Spyderco Forums

I have had some minor rust and pitting issues with VG-10, but that was from my own perspiration. I carry a small knife while bicycling, and even with cleanup and Tufglide coating, I was always chasing pitting and rust when I had my Matriarch. My issue is unique though because most times a knife is n...

I think a more grey coloured wood would go better with the SuperBlue blade than a darker more brown wood. I personally am a huge fan of blue dyed curly Maple, and think it would look awesome on a SB Stretch. That's exactly what I was thinking - gray scales would go nicely, especially with a patina....

Sales on each got kind of sluggish for a good while and they were discontinued.

The small black micarta version was my favorite Persian also.

I have not handled the Air. I had an Al Mar Ultralight (Hawk?) and it was dandy. I like Al Mar stuff - small, light, simple, understated (the stuff I like, anyway is understated) yet elegant. I telecommute and seldom wear clothes nice enough to justify having a gent's folder anymore so I sold it. It...

[quote="Blerv"]Sigh. Of all the threads to bump... QUOTE] That's the first thing that came to my mind. If this is a legitimate concern of anybody, that somebody should entertain the thought of finding more to do with his life. There are so many other great topics to discuss. This ain't one...

I would have to say, in order - Gayle Bradley, Sage 1, Vallotton.

Hi Folks! The SuperLeaf fell in the field where the ergos & portability had two kings already: the Manix and the Para2. Not really easy to deal with such successful models... :rolleyes: That puts it quite well. The Superleaf was a fine knife but it had a lot of strong competition from some of S...

Ultimately it was too similar yet too bulky compared to the Para 2 so I passed on it. The ergos are actually a bit better for me though, but it never came in 20CP so the Para got the win. I would agree. It's a great design but I ended up carrying other knives more often than my Superleaf, based on ...

Sweet! Let me know when to pre-order!

Whoa! The forum has been remodeled!

AND 1,000 POST MILESTONE!

It's been wonky since yesterday I think. I posted a comment when I had 999 posts. The post count didn't roll to the 1,000 post milestone - it stayed at 999.

And it's still at 999 after this post too. Strange magic is afoot here gentlemen.

I like to have at least one serrated knife in my collection. I think that they hold a really sharp cutting edge for a longer time than an equivalent straight edge, and for certain things (like cutting fibrous materials) I think they are more efficient.

I like a large folder. The Tatanka looks comically big. And I still want one.

My mind tells me that the Roc is not a knife that I would like for my purposes. Again, I still want one. It must be the look of it. It looks like a meat cleaver and a straight razor had a baby together.

Thanks again Wouter for giving us some great recon. I liken this to the annual Sears Christmas catalog that used to show up at my door when I was a kid. And curse you Ed Schempp! Just when I think I am cured of you, you keep pulling me back in! I got the eyeroll from my wife tonight when I was telli...

1. The Tuff - I was super stoked about it's release. I had high hopes for it, and I generally dig Ed Schemmps's stuff. This one didn't suit my needs when it came down to actually trying to use it. Not a bad knife - it just didn't suit me. I had talked myself into wanting it before it was released th...

1. The Dodo - I cringed just looking at pictures of it. I had to see what all the hype was about so I bought one on a whim and now it's one of my favorites. 2. The Stretch - another funny-looking knife, in a bad way. I handled one at a shop and had to have it. I have gotten a bunch of use out of it....

Here is another vote for the diamond stones. They are a time-saver on some of the harder steels. I have found the Sharpmaker is best for regular touch-ups.

I forgot - the SE Spyderhawk in H-1. Great knife.

Yes - this is a good way to put it.
