Spyderco Forums

Thanks for the pics. It looks like this specific model variation (model and place of manufacture written on the blade, slightly curved clip with 3 screws) was manufactured between the years of 1998 and 2001. http://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C36_Military

Ciao! Military Model 36GSE - lanciato 1996-2003. Pubblica l'immagine della scritta a lama e della clip da tasca in modo che io possa essere più preciso

How would an Average Joe sharpen this, can you get 15V at 67HRC sharp on Sharpmaker, are diamond/CBN rods required or can someone get this sharp on ceramic rods during say someone's lifetime :) I had no problem sharpening similar steels on the brown rods. Reprofiling though? RIP your hands, it just...

No issues with any blade play at all in any direction with both Pac Salt 1 and 2, H1 steel versions. That huge blade play in that clip must definitely be from a manufacturing issue.

Excited to see what will be inside this pouch someday. :D

Wow, that folder looks so good! :eek:

I'll also agree that the scales are nice in person, but if you want a Salt knife that looks good too check out the Siren! Its more expensive, but by the time you factor in making new scales for the Pacific Salt itd probably be a wash. +1 from me on the Siren! Great option if you plan for plain edge...

The scales look and feel way better in person than what the pictures might suggest. Also, its a user right? Looks shouldn't matter, but functionality instead. I dont see any advantage to wood over FRN in a moist, salty environment, just my 2 cents. The Pacific Salt H1 serrated is in my top 3 best Sp...

Nah a lot of people like it from what I see, it's a great G10 color imho. Looks nice in the sun.

Shawn's 15V folder?

I would completely disagree. Its a benchstone and it can properly sharpen knives.

Are you sure? It looks like those pull-through gimmick sharpeners.

I will buy the 4 sided diamond stone next week. Thanks for your advices. This is what I have here. That thing is not good, for any knife, especially for a high carbide steel. Use a sharpmaker or some bench stones to properly sharpen it and give it a good enough edge, if not you'll be very frustrate...

I have pretty much stopped buying more tool steels because they rust in storage. Hey Lance, before speaking of such blasphemy :eek: , I suggest you try a product called "Corrosionx" . It doesn't matter if it's the gun oil, aviation or whatever variant they sell, it's the same thing market...

-why don’t standard diamond abrasives work to sharpen it? Do they fracture the edge apex like they can on conventional ceramic blades? I can only guess here, but I assume that polycrystalline diamond compounds is what works, due to certain "crumbly" characteristic of ceramic edges when no...

I'm all for a fixed blade in 3v made by Spyderco, something bushcraft/outdoors oriented. Not interested in a folder, there are other steels I would rather have in that platform (cruwear, more rex45 etc).

Knifemaker and YouTube KKnives Switzerland struck a deal with (presumably) a military weapon's manufacturer that provided him with a new ceramic material that was developed 3 months ago that has a mixture of properties of both steel (high toughness, low hardness and wear resistance before heat treat...

I wouldn't worry too much about it, try to wash it with soap and water first, in case its some sort of a thin film of oil. I've had similar bluish spots on stainless steel before, usually after cutting something acidic. Nothing to worry about, the chromium oxide layer is a living thing, constantly c...

Hey man welcome to the forum, I like your memes on your IG page lol. Anyway, you seem to have the funds, why not get a custom blade in Vanax that will be superior in performance to anything Spyderco will have to pull off for general users, geometry wise? There are a couple custom makers using it, BB...

I'm still a S110V guy at heart. Fits my needs.

I voted 4V as long as its run hard, but I would love it in CPM 10V.

Just thought I’d ask specifically about s110v because I feel like I’m addicted and will probably get another soon, lol.

Enjoy your new knife! And yea, its only a matter of time until you get the s110v also, no way you're gonna be happy with just one steel, curiosity always triumphs.
