Re: Compendium of tips for sharpening serrated knives
That bloke’s method is flawed. His method of deburring on the back side will leave a small portion of the edge untouched by the stone. The ‘valley’ of the scallop. This will become more pronounced as the scallop becomes deeper, ie, the distance between the point of the serration and the valley of t...

Re: Compendium of tips for sharpening serrated knives
There is a lot of mystery surrounding how to sharpen serrated knives. I know that serrated knives would enjoy more popularity if people understood how to sharpen them as universally as plain edges. .... Vivi and others, what do you think about the method the guy uses in the vid I linked below (star...

Pacific Salt 2
The recent discontinuing of the Pacific Salt has had me wondering what’s next for the Pacific Salt 2.
I haven’t seen much said about it. What do we know?
LC200n, H1 or both?
E3, E4 handle or both?
Ffg? Or ffg LC200n and H1 grind remain the same?
Will we see it in the next reveal?

Re: New Carrying Bag? Or Fanny Pack?
I haven’t thought of bum bags in probably 15 years. Great for fishing, I used to always use one when walking the sand flats or bush bashing for bass. Handful of lures or flies, pliers and leader. Out in the real world they are the ultimate in f*ck you style. A bit like a mullet haircut. Combining th...

Re: Pork roast
Thanks Doc, your post motivated me to get up and cook dinner. No time for a roast unfortunately.
Did you fry off or brown your roast first?

Re: The hawkbill learning experience
Goodluck mate, I like steak too much to do this. I’m not replacing my steak knives :p Or any knife for that matter. It’s just what’s gonna be in my pocket for the next several weeks, ain’t never carried a hawkbill before. They’re not that bad to eat with in a pinch. I’ve eaten octopus and cold meat...

Re: Bottom of pocket/clipless carry ?
I’ve been carrying mostly clipless lately. Backlocks only though. Everything else gets clipped. Size hasn’t been much of an issue, from Dragonfly all the way up to Endura and Stretch. I haven’t had any failed lockups from lint. Lint does collect around the lockbar/blade interface but the snap open o...

Re: Upland game/Small game knife
Wartstein, I won’t speak for Doc but in my opinion, for the application he has in mind, a fixed blade is more appropriate. I think so too, as far as I can estimate that not being a hunter myself! But since Doc himself mentioned the Stretch as being for him a "top of the class" game knife,...

Re: Upland game/Small game knife
I think Phil Wilson mentioned a bird and trout knife in the S45VN thread. Could be a model to work toward? I thought the Spyderco Sprig was Phil's Bird & Trout. Absolutely. It’s disco’d though. Could be he has something different in mind. Either way, I look forward to it if it’s brought to mark...

Re: What knives have made the change to BD1N?
Does anyone know if the Polestar made the change to BD1N? Never had one, but looks like a great and very pretty little knife (if you're ok with linerlocks), but does not seem to get much attention. BD1N might give it another chance?? Agree, they are a pretty knife. I’d likely get one, Alcyone too i...

Re: What knives have made the change to BD1N?
Also, it’s my understanding that it’s a rolling change so if you’re looking for a model that it supposed to be swapping over... ask them to look before sending it your way. This is truth.
