Something fun on a relatively quiet Sunday. Glad you are here enjoying it with us. :D

I'm wondering who this "Lack of Interest" guy is for whom the original topic was removed. :confused:

I am pretty much "odd man out" here I believe. I have no need for corrosion resistance, and as for my blades, I much prefer a good non-stainless steel like PMA11, K-390, and Maxamet, those being my current favorites. I fully appreciate that others have their own preferences and reasons fo...

So my take on this is that the Sharpmaker is about a $50 system that is probably the best bang for the buck at that price range by a long shot. But if you up the ante to $200 or so you can decide if you want the KME or Edge Pro or who knows what else and up your game. And if you are a real edge jun...

For me I feel it comes down to sharpening equipment. Well, this is another angle on things (and I realize that I didn't just ask one question, but raised a cloud of related topics). I have wondered if improving my sharpening equipment and/or skills would get me where I think I want to get. I don't ...

I was going to offer my experiences and preferences for what have become my own favorite steels for sharpness and edge holding, but seeing that so many like VG-10, and I absolutely do not, I will refrain from causing any conflict here. I wish you well in your endeavors regarding the topic. :) Dave ...

Fruitcake obviously lacking an appreciation of bats......

Well it did provide for a bit of fun on an otherwise relatively quiet day.
Tar and feathers, anyone .....? :D

I wanna be a Corporate Shill. Something I have not yet experienced in my life.
Never be afraid to try new things.

An old dog can still be taught new tricks, if you beat him long enough.
White dogs take longer.

I think that's a really good hobby and a great way to relax and enjoy some creativity. Back in the 50's I enjoyed collecting and painting American civil war miniatures from both sides of the conflict and even received some recognition for my efforts. It appears the troops are a bit different in appe...

Gotta give him credit for tenacity ...... but little else. :rolleyes:

If all other dimensions were unchanged, I wonder how thin behind the edge sal would dare grind a .125" Manix? Could be quite interesting. Anything else ever been that "tall" yet thin before? Interesting for sure! Lock strength along with laser-like cutting efficiency. I'd like to exp...

I totally get the spine thickness/lock strength concern. I want a secure, dependable lock, just like everyone else but I use my knives for their intended use as cutting tools. I don't do "spine whacks" or stunts like opening tin cans or other exhibitions to "test" the strength of...

I certainly hope we will see a Manix 2 in G-10 with liners, and stone finished Maxamet blade of .125" thickness. I like the LW version well enough but I would prefer the G-10 with liners. I hope we might see this in either a Sprint Run or a Dealer Special, if not as a catalog item. The .145&quo...

These photos are not mine, and I've never taken a Chaparral apart myself, so there's not much I can add beyond the obvious observations that, unlike most Spyderco midlocks, the lockbar pivot screw and one of the backspacer screws are hidden under the scales and that there's a stop pin in the blade ...

Even with all the "scientific facts" and personal opinions in favor of the SE, I still won't have a knife with a SE blade. I just don't like them, never have and never will. I prefer a plain edge blade of high performance non-stainless tool steel and I like to maintain that blade insanely ...

For me it's my Blue Stepped Titanium Chaparral. I love all of my Titanium Chaps, but this version especially.

I am happy to see that the Police 4 and K390 blade steel at .118" thickness is showing up. I have been very interested in this one.
