Re: What was the last knife you carried before buying your first Spyderco?

Carried it for three years until I decided to try a Delica, because it was a pocket knife that featured the same VG10 steel, I'd been digging in my Japanese kitchen knives. One of my tongue-in-cheek quick tests for a folding knife is still: 'is it better than an Opine...

Re: What is your favorite spyderco?
HAP40 Stretch.
Although the PM2 might be the most carried.
And the Dragonfly would win if all the different variants carry time was added together...

Re: Exotic Japanese steels
[/quote] I guess when I compare the two steels I am only comparing 3 things. 1. Ease of sharpening. 2. Ability to take a very high level of sharpness. 3. Edge retention. I find the two steels are fairly similar in 1 & 2 and that hap40 has a distinct advantage at 3. I guess my question is, given ...

I'm ok with doing a little edge refinement and resharpening at the end of each working day or while out ca...

Re: Where is Jackknifeh?
I learn a lot from Cliff's posts and forum too.
I think I read somewhere that he had taken on some volunteer work that is eating up a lot more than the 10 hours a week he thought it would.
