Spyderco Forums

This is a starry-eyed comment, not a review. I love the appearance, color, and heft and the bank vault sound of opening and closing. Most of all I love the blade which was sharp out of the box with symmetrical bevels. It honed beautifully on the Sharpmaker at the 30° setting. I send my thanks to the...

"Bruce Mack and blueblur, try running the blade past your thumb nail or a plastic ballpoint pen with the edge trailing and firm pressure, look carefully for the apex to be bent by that, if it is, then I think we all may have created wire edge, instead of a burr when sharpening." No expert...

I find that it does not hold a working edge. After a few uses the edge shreds cardboard or even paper with both push and pull cuts. This is after reprofiling to 15° and many passes on the Sharpmaker. This is my first Endura. I like the blade length but I will probably toss it if I can't "fix&qu...

My Endura came with a factory grind too obtuse for the Sharpmaker at 30°. I reprofiled with the Lansky and got a more acute bevel to allow a nice secondary bevel at the Sharpmaker 30° setting. Might it be better for Spyderco to default to the more acute angle? Those who favor 40° can readily get tha...

I am new to knives. Of those I own, the PM2 with s30v blade feels the best in hand. After sharpening it to 15° per edge with the Sharpmaker, I have put it in its tray, using some good but non-Spyderco knives as my EDC. Frankly, hearing that s30v is perhaps long in the tooth, I didn't want to have th...

I had a quick and courteous response with action taken on my warranty complaint.

"How does it affect the performance?" Well, if the lamination line crosses into the edge and apex you have an open-faced sandwich, just one layer of cladding and one of V-Toku. The unsupported V-Toku is more susceptible to chipping. In fact, my Endura did develop a small chip when it firs...

Isn't life weird ? Mine is identical to that and I couldn't care less. [/quote] I was OK until I looked at it closely while sharpening and my personal CQI kicked in :eek:. On a scale of 10 it's 3, but I kept thinking of the other Spyderco knives I could have had - Chaparral, Native 5 lightweight, or...

My Endura lamination is not only wildly asymmetrical but on one side the lamination line runs into the edge about 3/16 " before the tip. This is unacceptable. I have sent it to Spyderco for replacement or credit.

I noticed that the lamination lines are asymmetrical. Will this lead to chipping or other problems? https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNGY-fAYK4vQpD-U5VVpA_MILqJGWpvlnxMHpcN https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipN7zO5Lxq8xGenZBrDjqAAw1qaJayCUgUw6LMS0 I'm sorry if these do not post.

Sorry, no pictures. After my post, I went at more cardboard, some double thickness, with no further chipping.

I got my Endura V-Toku today and sharpened it to 17° with the Lansky, then put a 20°microbevel on it using the Sharpmaker. It was (is) very sharp after stropping but chipped out about 3/4" behind the tip on its first encounter with cardboard. The repair was easy with a pair of 320 grit ruby rod...

I am a good amateur woodworker. As most edge tools in woodworking come as a "kit", ready to sharpen, I have learned many strategies to get a good edge quickly. I have settled on a CBN grind wheel for a hollow bevel. This leaves 2 points of registration on the bevel, which is enormously wid...

I want this and would have ordered it, but am waiting to see if I get the Delica Sprint run in VToku 2. One or the other will be my first Spyderco knife.

Here's a thread from Woodcentral 2015. It may be helpful to you. (To the moderator, excuse me if this link violates forum policy.)

I recently purchased the Sharp maker. I even purchased the ultrafine rods and the diamond rods. I wish I never bought it I have buyers remorse. I only used it one time and I never even used the diamond rod. I have a set of DMT stones that I think are awesome. I use this simple plastic wedge to set ...

Good shot. Sunshine looks cool :)

Yes. My other knife, a Kershaw Leek, has not taken the same edge with the Sharpmaker. I’m still working at it.
