Re: Cold Steel Voyager review

Well this thread popped up when I was looking for something else in a search. I ended up selling my voyager to a co-worker because he was looking for a good pocket knife. Looking at those pictures has me tempted to order another. I've been thinking about it too. Well I found some new old stock pre-...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

I think people tend to rush the final steps, because they know they are close to apexing and then get a little messy. Just keep taking your time and use light pressure. Does it matter if you alternate strokes on each side to apex or just keep going on one till you get a burr? yes. raising a burr me...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

Making 2024 the year I try and learn to freehand sharpen. I recently sharpened my VG10 Delica and it looked like it had a good scratch pattern all up the blade, even and clean, and I got a burr on each side on my 300 grit stone then felt like I deburred ok. I when to the 600 grit stone and it felt ...

Re: A Deeper Investigation into Spyderco Diamond vs cBN: Which is better?! Why!?

I felt the spyderco cbn rods and stone broke in faster than other plated diamond stones of similar surface finish. I prefer the benchstone for more surface area for knives versus the rod format. I personally thought the diamond rods would have left the lineup years ago in favor of the 400 and event...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

Chip isn't quite sharpened out, but getting closer as it gets sharpened down more. Glad I'm not the only one with a "let it ride" approach. I figure with a good 4-4.5" of edge before I get to the chip, I can slice most things withiut it getting in the way. I don't want to waste a bun...

Re: Spyderco backlocks : why is the stop pin an exception, instead of being the norm ?

...Getting the pin to bottom out at the same time as the lock drops looks like a whole 'nother level of difficulty. For a prototype, yes. For production though? Some added complexity, yes, but enough to price it out of reach? Note that the Triad lock has the same issue: the stop pin must hit the bl...

Re: Why Do Seki Models Have Lock Rock??!!

They have vertical rock because the blade when deployed is "stabilized" by the lock bar which is itself not fixed in place since it has to move to open and close the blade. Cold Steel nullifies this with the "triad" lock by placing a fixed stopping bar for the blade tang to rest...

Re: MagnaCut Production Folders

Cold Steel Recon M1 folder with 4" Black Stonewashed MagnaCut blade, Tri-Ad lock, Black G-10 and made in Italy for about $260 (hopefully a street price of $200). It’s not out yet (looks like April 2024) and was shown at SHOT Show 2024. https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-t7tzgd0/images/stencil/ori...
