Major concern in Amsterdam was manipulating the lock though, so more scalloping around the ball is #1

I second this sentiment.

or confusing mint for emerald ? :D

I thought there already was a brown FRN Endura in production?

This variant will certainly be a learning experience for Spyderco and those who think they want Damascus, but who haven't quite nailed down why they want it... At this point in metallurgy there's no good reason for forge welded laminate blades except for the mystique and aesthetic qualities it offe...

Thanks....then it's not just me.

...the pattern on your orange jigged bone Damascus looks nice.....on the Foliage Green one I bought, the pattern doesn't begin until about a third of way up from the edge on one side of the blade. I'll try and post a photo so you can see. There is a thick, solid black section and then eight wavy li...

Perhaps you're just not happy with this Damascus knife. Personally I find the modern green scales inconsistent with the ancient looking Damascus blade. I find my orange jigged bone Damascus the most beautiful knife in my Spyderco collection.URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/user/bullhead3989/media/IM...

I agree Diamondback. Some people just like to own poorly made things. I just offered to send it to Nick Shabazz to have him review it. Hope he accepts. He will either like it or not, I don't care as long as he gives his honest opinion about it and I know he will. I appreciate your perspective....bu...

I bought one...and I'm not a fan. The pattern on one side of the blade doesn't begin until about a third of the way up the edge, and on the other side it begins just a bit above the edge. I know it's just a cosmetic complaint, and probably within what Spyderco would call "manufacturing toleranc...

Is there much of a significant difference in performance between BD1 and 8Cr13MoV ? I see BD1 has a tiny bit more carbon and some more Chromium so I imagine that it's more rust resistant? I don't imagine there would be all that much difference in cutting performance/edge retention? Do I have that ri...

Typically the forum knife is traditionally a native...but i'd like to see an endura in CPM S35VN with g-10.

Anyone else think the price on the enuff is a little high for a small pinned frn fixed with an injection molded sheath. if these were in the $70 range I think they would be a reasonable buy.

I love VG-10...the price/performance ratio is so appealing, and with good heat treat, blade design, and a flat grind the edge holds for a pretty good while and is so easy to maintain and bring back to function. It's pretty tough and rust resistant, too. Heck, I like AUS8, 440C, ATS-34, and the old J...

Working weekdays one of the following :
Persistence
Caly 3.5 VG-10
Sage 2
Delica
Nishijin R

Weekends one of the following :
Endura VG-10 or ZDP
Stretch VG-10
Large Lum Chinese
Tenacious
Benchmade H&K 14715BK-1

I haven't laughed so had in ages....enjoyed the UN sponsored moose census article as well. Good show!

Looks like mine as well....fit and finish is mediocre at best, but then I didn't spend much.

There once was a knife nut named Bruno,
who said about blade steel I do know,
"VG-10 is just fine,
S30V most divine,
but M4 is numero uno!"

M4 Chinook.

AUS8A, VG10, AND CARBON 1095 get my vote....all stupid simple to put an edge on.
