Re: Mini Yojimbo Prototype ?

I love the size, blade shape, and overall concept. I'm not loving the large amount of un-used dead space between the index finger and the beginning of the blade edge. The hump above the spydie-hole at the top of the grind line could also use some flattening. Is this design final or still in developm...

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman

This is my first Spyderco Micarta scaled knife... I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I'm noticing a phenolic chemical smell from the handle that also rubs off on my hands. I'm pretty sensitive to chemical smells... anybody know how long this lasts? Presumably it gets less overtime as the scal...

That is a CRAZY good price. I already have the Gyuto and the Bunka knife, so I had to buy the Nakiri!

Re: Carter Design & Galley V combo.

Hi Captnvegtble, Not at this time. I imagine if the demand is there, we can always move on it. At this time, the Gauntlet CBN rods seems to be working. sal Thanks Sal. I'll have to give the Galley V another look... I usually free-hand sharpen all my knives, but the Galley V would be much more conve...

Re: Carter Design & Galley V combo.

Hi Zrows, Yes, I'm using the CBN rods from the Gauntlet in my Galley V. sal Sal, Is there a plan to make longer 12 inch CBN rods specif...

Re: Carter Design & Galley V combo.

I have a Itamae Bunka Bocho in Super Blue, which I absolutely love (https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/K18GBNBK/Itamae-trade-Bunka-Bocho/1822). This is the knife which I almost exclusively use in the kitchen now; the quality is excellent and the edge retention is great. It's a steep price, but...

The Superhawk is in my top 5 designs. I 100%disagree with removing the choil. This is my number one carried hawkbill. I choke up with the choil a lot.

Re: Hawkbill Grail

Hi Matt, Thanx for the thread. It's one of those designs that thought was kind of an ultimate Hawkbill. More expensive that I'd hoped for. I named the knife after one of my favorite motorcycles in the 60's. I worked on the design for quite a while. Even the edge was a decreasing radius to keep the ...

Steel Chart

Spyderco's Steel Chart (https://www.spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/steel-chart/) is such a useful and wonderful tool. I'm curious when it gets updated with the newer steels like Magnacut and SRS13?

Re: Magnacut Fixed Blade

Mules pics are in the mule section 😉 I like how you smoothed down the guard hook. I'm thinking about doing the same with mine. I had to grind down the guard hook in order for it to fit into the leather sheath. But I also like the look of it better. And thank you all for your comments. This has been...

Re: Kiwi 4 lightweight

I very much prefer the size and shape of the original Kiwi (including blade shape and grind). Problem is I wouldn't carry it without a pocket clip. So I think it's time to resurrect the original Kiwi for a Sprint Run with upgraded steel, and put a pocket clip on it.
