Re: 2019 Knife Plans

Continue working on self control :) The amount of time (and money) I spend buying and selling knives has been part of the hobby for me, but I really think it could be better spent, even if it is still related to knives. I still have few knives on preorder (Bow River, Providence) and a few in my sig...

Re: 2019 Knife Plans

I’d like to see what other steels are like. I went from a Tenacious 8cr13mov to S110V, and that’s all I have is S110V of my only (2) knives. I’d like to try Maxamet, maybe even CPM M4. Oh and I want the (400) grit wicked edge diamond stones for finishing an edge with. I go from 2-6-8-10-12-14. I hav...

Re: Flicking Spydies with the index finger

When I got my first Spyderco, I assumed the hole was to be used with the thumb to open the blade. But it felt wird, and it seemed slow and the knife actually needs to rotate some if you use your thumb. I kept practicing and practicing and I have gotten very good with opening with either my middle fi...

Re: 2019 Knife Plans

I’m tired of being an edge junky too. You couldn’t have stated it better. My Knives will be perfect all around, super razor sharp too, and I go messing with adjusting angles and such just for the heck of it, and testing performance, retention, just wasting steel, and grinding away perfectly good met...

Wow that Maxamet really stains fast! I really like that. It looks worn, with a nice patina

Re: If you could only keep one.

For those of you who said "Military" "PM2", does it matter what steel? Would you be fine with standard S30V, or would you want one of the sprints? I think if I were to have but one knife, I'd probably want something easy(-ier) to sharpen. I own (2) knives in total, A Spyderco Pa...

Re: If you could only keep one.

If you could only keep one Spyderco out of all the models you have, or maybe it’s a model you don’t have yet, only one knife to do everything you asked it to do! Which model is it? And what steel is the blade in? And what knives are you leaving behind? You must leave the rest, and only pick one! Oh...

Re: Kapara vs. PM2 - Box cutting.

So 45 degrees helps cutting? I’m gonna try this.

Y’all have me wanting to try some steeep angles. I’m about to see how low my wicked edge can go. Maybe 12dps before the stones rub the clamp.

Re: If you could only keep one.

I’d pick my Spyderco Military Blurple.

I like my PM2, but the blade may be a little short.

Re: Sharpening tips

I usually just get a paper slicing sharp edge at 200 grit, it feels decently sticky sharp. After I’ve finished that, I make sure I cannot see the edge, or any silver lines on it, after this I very lightly sharpen it still utilizing 200 grit, only the weight of the stones. A good edge to me, It almo...

Re: Fixed Blade Hawkbill: We Need To Talk

Use a Spyderco hole on the blade, hawkbill, G10, or FRN grips, colored handle that matches the sheath color! Use some thin grips that are almost like a folding knife handle shape. Put the Symbols in the blade like on the PM2, PM3 etc. etc.

And, I want one!

Re: New Model Dropped: Calypso Jr. Super Blue sprint run (PICS)

What is superblue equivalent to? A steel I could relate to maybe?

Something about the words; “Blue and “Super” being used together sounds exciting! Haha

Re: Where can I find this knife? And what is it?

After using s110v exclusively for months, my interest in trying s125v is basically gone. I'm just not a fan of how the class of steel behaves, even though I appreciate it's properties/characteristics at the same time. In contrast, I'm willing to bet using 10v (or a11/k390) would make me want to try...

Re: Where can I find this knife? And what is it?

I think the first knife is one of Mr Wilson’s Southforks and the other is one of his Bow Rivers (?). The Spyderco collaboration Southfork (S90V) was discontinued last year. Sprig also discontinued and Southfork. http://i.imgur.com/35uk59M.jpg I really like the top knife with the leaf blade shape. I...

If this is not a Spyderco, my apologies; but I keep getting mixed findings in what it is exactly. Anyways, I keep seeing this knife In either CPM S110V, or S125V. I know it is a Phil Wilson? Or Spyderco? I want one. And it looks like it may be $300-400 bucks , though pretty expensive. Can anyone fil...
