Re: Rebuilding your collection from scratch

Siren
Waterway
Serrated Pacific Salt

Those three meet all my needs. Everything else is in the “want” category.

A few wants I would likely acquire are…

Manix LW in some exotic steel
Stretch 2 XL (ideally a salt version)
Millie 1 in some exotic steel

Re: How Often Do You ‘Spydieflick’ ?

Almost never. Usually a few times when I get a new Spydie, just to check the action, but almost never after that. A lot of my use is on a kayak where there’s no one to impress with my ninja skills and a dropped knife often equals a lost knife. But I still find it satisfying every now and again on dr...

Re: Waterway in Magnacut?

I think there are already some lc200n Waterways waiting on sheaths. I don’t know anymore than anyone else here about plans for future steels but my guess would be that any new steels, handle colors etc would depend largely on how the upcoming batch of waterways sell. I’d imagine that would apply to ...

Overlooked? https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/kk28/yablanowitz/0726221948b_2.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds My personal opinion is that most people don't "get it". It is a relatively old design, so it isn't "New and Exciting". It has what I believe to be the ...

Re: Gravel Bikes

Finally got back out on gravel yesterday. Looks like a gorgeous ride. I'm jealous of the rolling hills, and the long distance. I've been doing a whole lot of climbing, and I'd really like to try out some longer-distance, less-steep routes. I tried out a new single track park last week and ended up ...

Re: Spyderco Siren CF/S90v Sprint…In The Wild!

Hey Lance, I guess you could buy some, sign them and sell them? Or have customers send them to you to sign, but being where you are, that could be problematic. I use an engraver that Tim Leatherman gave me to sign blades. sal Hey Sal, I’ve done that a few times for friends on this forum but yeah, i...

Re: Spyderco Siren CF/S90v Sprint…In The Wild!

Thanks for sharing , my thoughts are exactly in line with yours . I’m glad they introduced this version so in the future there should be more demand in another saltwater variation .

ETA?
Man, I have ZERO idea on that. I do know that this was an early sample so it could be awhile yet. Hopefully not months or anything or I might get in trouble for posting pics. :grimace

Spyderco Siren CF/S90v Sprint…In The Wild!

Sooo, I received an early sample of the S90v Sprint and thought I would share a few initial impressions and a photo. I’ll try to do my best to set aside any bias and offer some objective thoughts. First though, here’s a quick photo in the wild. https://i.imgur.com/twYrnDu.jpg First thing I noticed w...

Re: Falling out of love with serrations

If I’m carrying a single serrated knife as a dedicated EDC then I prefer slightly less pointy/aggressive for the versatility. If I’m carrying a serrated blade as a secondary blade for a few very specific tasks I might prefer the pointier tips.

Re: Falling out of love with serrations

I cut real things...not paper I'm not quite sure why you're so against making the scallops work to your advantage? That's kind of like saying I'd rather use a dull knife than a sharp knife. Would you say a rope, a strap, a catgut or a fresh bread are real things ? Just curious… Sometimes grabbing t...

How corrosive is zombie blood? Do we really know? Maybe Rock Salt or Waterway. Modified whale release blade?

Re: micro-beveling - when to reprofile?

I microbevel all my edges. The main reason is ease of sharpening and edge maintenance. Once I have my primary bevel set, I can bring my edge back to hair popping sharp in about 10-20 seconds on the Sharpmaker. If you are hitting a true microbevel then it only takes 6-8 passes to bring a edge back t...

I couldn’t even figure it out with the red marks showing me what I was supposed to be looking at. :eye-roll :rofl

That photo was a lot of work. Glad it made the calendar. Like I said earlier, that’s one of the most “syderco-ey” photos I’ve seen submitted. Tight work!
