Ok bruh. The real issue with understanding is that you want to insist i see things your way. You keep trying to "correct " me. Stop it. My opinion is every but as valid as yours. So understand that, or silence yourself. Your thoughts are no more valid than mine and i find your condescendi...

Sorry Vivi thought it was your thread rather than your most recent post. Apologies.

Vivi without a doubt the HAP40. Its brutal!

Native 5 left front. Endura 4 in RF. Possibly others scattered around lol.

Just my opinion my friend, but the main reason is under 4 inches may not be long enough to reach a vital organ in a SD scenario. If you are attempting to incapacitate an assailant, a longer blade capable of reaching the heart diaghram or liver while going the long way, may be the difference between...

I dont really believe in knives for SD, still i like to EDC larger knives (Military etc.). And yes, some food prep and whittling is easier, but thats not the only aspect. It comes down to ergonomics and handle size: i’m most comfortable with handles 5 1/4 “ and up, and like to have a proportional b...

It could be an availability issue but I don't think it's cost. I've seen as little as $7 difference in retail price between S30V and 20CV. I just don't wanna pay scalpers prices for a knife and I never have the money when it comes for sale at a retailer. Cost is more than just the price you pay. If...

what is your recommended way of brining our the best in S30V. All steels with a lot of vanadium carbide will require diamonds or cbn to get a good edge. A sharpening platform like the Spyderco triangle or Lansky is necessary for keeping the stones at the right angles. Diamond and cbn can be expensi...

S30V is great and works well for the desired price / performance point they're going for on new releases to make them available to more people. I do wish they would run some production 20CV or similar on the Golden line like they did with S110V and Rex 45 but I guess they're leaving it to exclusive...

The venerable Kiwi - compact, classy, gentleman's (gentlepersons) folder, available in a variety of configurations, a classic. The Ikuchi - compact, elegant, modern flipper gentleperon's folder, an instant classic that needs many configurations! Your thoughts? https://i.imgur.com/jqqzMW4.png I like...

Amazing! First of all, once again, Wartstein my friend, you prove to be a great thinker and knife user. I am very glad to read this topic thread and I am very glad you made it, thank you. My answer is similiar in some respects to others. At least for me, I have found that the "ideal" knif...

Stimulated by some recent posts and discussions I´d like to adress a question to all of you who like to carry folders with blades of 4 inches or longer: What are the actual advantages of such a long blade in various EDC-scenarios compared to a not short, but around 3.5 to 3.8 blade ? Let me specify...

Appreciate the genuine discussion. I figure the LW is what i will hunger for. Sal provided some important (at least for me) information, regarding how the G10 from Seki winds up being a significantly more expensive proposition than here in the USA. In fact what i learned from him, may prompt me to ...

Hi Kenbo, Japanese G-10 hasn't been a solution. Availability was limited and cost was very high. Chinese G-10 was available, but quality was lower and is complicated by counterfeiting. It's something w're always working on. As mentioned, current solution is FRN in Seki. That's why there is no G-10 ...

it isnt Spyderco that has me aggravated. Its the dam retailers teying to gouge us. But it would seeem everyone is ok with that. More importantly i am apparently supposed to be ok with that. And recognize, i guess, that letting them gouge me and everyone else should be something i put up with quietl...

I’ve just my 1st Endura, the SuperGold version, and wonder whether I’ll need the frn P4 now. I feel the same. The Endura gives me all I need, at a perfect, long, but not TOO long bladelength... but then, the thread I started very recently ("advantages of 4 " plus blades" https://foru...
