Spyderco Forums

Alex,

My friend is looking for one. Let me check if he’s interested. Shipping from Oz here should be cheaper than US here :p

Before believing this I would like to see some video of these discrepancies. neither of my CQI Chefs have exhibited this, granted one is a back up and the other gets used allot. Video can be easily uploaded to IMGR and shared here. I have purchased several knives that come from that factory and the...

I’m interested in the Green Endura that the item name doesn’t contain ZDP but the description is ZDP. At 120$, would it be true? I’m asking friend to order when in US but will only know when it’s brought back here (he’s non knife person). Will Walmart make it right if there’s problem? Any counterfei...

Was there ever an official reply to the "scribble" issue with the Seki imprint on the Delicas?

I don’t recall any, but my Endura superblue has it too. Quite strange :confused:

I’m so excited-
The prospect of not having to work full time and getting more time at home with my growing family!
Really makes grinding it out so hard worth it

Congratulations and indeed it’s a good feeling!

In my area, Tramontina makes set of 6 with wooden handle. Knowing their machete is reliable, I think their steak knives can’t be that bad. Haven’t bought any, but that’s because I use my pocket knives for many things and Victorinox in the kitchen. Edit: just re-read, you want PE. The Tramontina is S...

Don’t forget they are making the Voyagers in AUS10.

Pharmagator has it: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/spydercos-come-and-spydercos-go.1636852/page-2 That's about what my collection looked like a decade ago. Ended up selling off everything besides a PE Pacific Salt, SE Tasman, Police 3 and Aqua Salt. Only one I regret letting go of is my C95 Ma...

Now how similar or different XHP with BD1N? :D

I like my XHP (CS Broken Skull, economical way to try the steel, ergos is so so though).

It seems the heel is sharpened at wider angle than the rest. Often happens on the show side on many knives (not only Spyderco). I am guessing it’s because of using belt system, when doing show side it is likely held by left hand and the person is right handed.

Did they rip off the Spydie hole here? Not a fan of Benchmade

Deacon has strong opinion about that. http://paulberetta.com/

Agree...

Something to note though, the green Scotch-brite can easily dull a sharp edge if you are not careful. The proper technique is “edge trailing sponging”

Definitely. It removes metal, so it’s going to dull them.

Carrying 6 knives is perfectly normal :D

I say just enough

Green scrubbing/scouring pad (not the sponge) contains Chromium Oxide, which is same as the green polishing compound. It will scratch with enough pressure, especially when new. They even make polishing wheel from same material. http://www.op-insight.co.uk/images/product/extraLarge/RY61001.jpg For st...

Nah, I don't polish my knives. I've given some of them a rougher finish in fact. https://i.imgur.com/Fgh8yxO.jpg I'd recommend sandpaper for polishing, it will take less time. But, the more polished your knife, the easier it is for scratches to show up, so it's a bit counter intuitive in my opinion...

Happy birthday!! :cool:

Any tips for how to hold the knife and the stone? I'm having difficulty hitting the Apex every stroke, and sharpening away from me, I can't see the bevel I met a fellow many years back who sharpened with the stone inclined to the required angle (per side) on a home made Sine Bar setup sitting on a ...

Any tips for how to hold the knife and the stone? I'm having difficulty hitting the Apex every stroke, and sharpening away from me, I can't see the bevel Looking forward to seeing an answer to this one. I can make one edge look amazing because I'm pulling the knife towards me, but the side that fac...

I’m too lazy to type long, Vivi has shared some insights ;). When technique improves, the parameters change, so something that didn’t work could change to become key factor. The subforum where these are posted is great resource too, even with the debate on raising burr or not (not on these threads):...
