Spyderco Forums

Interesting. I don't know what your experiences are with s110v, but it will dull, often through microfracuring which leave a micro-serratedge that keeps cutting/sawing through cardboard for quite some time. From your description,this sounds different. Yup, the behaviors of the two materials are def...

I've been using the Über Manix for a week since last sharpening it. All the use as been relatively light duty, no hacking down manzanita bushes or cutting wire. While the performance was still good, I put the knife under the scope and discovered some deformation. Check out the first pic. The shiny ...

I got the DLT message, and I think one from National a couple weeks back. None of the other usual sources have send me notifications. Maybe they only send out notifications a couple dozen at a time, to prevent their servers from getting jammed up. As much as I despise BHQ's practice of charging cust...

First blank that arrived was the Amboyna Burl. So that's where I started. That's really pretty, PH. Nice work. You talked about a couple things that made me think. One was available tools. When I was a little kid, I liked playing with my grandfather's machine tools. I didn't really want to work wit...

I don't think the increasing level of steel snobbery is a bad thing

If there were no such thing as steel snobs, we'd all be carrying blades of Bessemer steel.

now you'll probably post about it. the more you post about it, the more others will notice it. the more others notice it, the more they will buy it. the more buy it, the more are talking about it. the more are talking about it, the more people buy it. Hmmm... that sounds a lot like... Social Media!...

if spyderco were to keep the vg10 in the lineup at the lower cost and add something like k390 (personally, i'd like to see salts too, but i know that typically means different molds are required), there would likely be a lot more positive commentary about the knife online, thereby selling more of e...

It's just a jump to the left.

The internet is what you make out of it really in the end.

Being offended is a choice in the end.

You are indeed a wise man, sir.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is why I'm careful about posting on social media, but no matter how careful you are, there is always somebody trying to make your life a living ****.

Bwahahahaha!
You guys are cracking me up.
This is more fun than Tik-Tok and Twitter.

need more extreme teats

Heh, heh, heh. Huh, huh, huh.

Those are all really interesting. Right now is one of those rare times when my knife collection and my covetousness are in perfect balance. I'm happy with what I have, and I don't desire anything new. However, tomorrow is a new year and it's only a matter of time before the new catalog comes out, d...

Participating in an irrelevant discussion, i.e. "who is not on social media,"
is a perfect example of what what social media is all about.

With this, the scales are done.

Here's how they compare to the originals:

They look super!
Nice work.

I don't despise the right-handed compression lock as much as I used to. In fact, I've grown to like my purple Cru-Wear PM2. I'd LOVE it if it was left-handed. The button seems appealing in that it would make the compression lock ambidextrous. However, in the picture it looks as if it sits taller tha...

The CPM-15V slices through vanilla like a knife through a bean.
It's raining, so it's a good day to cook flan.

The trick, I'm told, is to put just enough on the wood and then wipe it off. Then you buff the wood. Let it sit for an hour and do it again. I'll take a picture of the can so you can see the fine print. I'm sure something is done so that it doesn't harden. You do need to mix it up if it sits for a ...

You might try contacting Walmart and letting them know that you need wifi connectivity to help you evaluate your purchasing options regarding knives. Some DNS services allow an administrator to block certain categories of websites. Maybe some low-grade nitwit at Walmart just checked the box, without...
