Comment deleted as it had nothing to do with the topic of the thread. Dammit.

I think it is time for a group-hug.

Hardness range is the same for XHP and S30V.

OK great, thanks for that :)

Thanks @mil too for your reply.

Could someone answer this question please.

How does XHP hold an edge longer than S30v?

Is it due to hardness?

It's just that in the Spyderco steel chart, S30v seems to have better ingredients (elements) than XHP, to a novice like myself.

WOW, there's some lovely variation in the scales so far. This one is getting harder and harder to resist the more pictures I see.

Caly 3.5 cf & Caly 3 cf damascus. Just what the doctor ordered.
The amount of new must have spydies coming out this year is getting ridiculous.
But in a good way.

Im so pleased after seeing those pictures and the 50% comment. This knife has grown on me more than any other(spydie). Probably because I wasnt sure about it in the first place. But the quality,lightness and the smoothness has really impressed me. I really do love this knife more and more as time pa...

Thanks guys much appreciated. :D :) :D

Where the blade meets the lock the piece of steel at the bottom of the blade is sloped causing the lock to stop half way. Sorry if I am repeating myself but is this still normal.thanks.

Thanks very much you have just made my day as I love the knife. :) :)

Hi this is my first ever post.
The frame lock on my chokwe does not sit flush with the blade when locked open. It stops about half way (overlaps) instead of lining up flush with the blade. Is this normal or should it line up pefectly? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
