No, that isn't what I said. I didn't say all, I said 'many'. This leaves it open for those who choose to exclude themselves from that category. I was putting forth the effort to avoid using the term 'fanboy' as it seems to have an unpopular, negative stigma around here. It wouldn't hurt for you to ...

The real question is what are the real requirement that should flow to knifemakers? I don't really think there is as much need for long term wilderness survival and knives-as-weapons as would be indicated walking around the average knife counter. OP wasn't snarky at all. We could have a lot more sna...

Well I didn't notice an age being given. If you feel so inclined to carbon date and parent him (or her) have a blast. My point is there are enough issues with the post and logic without going into age. Bringing the backhand-bias isn't necessary, IMHO but I'm only 13 :p . Attributing immature behavi...

Bashing? How about representing a consistent image of how the world works. Sweet and kind to children is often a disservice. OP: If you have a business proposal to make to the Spyderco company, this is not the appropriate place to do it. Would also suggest you whine elsewhere. Do what everyone else ...

More than you know!......Doc :) Apparently more than I know.. I can't find anything custom in CTS 204P and only the Microtech whaleshark (for $375) in a production model. For M390 I see lots of posts on how expensive the steel is and how hard it is to work with but nothing in the way of advertised ...

http://www.spyderco.com/byte/june2012/ <snip> When production knife prices start reaching the pricing of Custom Made Knives....you just might see a shift in buyer demands......Doc :) This is certainly a rational view, but how many custom makers are offering M390, CTS 204P, or even CTS XHP at the HT...

- Given all the constraints, Spyderco prices are about what they should be. Probably a bit low all things considered. $140 for a CTS 204P Para w/G10? Who else has a deal like that? - I would rather have great steels and quality construction than products built to a lower price point. When you lower ...

I know what you mean as there are some hobbies that simply cost too much for me to participate in the way I would like if I were rich. On Spyderco pricing , there are several things play into a companies pricing: - Cost of production -- Labor (design and development, manufacturing, distribution) -- ...

Excellent question. This is something worth doing in the sheer enjoyment of steel and knives. There are several paths. The one that works for me is 6 micron DMT paste on a smooth hardwood block (sharpen like you're stropping). Then 3 micron DMT paste on a (different) smooth hardwood block. Then gree...

I have several small utility fixed blades in CPM 154 (made by A.B. Schaller in ABQ, NM) scattered around the place. They may not match the M390 Mule in standing up to overt abuse but they sharpen up very nicely and I've found them to maintain their sharpness quite well. When cost is considered, I th...

Completely agree that one person's experiences are anecdotal, not statistical. Still, by way of user feedback, I've gone out of my way with the M390 Mule to see how the edge would hold up. I've been surprised at how well it has performed. I'm not running particularly fine angles (probably 36 deg inc...
