Vivi, your one handed closing of the manix XL is impressive. I can't do it. I use 2 hands the majority of the time without issue though. My pivot is rather tight though, so I don't feel unsafe depressing the lock one handed and just pressing the spine slightly against my leg to initiate closing the ...

I lost my Shaman this way. It's probably in a pawn shop in Charleston, SC for $50 right now.

after losing a Shaman and a Pacific salt ($250 down the toilet)

That is definitely a place where you shouldn't play with your knives :p

If by play you mean carry and use them, then I agree?

Maybe?

Definitely expanded my "collection". Knives were sold, but more were purchased. Glad to have k390, 4V, and Maxamet (tomorrow unfortunately, arriving late). Finally snagged a titanium military and a bada** manix XL. Even after losing a Shaman and a Pacific salt ($250 down the toilet), it wa...

Had two knives tested a while back by Kurt- Delica M390- 61.4 and 61.8 Urban AEB-L- 59.1 and 59.3 Curious to see what other numbers might be out there for the M390 Delica. Respectable numbers here that seem to be dismissed because it's not 62(+) :rolleyes:. I didn't dismiss other HRC ratings. I was...

Glad you found an Atoma. I will be purchasing a DMT coarse and extra coarse double sided plate the polka dot 8 inch plate. After watching several of Vivis video the knives are getting a finish I have not seen with other sharpener or continuous plated stones. When the diamond grains on the plate wea...

What model is this?

BBS just seems like a small grocery store with high prices. There's never more than 2 cars in the parking lot (as opposed to Walmart being absolutely packed), and some people like that.

I have an Atoma 400 on the way. I did Amazon because I value the fast shipping and I just started my week off. I took another look at the reviews and the 2 people that said the product had changed and that it smoothed out over a handful of sharpenings were from 2017. Plenty of awesome reviews from 2...

It's not so bad though. I've mirror polished a s90v military before. Nothing too crazy. I once tried polish the washer area on my K390 Police and I gave up pretty quickly. Anyway, I am really excited for OP response, pics would be even better. Maybe he is polishing it right now :P That's 5-6 HRC po...

Good luck polishing S90V with hands. That is going to take a lot of time and sandpaper.

I like that there's still some love for this model out there. Been carrying mine for about 4 days. With copper flytanium scales and a brass lock actuator (not sure what that's called), it's a hefty beast. Over 9oz and I love it.

How's the smoothness on the brass cage?

Flawless.

Deep in the woods of Georgia, surrounded by strange people.

o.o

I can relate!

I REALLY wish Byrd's had a round spydie hole. I get appeal of the byrd's eye hole, but every time I open a byrd I miss the round spydie hole. This could potentially be a turn off for some users. I think the round hole looks better as well.

Grew up in Cape Hatteras, NC. I've lived in wilmington, NC. I've lived in Dania Beach, Florida. I currently live in the country in Georgia, but I'm rarely here. I could be anywhere on the east coast on any given day. I work.
