Re: Would you buy a Stretch XL Salt?

If it comes on PB washers and SE Magnacut, then maybe.

Re: A review of the SE and PE Magnacut blades and how Spy27 measures up

I also agree with his conclusions. And his photography is amazing.

What's keeping me from the Delicas other than the looks, is the handle ergos, the relatively hard disassembly/reassembly and the hump. But I entertain the idea of picking up a High Performance Delica in the future.

Re: Browsing through the product guide: The two middle ground models that are still missing imo

Small means 3", mid means 3.5" and large means 4" IME. But on this forum maybe it's better to use numbers, such as the 3.5" Native and save a lot of time by doing so.

A MagnaCut blade from a LW Native found its way into these CF scales.

Re: Getting Full Value from Your Blade Length

One of the advantages of a longer edge is that it needs to be sharpened less often than a shorter one, all things being equal. The wear and tear spreads out over a lengthier edge. In some situations, like when we don't have a sharpener on us, this can be important. Re sharpening choil - I never miss...

Re: Handle Scale Vendors

They look awesome. Thinking of a LW Native set. How does it feels in the hand?

Re: OG Military Replacement

My customized and microconvexed S110V is my user and my S90V (blue G10 Bento Box) is my backup. No issues with S110V whatsoever. Having a feeling the model will be disco'd sometime in the future, I think I need at least one more. So, while I know tacticool is not my style and while I stopped buying ...

Got myself a second GB1 to keep the first one pristine.
I never did that for any model, but I think this one deserves it.

Yes, they are exceptional :bug-white-red . After the Cruwear GB2 I hope they will be back some day.

Re: What are your top 5 Spydercos?

From the standard catalog I presume. No sprints, no exclusives. Sorted by size: OG Millie S110V. Stretch 2 XL G10 Cruwear or the Native Chief in S30V? Hmm, I think I will go with the Stretch for now. GB2. The poor man's Sebenza. S90V Fluted CF Native. Just did a Magnacut blade swap. But the Maxamet ...

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 Cru-Wear vs Gayle Bradley 2 M4

All things being equal, I would prefer CW, but I'm already very happy with the M4 version with aftermarket scales. And I just bought a Stretch 2 XL in CW, still in the honeymoon phase. :-)
