a couple of days ago. I was walking thr...

Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?

Where is the index finger supposed to locate, on a MicroJimbo? At point A or B? I'm sure you could do either, but for which location was the MicroJimbo designed? How does Mr. Janich hold it for its intended purpose, index forward (A) or index back (B)? Dear Bolster: For my purposes, typically B. If...
