Some cutting tests with the Native FRN PE S30V This is a second native I got when I was impressed with the first. It is extremely sharp right out of the box. Cardboard- 10 12" downwards pushing cuts through the cardboard case for 24 12 oz soda cans. I made 13 more cuts before the edge near the ...

This may be beating a dead horse on my part :rolleyes: but I just got the native s30v and I can't get over it. it is a great little knife. it is light, sharp and stays that way. It has just jumped into my pocket as an edc and is making it's presence felt. Plus I got it at wal mart. $40. S30V. can no...

I have done some reading on CPM-S30V and I've read that it can be brittle and prone to chipping. How do spyderedge knives in s30v hold up? Do the tips of the serrations tend to chip or break off, or is it pretty strong? I can assume that the edge retention is phenominal from my experiences with my P...

Jeff- you knew you were going to get one anyways :rolleyes: :cool: I've used aus-8 spyderco delica's and I found that the edge retention is naturally better in the serrated versions than in the plain edge. also, the point had been made before that the feature setting the knife apart from others is t...

looks like you got it to me! :cool:

Just curious, do you carry a Salt model? They seem designed to be used out at sea. I haven't tried a salt, because I am willing to sacrifice corrosion resistance for edge retention. I want to try either a military or manix but I'm leery about spending that much money right now. So perhaps a Pacific...

Thanks guys. I get a lot of opportunity to use a knife at work, and since I like spyderco the best, they see a lot of time at sea. The boat offers opportunity not only to see how well a knife cuts, but also how it stands up to the elements, since mine usually is exposed on deck, either in a lobster ...

I have been edcing the raven on the lobster boat for the last few days, and today I got a lot of use out of it. 2 months ago we lost 12 pots on a 20 pot trawl. We tried grappling for it on several occasions and eventually picked up something on the hook, but, when near the surface, we parted off the...

I have a few laying around I might do a review on, but get more knives?? I'm not made of money :D I might review these :) : a pride a PE caly jr. an older ladybug I have been edc'ing the byrd caracara my pretty used Dyad C-44 SE rescue 79 mm (unless I sell it or trade it) plus, more to come on the r...

Spyderco Native Review (also posted on Bladeforums.com) I went to walmart today and got a Spyderco native in CPM S30V blade steel. it is the first knife I own in this blade steel, and I decided to put it to a few cutting tests to see what it could do. This will be my edc when I am not at work, so th...

Did you try the byrd knives? I recently got a couple, and I'm impressed.

ahh got it :D

I don't buy it. There some details missing here. The 204 is THE MOST RESPECTED sharpener out there. Even other companies recommend it(on Chris Reeve's website for example) so I highly doubt it would be beaten out by some of the other sharpeners, in a PROPERLY CONTROLLED testing. I even saw it in th...

when you say punch, is that like a marlinespike on a sheepsfoot style rigging knife? or is it more of a window punch?

Yesterday I got 2 Byrds in the mail, the Raven and the Caracara. I took some time to play around with the Raven and put it to some cutting tests. Specs: BY08BKP Length overall 7 7/8" (200 mm) Blade length 3 1/2" (89 mm) Blade steel 8Cr13MoV Length closed 4 3/8" (111 mm) Cutting edge 2...

My brother has the same problem!! :confused:

The thread on beater spydies got me thinking. What spydies have you LOST!! the first spyderco I lost was an endura, FRN with the integral clip and plain edge,( I can't remember the steel) that I got in 1998 from a knife store in the university mall in tampa. My dad has lost a number of spydercos. Ov...

When I figure out the whole picture thing, I'll have a few spydies to show. There's the FRN clip delica SE FRN clip delica CE FRN ATS-55 Rescue SE (Actually my dads. I took it one day on the boat, and never gave it back :D ) Micarta ATS-55 Dyad FRN VG-10 Endura My brother's ABUSED SS AUS-6 PE Delica...
