Re: Price increases for 2024

Looking at prices today post increase, it seems like MAP discount indeed decreased from 30% to 25%, and MSRP stayed the same for the few examples I looked at.

Just a note to say that the blades on the full backspring g10 HH exclusive UKPKs are interchangeable with the FRN standard.
Useful info, thanks! 👍

Re: MagnaCut Fine Edge Retention

I cannot speak for Spyderco's Magnacut, but I have some experience with four CRK's in the rotation over the last year: - L Sebenza x2 (Magnacut and S45VN) - L Inkosi x2 (Magnacut and S45VN) - All of them with similar non-factory bevels (17 dps), micros (20 dps) and edge finishes (DMT Fine, 1 um diam...

Re: Sage 5 in REX 121 + burnt orange

I don't need this level of edge retention. But, REX-121 is such a way-out bonkers exotic material, it makes sense to get at least one. For science.

Re: What does “ergonomic” mean to you?

I like a wide and "flat choil", like on the Stretch or Caly, rather than the deep narrow choils like on the Native or Manix: https://i.postimg.cc/XvGB7m17/IMG-4004.jpg Example, on the Caly the choil is "flat" and almost in line with the cutting edge, making it snag less when you ...

Re: Please show some love for the Gauntlet

I also like the oval stones. Yes for an in-between grit (similar to DMT fine 600 grit), and for a 15 dps base. I think the oval stones are more effective because: - they are longer than the SM triangles - they contact the blade edge in a smaller area than the SM flats, so higher pressure at the cont...

Re: Sharpmaker Elite Edition

I vote no. I’m hoping Spyderco will introduce a Gauntlet with the ability to do 15dps as well as having more cbn stones to choose from. To me the Gauntlet with the cbn cat's eye stones are superior to the sharpmaker’s triangle stones. The stones don’t wobble around in the base on the Gauntlet like ...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I've been alternating between these two baby bulldogs over the last few weeks. They are a bit on the small side for my liking, but I appreciate the solidity and positive lockups. The AWT version is as comfortable as a pair of favourite slippers.

Re: MagnaWear Easter Egg?

I've had some microchipping issues on both grit finishes. I brought it down to 17dps and then 15dps after the first time. More of the same, and being a wear resistance junkie that doesn't care about corrosion resistance, I had a feeling it would likely disappoint...and it does. I won't be buying an...

No worries mate, good luck! The hard thing about burr removal is that you are fighting an invisible foe for the most part.
