Uralpilot, you don’t like liner locks and arthritis makes fine manipulation difficult. If I have that right, may I suggest the Stretch model? The mid-back lock is easy to unlock and the blade has a strong closing bias, so it won’t open in your pocket, nor will it fail to close fully when you close i...

I bet they are fantastic cutters. Yes they are. For me it was worth the effort. Others will feel differently. I was at a work party lunch at church and a tomato was produced without a competent blade to cut it. I opened my SE Endela and the electrician scoffed… until he tried it. Made a convert tha...

So, is the ball ceramic on the Manix LW Salt? It makes sense if it is, from a corrosion standpoint.

Hey Marius, Thanx for the thread. Don't how I missed it back then, but I'm on it now. Great discussion. Hi Riclaw, Thanx for bumping it up. I'm with David in that I would like all of the serrations ground the same, but that's been much harder to do that one would think, because of the way serration...

Chapstick seems to hold up well. I think it’s a blend of wax and petroleum jelly.

H-1 and LC200N and VG-10 were half or less the effort as K390. In fact, I reprofiled a saber-ground VG-10 SE Endura in less time than my FFG K390 Endura took me, and that was removing much more steel to reach 15 degrees. The scallops on my K390 Endura look much closer to how they looked when new as ...

I prefer the standard FFG VG-10 with a colorful FRN grip, currently have a green one. It’s plain, yet it functions as my gent’s knife. With clip removed it disappears in my dress pants, but ready for action if some matter needs separating.

I'm sure your right. It probably takes hours?

3-4 hours for the K390 Endura on the CBN rods.

I only see its value as ‘hey that’s a fun experiment’ but that’s it. I don’t think it should create “legitimate” content. And I believe it shouldn’t be intended to be “impressive” either. I suppose it’s impressive of the people who designed and engineered the technology. But what content the “a.i” ...

So my question s; why AI? What is the advantage other than saving some money for some companies? Time for a thread on predicting the future of the knife industry 20 years from now? sal Future of the knife industry ;) https://imgur.com/qrNM3Qfl.jpg how do you put a nail nick on a lightsaber? Very ca...

It is Cruwear, an excellent user steel. I’d just use it and relax in the knowledge that it’s not perfect and new anymore, which frees the mind to simply enjoy using the thing as the tool it is.

You should offer this as a service. I would be thrilled with the performance, but lack the patience, and time.

Very few people would want to afford this service!

Spyderco also highlighted the new pivot on their social media pages recently. https://i.imgur.com/ZiL0J1u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iiDnEX5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Khueacj.jpg https://www.instagram.com/p/C3yTxpBLYC7/?igsh=MWduMndlcm9leWtpcQ== I like it, I think it looks cool. I like it, too. Very han...

I’m a knut who reprofiles his Spyderedges to 15 degrees soon after getting them. (K390 is not for the faint of heart!) The performance gain is worth it for me and in my uses they haven’t taken much damage. I always have the option to micro bevel at 20 degrees if the edge proves too fragile. One bene...

Swidgen,

I concur that your Delica appears to have rusted after cutting something. The ricasso behind the plunge appears unaffected. Some Bar Keeper’s Friend should fix you right up.

I’ve used my s110v military since they came out, in fact i carried it for two years straight everyday and used for everything I can use a knife for and never had any chipping issues. To me it just performs like a hopped up s30v with crazy edge retention and awesome corrosion resistance. I would rec...

Welcome, Dep. Come for the knives, stay for the knowledge and fellowship.

I bought a Recon 1 XL about 6 years ago and toyed with the idea of adding an opening hole because I dislike thumb studs, but ended up gifting it to a friend who loves knives. It was larger than I really wanted to carry and I realized I’d never use it, but it was a good knife. Are the current Cold S...

The self rounding seems to occour only if the starting DPS is higher than the final DPS while reprofiling. On my UKPK the original DPS was under 15° and I did not get rounder points, maybe even the opposide. First I thought, I did something wrong, but EvilD got the same effect on one of his SE kniv...
