... Leaf shapes also make a very good geometry for self defense, as well as a general purpose tool with the belly to slice with. The design works great for what it’s intended for I found that a long, straight cutting edge (like the Stretch offers) actually slices better or at least with more power,...

.. On mine the blade won't drop shut without loosening the pivot too far. That makes it a two handed closer. ... No offense, but honest question: Why "a two handed closer"?! Why not just use one of the other (to me actually more convenient and more secure anyway) comp.lock closing methods...

I’m also have been contemplating the lil temp as of late. I had the g10 version for awhile and find myself missing it. What I appreciated about it was that I did not have to “think” much when I used it. I generally prefer long thin blades and usually carry the police 4. With that knife and others l...

No idea about self defence with folders (though to me the edge curve of the Lil Temp. looks pretty "ANTI"-wharnie, so not what Mike Janich prefers for powerful cuts...) As for the thick stock: - The blade looks to be pretty tall, right from heel to tip, so this should make still for a dece...

Often.
Outdoor bread knife is a niche I could see a SE Pac Salt Wharnie in. Discontinued though, right?

As far as I know there has never been a Wharnie Pac Salt (not even in PE), just the smaller Salt 2..

Perhaps you're thinking of the Endura wharnie?

I have one dedicated food prep folder (UKPK Salt) for camping use. It only ever sees food and is thoroughly cleaned (no dissembly though, if soap can't get in, dirt can't get out ;-) ). Must be a good one for food prep, very salt 2 -ish (same blade stock thickness and same blade length) which I lik...

Both perfect and with great steels for what they were designed for:

- Spyderco Wayne Goddard in 4V steel
- Sharp Blades Arrows Vengeance in 54SiCr6 spring steel

Hello Spyderco fans. New guy here. I have been a fan of the sage series for a long time and have been collecting them for years. I just ordered the last knife I was missing for this collection. What do you all think will be the next knife in this series or what would you like to see? I would person...

I really like my Chap since I got custom (a bit thicker than the original ones) carbon fiber handles for the FRN model. But I don't understand what the 'laser beam edge' is supposed the mean. The Thickness BTE is very comparable to most other EDC-oriented Spydercos. Yes, as far as I can tell with m...

I really don’t understand how people run into “food prep” tasks outside of a kitchen so often that EDC knives need to touch food. Do you people lack teeth? Two fold answer: 1.) Yes, I do "run into food prep outside the (my) kitchen" quite often. I am lot on the road by car or bike when wo...

Huh, many of these answers surprise me, but I guess not everybody has suffered major health problems like most of my family has. I am what I would say is not unreasonably careful about what I touch before eating. At public restaurants I don't use my hands directly to touch much. I have a premature ...

I’ve been musing a little more over this and the more I consider it the more I think a basic Mora with the loose fitting plastic sheath would probably be best suited to your needs. The plastic handle is moulded onto the blade and is a tight seal, the sheath covers not just the blade but most of the...

Honestly as someone with a below average immune system Im interested in this answer. I've always been left scratching my head when someone lists food prep as one of their factors for liking or carrying an edc knife design, especially a folder. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of having a k...

My go to place for HAP40. I recently bought a second Endura at the lower price. Given inflation from when they were produced (2016?) it’s one **** of a good deal in my book.

It really is.

Endela SE, the knife that finally made me generally prefer "teeth" over plain edge in Soyderco folders. Always a great choice, though I also always and still wish the blade would be more handle filling and the knife thus offer a bit more cutting edge (hope they'll "fix" that if w...

... I have one of these and I do like it. It'd be even better if it was not so wide in the pocket, like, ummm, I don't know, a 3.5" Native. :winking-tongue Yeah, a 3.5" Native would be a pretty different knife... as you say, slimmer (thinner, less tall) in pocket, but also a lot lighter (...

Other than a dislike of their prices and return policy, ..... SOME prices are actually really good, like for the above mentioned HAP40 Endura (on average they very well might be higher than usual, never checked that). And someone pointed out a potential advantage of their return policy: This makes ...

Funny you mentioned them. I was pleasantly surprised by receiving the HAP40 Endura today, that I ordered from them on Wednesday! ... Congrats! I think the 125 USD they charge for the HAP40 Endura really are almost a steal. My personal favorite PE folder (this exact version) of all times. I also got...

I'll take your word for it. I've never watched a YouTube knife review. I prefer to form my own opinions Same here, obviously. ;) Occasionally watching Youtube knife "reviews" (mostly not "reviews" to me anyway as I tried to explain) of course has nothing to do with not "for...

I had a girlfriend tell me "It's not fair that your hands can be that soft. I know what you do for a living." And yes, if I pick up a knife or other tool and immediately feel sharp spots digging into my hands, I have enough experience to know what those spots are going to do when I start ...
