Spyderco Forums

If I could snap my fingers and replace every ounce of S30V with S35VN or XHP, I'd do it in a heartbeat. S30V is just no fun to sharpen. But I'm not going to pay very much more for the privilege.

Yes, I did grind it myself, and I wouldn't do it again. I totally underestimated how difficult 10v would be to grind. That took me almost 4 hours and $30 in belts. I should have sent it to a pro. I don't know how Spyderco can offer these types of steels at this price point. You emboldened me to try...

Sometimes I wonder about some of the new members that pop up here asking if their knife is real or not, if those are cloners asking us to point out all the details they could improve on.

This is the best thing I've heard all day. I'm wondering if this smaller PM2 might have a chance at knocking the Delica out of my "very best EDC knife" slot. Thanks, Sal, for the update!
