Double trouble :D

Looking good, looks like that steel takes to polishing very nicely. A question when you share that you used Venev diamonds 400 followed by 1200 are these bench stones or the ones sold by Gritomaric for the Hapstone 7. Pretty sure you free handed this but not certain. Thanks. Thanks! Yes freehand wi...

I was having issues with the edge rolling on my AEB-L Urban after I dropped the bevel angle so I added a microbevel but still wasn't happy with the way edge held up. I then decided to try adding a little convex to see if it helped...so far it's looking good. No rolling and still super charp. Sharpen...

I felt the same way...seemed like an odd shape to be practical in normal day to day use but WOW is it a great utility knife!

I'd like to find one with teeth too. For now though I'm extremely pleased with the the way the PE version has been working.

How about a Salt version? :D

You're all wrong :p The most superior Delica is the lil Matriarch. ;) IMHO this is the best length and shape for an EDC reverse S blade. It has just enough hook at the tip to puncture or pierce with the belly shallow enough and far enough back not to interfere with the tip like on the Cricket. I bou...

I believe JDW mentioned Arizona Custom Knives earlier, and if I'm not mistaken they DO have SE matriarchs.

We're looking for the lil Matriarch. The last and only lil Matriarch ACK has listed on their site was sold in 2015.

Did anyone here manage to grab the SE lil Matriarch from Knives Plus this morning?

Which one of y’all snagged the SE lil matriarch?!

I thought it was you... lol

Tons of discontinued Spydercos available at KnivesPlus right now... apparently the owner is liquidating a lot of their collection. https://www.knivesplus.com/discontinued-old-new-stock-knives-knives-plus-collection-ss2.html Darn! And it looks like someone beat me to the SE lil matriarch. Hopefully ...

Despite all theories S30V does not require Diamonds far from it. In fact I am now a great lover of S30V until now I lacked tools and education. I agree that S30V is not exactly considered high vanadium, and is rather easy to sharpen. Honestly if you don't plan to sharpen what I would consider extre...

It’s no secret I’m on the hawkbill kick. I may just have to get the matriarch 2 in SE. although I’d love this size in SE because I really enjoy the Tasman 2. The Matriarch 2 even though a Reverse S has a different shape and is much more aggressive and defense oriented. I don't have a Matriarch 2 bu...
