What's the opposite? Soft steels get gummy and don't like to get crispy. People used to complain about buck when they used 440c, but I guess they were trying to sharpen it with Arkansas stones. ZDP189 and S110V also had bad reputations, though again, not sure if it was people using the wrong abrasiv...

Does knivesshipfree have something that works?

Grometts Leather craft on Etsy has a few options

What is the trick to not blunting your tips on a stone when free hand sharpening. I know you're supposed to lift your elbow to follow the curve, but I think I'm going too far, as I see the scratch pattern at the tip only goes up half way. I can't really get a feel for it. My PM2 and my Native have ...

Just realized, we never got a Maxamet shaman - so 15v will be the closest we get

I'm just glad DLT has made sure everyone who wants one gets one. The black and purple being such lookers is just the icing on the cake

Big and heavy will be the number 1 complaint. Pocket hog and the jumping being excessive too. More of a use for extended periods of time kind of knife

You sure it's not the tang that the lock bar rides on?

Totally understand. Kinda why I wish certain steels were available without sprint/exclusive chasing. Availability is definitely much better now than years past. They're supposed to be tools (though I am guilty of buying a used snap on ratchet because I didn't want to be the one to put the first scra...

You European dudes get em yet?

How is the color match with the other mint blade HQ exclusives?

It's most commonly used in Japanese kitchen knives. Takes a screaming sharp edge easily, rusts easily, but takes a nice patina.

Too many cool exclusives dropping and available at the same time! How to pick and choose?! Glad to see the G10 native getting some love. I wonder if the knife joker will be doing a green one

The Mordax looks cool, but not sure how comfortable that choil is

Can't tell if the bigger batches are out yet or not. Seems to be going much quicker compared to the manix.

Or...we can get some new ground up models in that size?

Nicer fit and finish for their Chinese models (Byrd line included) - I mean check out a civivi next to a Byrd and one feels substantially better Spyderco started out as a sharpening company - would like to see some resin/metallic bonded stones. Would also like to see some more options for the sharp ...

There's got to be Chinese high speed steels and tool steels, right? I'll gladly take that if available!

It's funny to me how things get popular and people start calling it hype before they themselves have even tried it, and after some extremely reputable people have already chimed in with their assessment of it, as if it doesn't work for them that just means it was just hype and all those people were...
