I held off on the BF sales, but I'm definitely interested in this. Lumpy, thanks for the reminder that you can get discontinued knives like the Police 4 in G10. I wouldn't mind a non-FRN Police 4 (G10 or Pakkawood, I'm not picky) so I can make some scales for it. Hopefully I'll be able to find that ...

There has been a sizable group of C-60 Ayoob fans who have been requesting a SALT version of this superb model for years now. I myself would also like to see an LC200N version of the C-60 at some point. It's been said on a few occasions that the C-60 does a decent job of filleting fish as well as o...

How thick is bte ? It’s important for me. I need to decide between the SE and the PE.

Unfortunately, I don't have it near me. I keep that knife in Texas when I go and visit for several weeks around the holidays. I won't be able to get you anything in a timely manner.

I haven’t seen one in person but it appears to be about the same size as a Manix minus the choil. Is this true? Thanks! When comparing actual cutting edges, the Lil Temp is almost identical to the Manix. The handles are quite different. While shorter, I find the Lil Temp to be extremely comfortable...

Man, there were some great deals on this knife. I have the VG10 version and love how it feels in hand. I was tempted to get this one, but ultimately decided against it. I don't find myself with cutting tasks that my current version can't handle. Still, what a great knife. Holding is believing.

GP Knives has the 8x3 ultra fine for $100. Couldn’t pass that up. https://www.gpknives.com/spyderco-ultra ... pener.html

Conclusion Edge Aggression is not just a feature of edge finish, testing shows the microstructure of the steel itself particularly the carbide size and volume can play a huge role in the edges ability to slice with the least amount of force possible. Further testing is required to see what ranges o...

I’d love to see a return of the GB1. Could even be the original configuration. It is much more elegant than the 2 in my opinion.

The GB1 looks so much better IMO. Not holding my breath for that. Interested in this exclusive though. I’d think about some wood scales as well.

here's something different. repairing a chipped robo-coupe blade with a dmt diafold. How does a chipped robo-coupe blade affect performance from a culinary point of view? Like, I'm not sure it would be all that different when making something like a pesto. Or is this just about maintaining a tool?

Larger, chunkier, carbides, where when the steel is sharpened the matrix is worn away a bit more between the carbides?

Larger in relation to what? I thought the PM process keeps the carbides small.

Seems like that’s not the only gem hiding at Cutlery Shoppe. They have Super Blue Delicas and Enduras. https://cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c11fpgye-delica-4-ffg-laminated-super-blue-420j1-blade-sprint-run/ https://cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c11fpgye-delica-4-ffg-laminated-super-blue-420j1-blade-sprin...

Yo! These are very nice scales. I hope they make some for larger Seki models.

Imagine this in M4, 4V, Rex45 or a Crucarta run. For those who don't know, Vivi is known for (among other things) having bear paws for hands. I've amended the original image with a normal sized hand for scale. https://i.postimg.cc/MHKKDVGP/vivi-hand.png Vivi, I mean no offense by this, just trying ...

I feel like the answer is gonna be simple and straightforward, but what is that round thing?

With the expansion close to being done, the idea of resurrecting some Golden models is a little more palatable. There’s an opportunity cost to producing “another” Manix. I think the criticism of too many variants of existing knives is fair. Many of us want new and exciting. Maybe the expansion allow...

Not sure if I’ll purchase it, but National Knives has a ZDP Endura. ZDP seems like such an odd yet interesting steel. I don’t find the Endura to be all that comfortable, hence the hesitation.

I got a KC exclusive Delica last year. Love that knife.

Only way they're going to do higher hardness HAP40 is if they do away with the SS cladding. I don't think that's out of the question like it used to be since Seki did Cruwear without cladding Has anybody seen Hap40 without cladding? All the examples I can think of (be it pocket knives or kitchen kn...

With the recent announcement that GP Knives is extending their white/Rex 45 exclusive to the Manix line, I'm hopeful that they release a Native Chief LW in Rex 45. I've heard good things about the steel and missed out on the sprint. I remember when they did this configuration for the Native 5. It se...

Don’t say both!?!? What is this heresy?
