Yeah, that's disappointing, but also probably not detrimental to performance.

It doesn't look great, but can you photograph the edge parallel to a metal straight edge and not backlit?

I'd suggest that we wildly speculate and then argue about it! :cheap-sunglasses :party-face :hot-face :discguised :cussing :vomit :* That's a fantastic idea. OR, we could argue about it first and THEN wildly speculate. It's such a winning combination, you can't lose, either way you go. I really thi...

I have used LC much more than H1/2 and MC. I tend to prefer FFG blades for a lot of the media that I cut, so LC and MC have appealed to me much more than the H alloys. I am just getting more time in with my MC Native Salt, but not enough to add anything. Thanks, Windward, for starting this thread an...

my favorite!!!

Cheers, bro! Congratulations on the house and have a happy and prosperous New Year!

I'm just waiting on things already revealed. Looking forward to comparing a Native Chief Salt to the Stretch Salt, and keeping an eye out for the Catcherman and Crucarta Manix XL to drop. There is so much good stuff in the queue that we already know about. The induced demand is strong. The mystery ...

That's a sick backspacer!! Haven't seen one like that before. Very nice.

Word! Senfkarte deserves props for that work!

The chaparral lightweight is frn with liners. Very solid feeling, yet with a very slicey thin blade. Great knife. Another nice feature of the FRN chap is the full steel back spacer. It is one of the few (or only?) current FRN models that has a steel back spacer. This helps gives a very solid and mo...

This thing was better than great, when it left the factory. Now it's my personal dream Manix 2. The changes I made: A titan ball cage, ceramic ball and a back spacer made out of aluminium. 16.jpg The cage is just for the aesthetics. Now all the hardware is silver/metallic. Locks cleaner, simpler, m...

I'm obviuosly no metalurgist, but I think as long as it goes on a Lum Tanto sprint run it makes sense!

well played.

There are many different ways to get the same hardness but not all are equal because the hardness is only measuring the sum of the constituents in the microstructure not the individual components that contribute the most to strength or toughness or the lack thereof. A great example is work that was...

Still the Zulu
zulu_02.jg

Nice pic, Mikey! We don't see the Zulu that often around here. That bulbous blade with gorgeous swedge is very nice... especially the way you set it up in that light.

I simply couldn't have one dream Spyderco. I like variety far too much for that...and I have several types of knife niches that are important in my life. Certainly I have small suggestions for improving favorite models and series. Deleting Seki- City wiggle? Longer SpydieChef 2? Thinner behind the e...

That’s interesting to hear. What is it about the kitchen knife that has you questioning it’s function? The blade slid out of the handle. Yikes indeed. Which model was that? Wakiita Funayuki. Luckily, it rattled first so I gave it a slight pull and it came right out. That's a bummer. I imagine they ...

I also had an issue with the kitchen knife I ordered which I feel to be well outside of the seconds definition (functional and safety issue). I am going through Spyderco Customer Service and expect them to be a little slow this time of year. I am still awaiting a reply but would not expect Spyderco...

It seems the highly corrosion resistant steels will not take as dark of a laser etch. I first noticed this years ago on my first N5 Salt (LC200n). It seems H1, H2 and MC act similarly. ETA: afterthought... It's odd that s110v takes such a dark laser etch considering it's corrosion resistance. :think...
