25% off MSRP? So for example, I could order a C11SBK for 25% off MSRP of $99.95, making it $74.96... Or I could order it from CS for $56.00 on any given day, without a coupon code. Or maybe I'm missing something. I recommend using it on gear that is not really sold anywhere else. Hats, shirts, inte...

Got the pre-order in and if they are hitting this month I better save some money so I don't have to sell one of mine!

Sending one of mine off Monday to have a maker put some sweet handles on it.

Sooo Elmax should be out this month?? Very very exciting for that one! Sounds like its almost as good as M390 with a proper HT?

Love the sharpmaker recently started getting good with it and very satisfactory results... Need the UF stones, think I'll get some right now from cutleryshoppe.

Details on that one?! :D

Of my two, one also came with some spots and the other just shiny. Threw some option 4 earth brown Halperns on the shiny one for now. May change my mind though...

I didn't see the combo colors advertised ended up goin for the option 4 earth brown. Pics tomorrow.

Here is my MT09 handles and sheath done by the one and only Gavkoo Backdrop makes the jade G10 look more yellow when its really more of a glacier pale white. the Cos-3 really does cut like a dream in my novice opinion its a underrated steel /mule. http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h463/adamrockcra...

I really like that. Nice Mule!

regular cutting will patina before it rusts it. That was normal patina, rust would have been a bit different Ah thanks, now that I think about it, rust I see on mild steel for welding and my jeep parts from off roading is much deeper in color / penetration and sorta flakes. Gonna keep the superblue...

I have been fighting the patina-ing on my caly superblue but I thing you all changed my mind. How does one make a patina without created rust? The little bit my caly SB did patina turned a orange hue. That was from slicing jalapeños.

Rockcrawler, have you ever had a knife made of A2? How about 3V? It's closer to that than to 1095. Not as "stainless" as D2. It takes some watching but isn't as rusty as the super blue was. I don't have trouble with any of them and keep them shiny, and not partially oxidized or patina-ed....

Received my two. Came with a nice coat of oil, I am guessing the steel is not the most corrosion resistant?

I am interested to see how this steel performs. Has anyone out there had any experiences with CruWear? ... Ankerson...?

Good stuff right there, thanks for sharing.

Did you take the factory edge off before edc? It appears to be more even in the after EDC pic then it does in the factory edge pic.

They actually look quite a bit darker in person, with a nice variation in the grain.

Really diggin this knife.

Come on people post of pictures of yours!

Couple very amateur pictures... http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h463/adamrockcrawler/IMG_00041.jpg http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h463/adamrockcrawler/IMG_00101.jpg http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h463/adamrockcrawler/IMG_00031.jpg This is my first Sage and I love how solid it feels, it...

Grabbed two!

Ooooh... That sounds like "lightning strike" carbon fiber. Aerospace companies use it to make certain airfame parts conductive which helps manage lightning and static electricity buildup. It is really cool looking stuff....Expensive, though... TedP A Spyderco Schempp with Lightening Strik...

Mine comes in tomorrow Ill try to get some cool ones :D

I am using Congress stones for four years. I tried about half of them, but I like only Ruby and moldmaster. I use them with water and dry. I prefer dry, they cut much faster. Also ruby cuts faster than moldmaster, but ruby is aluminum oxide and moldmaster is silicon carbide. I used ruby to sharpen ...
