Re: First Knife of 2018

My first order in 2018 is GB from KW and very excited about it. I’ve been eying on this for some time since my first GB2 was purchased in couple years ago but finally pulled the trigger.

Re: Your last purchase in 2017

My last purchase on its way is black Southard. I just couldn’t pass deal on it right now while it’s still available.

I saw this in DLT's email but at $155 it's kinda pricey
I like to see DLT coming out with Para 3 M390 red g10.

It's a very well made knife. Fit and finish are great.
120 sounds more reasonable.

Any good deals available for green g10 worker? What is reasonable price for this sprint run? How do you like it if you own one? beautiful to look at, haven't found it to be practical for my edc uses, sits in a drawer. mine was a gift but I believe it was around $140. Thanks and I’m seeing price ran...

KC doesn’t take pre-orders anymore and it says Caly Jr. is discontinued now. I hope my pre-order get shipped out.

Re: What Spyderco use to sharpen their knife at factory?

I believe they're sharpened by hand on belt sanders. I think the final edge was either 400 or 600 grit lightly buffed to remove the burr. Many models are currently sharpened using a robotic jig, and the edges have somehow gotten even better. If you want to replicate it, you could use a coarser grit...

This is the 1st time I've ever saw the Brown Southard listing for more than the Black Southard.
I’m guessing that folks realize the value of Spyderco’s first original flipper design...

What Spyderco use to sharpen their knife at factory?

I’ve owned quite a few Spyderco knife and they’re all razor sharp from factory. So I was wondering how and what they used to sharpen their knives and is this something I can replicate at home.

Mine is arriving tomorrow and can’t wait for it. I’ll be sharing my first impression tomorrow. Good deal. You might need to take a little alcohol and wipe the Blade off. She'll really shine right up. Action might be just a bit stiff at first, but she'll settle in. Congratz again man. Looking forwar...

Re: what's your thought?

It looks like a good deal to me. I picked up the ManixLW in this configuration recently and like it. I already have the 2015 Forum Native5LW in S90V or else I would have probably picked this up already. It also depends on if you like safety orange. I like it for woods uses but not so much for daily...

I used to have S35VN Native 5 couple yrs ago but sold it so I'm open for suggestions. This one being CS exclusive it's kind of special in a way.

Thanks.

what's your thought?

Is this hidden gem or turned off by color of the handle? It seems to me that S90V under $100 is very attractive.

Re: Do I really "need" a Southard?

I also received shipping confirmation from KC today so it was pretty quick. Prior to pulling the trigger, I was contemplating very hard on which color to pick and choose from. At the end I went with original brown handle so I’m bit curious to hear which one is favorite among others here. Thanks I w...
