What about FRN and VG-10? Or G-10 and Gin-1?

I'll post a pic sometime next week. Expecting a couple more Spydies to arrive by then.

Probably the CF, ZDP-189 Stretch for me. It's beautifully made and functional, and is my most carried. Of course this could change.

I traded my Para away when I saw the video of this knife. It seems to have solved any problems I had with my Para. Mainly the lack of tip-up carry (which then made the tang sticking out a problem when reaching into the pocket). I definitely plan to pick one up as soon as I can. I wonder if they plan...

is there a chance it's the laser-cutting starting point?
I just checked my Robin, and there is no line in that area at all.

What does he cut with it? Apples on ceramic tiles? :)
I've been very impressed with the performance of all my 8Cr13MoV blades so far. Maybe the blade thickness is his issue? Is he getting a FFG Delica?

There are many nice, small multi-tools that could perform these tasks easily, without possibly damaging a good cutting tool. I've been carrying a Leatherman Juice for a while now, and it has come in very handy on several occasions.

I just recently got back into nice knives after many years of using cheap, dull beaters. So, I've really been enjoying cutting up cardboard boxes for recycling with many of my new Spydercos. It still amazes me the way a razor sharp, FFG blade just zips through it with such ease. But like others have...

Sorry about your (edge) loss. That's exactly why I always used to keep a Tenacious or Byrd with me at work.

I really like these knives. The Delica blade is thinner, but they do both taper to almost the same thickness. These are fantastic slicers. I wouldn't worry about them breaking under normal EDC use. But, I don't normally do much hard-use cutting. If you're really going to be using them hard, or for u...

Here are a few pics comparing a FFG delica and FFG Endura and a waved Endura and FFG Endura.

Yes, cat paws. Thanks for correcting my mis-type.

Here's the Ocelot along with a stock stretch, with hump intact.

I have a stretch, and I love the blade shape. I also just got an Ocelot in a trade, it has a similar blade shape, but has jimping on the hump near the tip of the blade. I don't know if it's a good electrician's knife, but I thought the extra jimping would make it the perfect knife for cutting my dog...

I'm a sucker for Spyderco carbon fiber knives. So, I was excited to receive my Michael Walker in the mail today. Mine also has chips in the CF around 3 of the screws, and roughness around the lanyard hole, but it's hard to see unless you look closely and it doesn't really bother me since I do plan t...
