Spyderco Forums

I hang on to them in case I want to sell the knife later. Haven't sold any yet though.

Not a big deal. Knives will be for sale and I'll buy the ones that interest me.

I can deal with right handed frame and liner locks, but occluded Spyderholes mean I won't buy the knife. That's saved me a lot of money.

I'm carrying my Gayle Bradley tonight.

Original Poster here again. Sal, I can't thank you enough for the favor of a reply! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! I also want to extend my appreciation to those who sympathized and understood my frustration. As for some of the responses I've received I find it interesting that replyi...

Did you use a quality Torx driver like Wiha brand? I've never had an issue when using a Wiha driver.

I use BKF and a sponge or rag. Make a paste, scrub lightly, wash it off. Bar Keeper's Friend is an amazing product for cleaning a polishing metal. If they ever come up with a product that beats BKF I will switch to it immediately. I'm always looking for something better. But it's been well over 15 ...

Norton crystolon or india 8" bench stone. Each has a coarse and fine side. They run $20.

I'd buy one in a lefty version. I can't do right-handed compression locks. My friend is a lefty and there is only one (I think) left hand compression knife and it the s30v PM2 and he loves it. But, he is frustrated that's all. Especially when he sees the variety of PM2s out there. I own that one an...

Chaparral Ti today. Got it recently at the discontinued discount price.

I sharpen freehand, but have always followed the advice of the person who taught me 66 years ago and increased the angle between the blade and the stone "a bit" for the last stroke or two on each side. Don't know if that counts as a microbevel or not, don't really care either. That's exac...

Fixed blade.

Other than that, who knows. Without precise, controlled testing for specific scenarios there's no way to know.

Post pictures of it. It would be interesting to see. You can use imgur.com easily and it's free.

Until they use 3V, CPM Cruwear is the toughest steel available in a Spyderco folder. If this is useful for the Para 3 is another question: only you can decide.

Spyderco Tuff.

If it didn't have an occluded Spyderhole for left handed opening I'd buy one.

Don't risk severe infection. Go to a doctor ASAP.

For the same reason that S30V went from premium to garbage steel that chips on everything. People repeat incorrect statements until it's the new normal.

Not as easily as 1095 but it won't take long. Avoid food prep.

Anyone can buy a 10 inch chefs knife at Walmart. Seems incredibly silly to ban pocketknives when the more dangerous item has no restrictions at all.
