Spyderco Forums

I thought I read somewhere that the Spyderco store staff had said there were +/- 1200 of these, which would mean that they're selling faster than most of the recent MT knives (a lot faster...). 4V has market appeal that a lot of the recent steels didn't - I would not delay very long.

I have at least one of all of the sprints and exclusives and some of the regular production knives. I used to have two complete sets, but sold one of them. There will be quite a few to add over the next year or so.

You may not be able to find that locally. KnifeKits.com sells carbide spade bits, which will work if you use them carefully. I was able to enlarge the holes with that bit. I smoked everything else I tried, literally.

They come in and out of stock. They're available only from the link in the first post. They're truly excellent (I have one).

I owned one of the titanium PE ones for a number of years and eventually sold it. I didn't like the grip, and the blade profile was so-so. I really didn't like the cobra hood - I had several unintended "wave" openings. It was beautifully made but really didn't strike any chords for me. I'd...

Taz, any idea what the target hardness range on these will be?

Agree on letting the frenzy die down.

Blue is very sensitive to lighting and post-processing, so it could be the pics rather than the actual G10 that looks so purple. We shall see soon enough.

My Brown Southard just never really flipped that well. The Black Southard is awesome..... But they are both a push button technique imo Mine doesn't flip for beans. I've tried loosening the pivot, cleaning it out thoroughly, lubing with very light grease, lubing with various oils - this one simply ...

I used to have a bunch. I dyed them back when FRN came in any color you wanted as long as it was black. I think I still have a couple of Delicas in white around.

If you're using a bench grinder for that sort of purpose, you want a low rpm grinder made for working with edged tools. Ideally yes, however I just have a normal 3000rpm grinder. It's OK with care, but I never go right to the edge. To be honest I think a low speed grinder would also be quite capabl...

I'm with the post above for most purposes. The speed is too high and the working surface is too small for doing anything other than "filework" on the spine or perhaps setting a sharpening choil.

Sal, as a reference, do you have records on what the HRC range for the MT01 was?

I hadn't seen that - thank you for posting that. And once again, thanks to Spyderco for the whole Mule program. I've been in since MT01. :spyder:

This version of the Delica makes a good pair with the Janich Endura. :spyder:

One of my sons has one of those 2-screw models with a 440V blade. Good stuff.

Something we would probably all agree on: choice is great. :spyder:

I went the other way. At one point I was extremely committed to the M2. Eventually the edge-to-spine dimension got to me and the PM2 filled that niche perfectly.

I was put off because they were playing favorites with the pricing so I didn't order one.

This is humor, right? The code was publicly posted. The knife was done as a special thank you to forum members. If this makes you unhappy, I have no idea how anyone could ever satisfy you.

Looks very brown to me, too - color's fine.
