Dear guys, Can't believe that it is usual quality of manufacturing of Spyderco knives... It is Delica 4 ss Looking at my knifes I wouldn't think this would be within tolerance for a Spyderco knife. If it was mine I would try to exchange. Maybe some of the members that have been here longer will giv...

I try to keep my knifes as sharp as possible. I think cardboard is the material that most on here judge a sharp edge and a working edge but I'd be more critical of the edge for cleaning deer or fish and working on the farm. For cutting silver skin when butchering a deer, I want the knife sharp so an...

I live on a farm, operate equipment, ride horses, have lost screws from two pocket clips, and my wife lost one. I use a little loctite on most everything without a lock washer.

Hi Guys and thanks! We’ve had some rough weather around here with straight-line winds and tornados so I’m not doing much work outside. I’m retired also, not from work but from a paying job so I’ve been putting the sharpener through the paces. I’ve sharpened all my skinning knifes, fillet knifes, cle...

One of a kind sharpener (pic)

Hi folks, I posted this for some of you DIY (and not so much cash) type guys. I’ve bought some ZDP-189 knifes and I really like the steel. I live on a small farm and use a knife daily and have been sharpening with the sharpmaker. The sharpmaker is great but it does take a while to sharpen the ZDP st...

I was thinking the same!
I was about to order the Centofante 4 and saw the GB Air and like both of them. Lock back vs liner but the blades look very similar.
