Re: Can I baton with lc200n?

I think the point of this thread is that Lance needs to design a cleaver in LC200N!!!

Re: LC200N, just for Salt series, or beyond?

I could see there being some confusion and disappointment if other hardware rusted on a knife that isn't a "salt" but has a steel that's known to be rust proof. Wouldn't be Spyderco's fault but you know how people are. I figure if they can make the Caribbean a Salt then making a Military ...

Wow. I don't think I've ever tried to use Tuf Glide as a lubricant. I use it as a protectant on non-stainless blades, and it works great there. I've never tried to lubricate something with it though.

It's a dry film lubricant that just happens to also prevent corrosion. ;)

Re: Tuf-Glide Not Working?

I’ve used Tuf-Glide for years because in my testing it out performs all of the “oils” I’ve tried. What you describe is how it’s always worked for me in first 12-24 hours until it was fully dry. If that gummyness continues it might mean that your pivot needs cleaned out. The thing I love about the st...

Re: How to: Mirror polished edge from SharpMaker

Just wondering if it's possible and how to? I recently took an Ultrafine stone to a Spyderco factory edge. Using only the ultrafine (it was the bench stone which is bigger than the sharpmaker stones, but it's the same grit), I was able to put a mirror polished edge on the blade. It took four hours ...

Re: Who else is packing some LC200n? Whaddya think?

Bill: The LC200N so far behaves very well. I'm not really certain if it holds an edge better or worse than VG-10, but I feel it holds it a bit better. Both resharpen very easily. Both are great steels, but in my admittedly still limited experience with it, LC200N seems to get even sharper than VG-1...

My thoughts exactly! I thought this was such a strange looking design, but given the passage of time and new models, I now find it quite attractive.

How is the SE performance and toughness compared to H1?

Better in all regards. At this point, H1 can go bye-bye. ;)

Re: Smock Anticipation

So, the pocket clip was changed from Kevin's design because it couldn't be reversed, but the Rock Lobster had the identical clip... I wonder why the change? https://www.spyderco.com/pix/products/med/C126G_M.jpg You answered your own question, it couldn’t be reversed. Kevin wanted folks like me :p t...

Any chance for a refresh of the Rock Lobster? LC200N treatment?

Would love an updated Rock Lobster given the Salt/LC200N treatment. Make it out of Ti to go with my Spydiechef and it would be even better!

Re: Sal, any hint as to the Waterway release?

Just ordered one myself; I had no idea they would come in at such a low price point! I'm gifting it to a coworker who is a lifelong fisherman who has always struggled to find a good fishing/all-around outdoor knife. I've been waiting and watching for the "perfect" knife for him for the las...

Re: Who else is packing some LC200n? Whaddya think?

I use the green stropblock from KnivesPlus. Two light passes on each side and it's back to hair whittling with its mirror-polished edge. ;) Just like you, I fell in love with LC200N from owning a SpydieChef. I now own the Carribean PE and after seeing this thread, the Waterway. I'll buy darn near ev...

Re: Spyderco Amalgam CQI

Hey Zatx! Good looking mods! Nice job contouring the scale around the lockbar cutout. I imagine it makes lockbar access really easy. How are the ergos of the handle in use with the expanded lock cutout? The stonewashing looks quite good from what I can see. Got any pics of that stonewash finish in ...
