It's where I got mine.

You could regrind a blade a lot easier (read several orders of magnitude)with an Apex than you could with a standard Sharpmaker, I would even say the coarse stone on the Apex was a lot more efficient than the diamond rods you can get for the Sharpmaker, then again I more or less ruined my diamond ro...

Hi Sven. A stropping compound is a very fine abrasive that is applied to the strop. It is usually so fine that the most noticable effect is that it puts a polished edge on the knife. You can get treated leather that has a certain amount of compound ingrained, but on plain leather you will need to ad...

I’m a long time Spyderco Sharpmaker user, but sometimes you come across knives that don’t have exactly 30deg or 40deg edge bevels, and as the Sharpmaker isn’t necessarily the best at re-profiling I thought I would get an Edge Pro Apex with the stone upgrade kit. I would also strongly recommend getti...

I find the new 3D shaped Native intriguing and would dearly like to get one (esp as I've become a fan of the new wire clips), but I consider my native a high wear knife, but I only consider VG-10 to be a medium wear steel. If only they made the 3D Native with S30v, I'd get a second one like a shot. ...

For a limited run of a great steel, how about combining it with a limited run of a great knife. "The D2 Lrg Calypso PE" or failing that the "D2 G-10 Native PE" for us poor folks who live in knife unfriendly countries where a D2 Military would probably be just too big. BTW - I hav...

I went around to my brother's yesterday, and as he was going to help me T-cut my car I thought I would cook tee ("supper" for you posh types) for him. It was diced chicken and mushrooms dry fried with garlic and taragon served with noodles. Anyway brothers supply of kitchen tools was a lit...

I agree, I would very much like to see more knives utilising this material, it's pure beauty. I have my micarta Jester on my key ring and have noticed something wonderful with it, the way it changes in strong sunlight. I had my keys in my car ignition and after I came back from around the other side...

It's also a good reason on why to keep your knife nice and sharp. I saw part of the TV interview that that article was taken from. On it he said he had to snap his arm bones because when he first tried using the knife, it barely broke the skin. ****, that guy had balls as big as the boulder he was p...

Heck !!
How much "tip" was broken off so that re-profiling took it down to the size of a Ladybug ?????

This is about the only part of Spyderco involving us users so much that I don't like <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> It some how makes me feel responsible if a model gets discontinued. So here are the models I would very much like to KEEP : C07P Police Stainles...

Whilst there are definate advatages to serrations in certain situations, the plain edge is definately a jack of all trades, whereas serrations can have difficulties with some materials. As I never know what I'm going to cut on any given day I always carry a PE as I know it will cope. I do sometimes ...

Two year olds don't need caffine boosts. They only have 2 speeds, 100mph and fast asleep.

Interesting, not tried a convex grind on CMP440v, but the convex grind (edge) on my GIN1 Navigator is always shaving sharp. As an aside I was once told that it was near impossible to put a mirror finish on CPM440v or BG-42 because of it's make up. A while back I decided to take advantage of Ben Dale...

The Chinook, Millitary and Lil' Temperance are all 4mm (5/32 for you 20 centry Americans <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ) thick. Of them all I would say that the Lil' Temperance "feels" the thickest. In fact when somebody told me the Temp and the Mi...

Yep, my SAK has a philips screw driver. Although it is quite old, about 18 yrs old, not sure what it's called, just big n' black.
