My two favorite work knives. Spyderco Waterway and Siren. Love all the great images this year!

Never for me. About once or twice a year I’ll get a fish scale it some heavy gunk in the pivot that won’t blow out. If that happens I’ll loosen the pivot enough to create and blow it out with a high pressure hose and retighten. Like Vivi, I’m not scared of taking them apart, I just don’t have the ti...

Based on the results of my corrosion resistance and edge performance testing I would like to see both the Siren and Waterway offered in Magnacut. —On a side note, I would very much like to see them both offered in serrated versions too. Especially the Siren. I feel like every Salt knife should have ...

I like to freehand but the sharpmaker is an indispensable tool in my kitchen. I have my kitchen knives properly profiled so that I can hit the microbevel 6-8 licks on the Sharpmaker and have them shaving sharp again in less than 10 seconds. If you want to use low edges (and you want to use the SM ex...

…i'm still irritated by the issue, it's implications, and the response from some around here to honest discussion, but none of that is the knife's fault…. Hey ladybug, I hope I’m not one of those people. Just wanted to reiterate (or clarify). I clearly see the issue with the grind. I am NOT trying ...

For those with the wonky serrated grind, if you lower the angle on the plain edge portion I bet it will look much better.

This.^ It looks like this is more of an issue with the PE section not being ground low enough to “meet” the serrations. (As ladybug and others have already noted)

...lemons out of lemonade...

i like that.

Bwahahaha. Nice catch. Thankfully I’m not trying to make lemons out of lemonade. That’s hard work!

why can't it be a collector piece that you plan to use? i use all my knives in my collection. i don't expect them to stay perfect, but i certainly expect them to come to me in the condition they are supposed to be in. why can't we just call a problem a problem? i'm gonna have to just stop talking a...

I kind of like the way the serrations end. I think that slight height differential between the SE and PE section will make a very effective edge for “scoring” pull cuts on flat surfaces. Kind of like a little “micro hawkbill”. Just make sure that corner is sharp and it should be very effective at t...

Easy one for me. I would prefer a Stretch XL Salt. The backlock is a proven design in rust proof folders. I have had a number of issues with compression lock Salts that never occurred with backlocks. Compression locks are also more “fiddley” when closing which is not what I’m looking for in a marine...

The yet to be Magna cut or LC200N Salt Millie

I heard that one is coming soon…they’re calling it the Stretch XL Salt.

*I mean, not really…but kind of.

I would like to have a high quality production fillet knife too, but like any knife, there are many styles and design options from which to choose. Though there is some conformity within the United States and Europe, when you start looking at various countries and cultures, styles of fillet knives c...

Fish and game. Probably 95%+ of my knife use is cleaning fish. I might spend 20 minutes a day cleaning fish, maybe a minute a day on food prep, and probably less than a minute a week on anything else.

A Craftsman screwdriver would be stronger than either.

Quoted for truth.

But there’s a problem, corrosion terrifies me.

Buy a boat….you will get over your fear quickly… you will learn treatment and prevention pretty quickly

And acceptance.

My thoughts on this have changed a bit over the last 10 years. A decade ago I had no fear over owning a folder in a non stainless tool steel. I am not obsessed with aesthetics and don’t mind a knife developing some staining as long as it continues to function properly. If I had one non stainless EDC...

20220618_014041.jpg Not a good pic, and I had to edit it to fit, but: Salt Pac Salt 2 Jumpmaster 2 All of them cut extremely well. But, nothing cuts like the Jumpmaster. At least nothing I've experienced. Yeah, I have the Jumpmaster 1 and can agree that NOTHING cuts like that knife. It’s a monster!

Hey Marius, I have a little different perspective. I will probably buy the SE as my first Stretch XL but that is because I am waiting for the Salt version to come out. That may be a couple of months out or maybe over a year, who knows? What I would probably do in YOUR shoes though is get the PE VG10...
