Hard to have sympathy for a guy who has in his possession one of 2 or 3 prototypes that will ever be made in s30v..

But thanks for getting it done!

How does Hap40 compare to M4 and ZDP189 in edge retention and toughness? I have the original Caly3 in laminated ZDP, and wonder what Hap40 brings to the table? it brings ease of sharpening, mostly. in my experience, hap40 has similar corrosion resistance, edge retention and toughness to m4. zdp lik...

:eek:

Just got mine today. Thanks Paul, i'm impressed. Those key rings look pretty nice too, so here goes: Overall, I think its an elegant design. It seems like it takes a lot of design cues from Sal's own designs, with the 50/50 choil and how the lines of knife flow nicely in both the open and closed pos...

just got my shipping notice from kw on the ouroboros that i had on preorder

Smoky mountain knifeworks did a 20% off deal last year. Ran it again this past Labor Day too. Most of their pricing is set at MAP too IIRC

i strongly prefer the lightweights and find em plenty smooth. really looking forward to that maxamet lw. hope to see many more lw sprints/exclusives. whatever happened to the s90v/cpm154 sprint that was supposed to be released in the spring?? or the orange cs lw exclusive? if those are actually rele...

Genuine Spyderco products can come with a glossy brochure-style insert (known as a "PIG" or "Product Information Guide"), a letter printed on half-size Spyderco letterhead, or nothing at all. Knives with special steel may come with two PIGs--one for the knife model and one expla...

lol tvenuto always has the perfect gifs

Until it was announced recently my #1 would've been the maxamet manix 2 lw. My heart skipped a beat when I read the spyderbyte. I'd also like to see native lw with a wire clip, although there's pretty much no chance of it. Also a Michael walker sprint with a wire clip would be awesome. Sprint bolste...

im with you on this. not a big fan of the suminagashi pattern but do like bolsters. post a pic if you try it!

is this really true? I would have thought HT would come after blades are cut out and ground to avoid excessive wear on their belts grinding hardened steel..

I'd also like to see some stabilized highly figured exotic wood scales.

The science and economics seem sound. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/jabba359/Random%20Stuff/Make%20more%20moneys_zpsbh37iyzc.jpg May I PLEASE have your permission to save a copy of this, print it out, and hang it? You made this right? My gut hurts.. why is this so funny to me? "Knifes&...

i have a gen 1 wicked edge that i use just for reprofiling. use a sharpmaker for maintaining. these are the issues ive had: - clamp has weakened over time so that it doesnt hold blade perfectly steady. - spydercos are mostly ffg so you're not getting flush grip with primary grind. very difficult to ...

manix 2 composite sprint, ouroboros, wharnie delica, and the return of the caly! hopefully theres also a future sprint of a 3" folder in maxamet. really curious about this steel but not interested in a mule or custom.

im far from a metallurgical expert, but i'd go with m4 for edc. admittedly i only have the millie in 52100 and haven't put it to a lot of use, but it stains way easier than my m4 blades (manix, mantra, pm2). in fact i find that the corrosion resistance of m4 is really pretty good relative to 52100 o...

You want to give the manix a circumcision?
