i have almost bought a yaxell santoku in bd1n myself but changed my mind and bought a kohetsu in hap40 (65hrc) instead in the last minute because i didn't like the sweeping belly in the model yaxell has. been hearing a lot of good stuff though with bd1n and i'm surely going to try it out in my kitch...

I could get one but I'm more excited for the H1-LC200N linerless Dyad salt :eek: :confused: :eek: :confused: I totally missed that bombshell, so this is the first I'm hearing of this. Can you direct me to some info? Thanks No formal information yet from sal but he kind of hinted once or twice that ...

I have read somewhere (sorry, I forgot where) that the optimal edge angle for HAP40 is 15dps. Anything lower than that and the edge doesn't hold much. Based on your experiences with HAP40, how true is claim?

Pre-ordered 11 of them. I'll tell my wife tonight.

gifts for groomsmen?

I will be interested in Spyderco's VG1 or VG2 if they will implement it as VG10-VG1/2 dual core like how Shun did with their kitchen knives as described here: https://www.knivesshipfree.com/shun-kni ... ki-vg0018/
seems like a very interesting idea

we once hired a guy to lay and install ceramic tiles on our floor and lent him my delica to open the boxes containing the tiles. man.. this really scratched up and ruined the blade's tip

.....OH, and just to get the juices flowing, here is a pic that someone posted. Im not sure which member and where the pic is from but it is a home run :cool: The original photo is credited to Anthony Sculimbrene from his Paramilitary 2 Elmax review (which I ripped without permission :o ) I just ed...

When one of my best buddies suddenly dropped by and brought some beer while introducing his new fiance! (Yep she just said 'YES')
Good thing I have those pesky crown-capped bottle problem sorted out.

why don't you just get both? you can always gift away the one that you least prefer from the two

SRS15 and other high-end japanese steel would be awesome especially in the kitchen line (chefs knife)
i hope spyderco offers some steel variety in theirs

i'd say the good ol FRN Delica4
the design is timeless and its the same spydie that got me hooked

been using xhp in the kitchen (meglio) and it definitely rocks! the edge stays long and is quite tough.. much tougher in fact than my vg10 santoku (mcusta) being run in the same hardness. i figure cruwear will definitely excel over it a bit more

i have read somewhere about sal talking about lc200n to be offered in the kitchen line in the future and i totally agree that sprints should also be offered to kitchen knives particularly the santoku and the chef's. i'm thinking of cruwear, s110v or even the japanese hap40 and zdp

if you are worried about rust and edge holding, just get a carribean. I have a spydiechef that i don't even wipe down or wash since the day i bought it.. it hasn't rusted on me yet. this is the reason why LC200n is now my favorite stainless steel (used to be vg10)

It seems no matter what knife I buy, the Delica always gets grabbed first. I don't understand it. It isn't my favorite knife and it's ugly. But when I'm around the home and I need a knife, I keep finding myself reaching for the Delica before any other. I'm at a point where I'm about ready to trade ...

i never oil my vg10 delica. i just make sure to wash it with fresh water and wipe the blade dry after cutting food or packaging and it has never developed rust. of course i never carry it while i'm running or any physical activity which involves sweat. the only time it developed pitting was when my ...
