Spyderco Forums

My K390 Delica has been a steady companion at work for a while now. I rotate for fun once in a while, or if work conditions or demands shift, yet the K390 Delica is unobtrusively good and just performs.

I've been on this GEC and Waynorth kick the past few months. I really lucked out last week- I hadn't expected to get the white bone Waynorth...

.... but here it is with my perennially most-precious Spyderco:

That's a very nice quartet you have there!

Thanks, Rick!

The Kris and the SpydieChef are always pleasing. As much as i like and use my Glesser designed Spydercos, these two are top of my collection, along with these two Waynorths.

Is there a preferred side to make coarse or fine based on the user's handedness? I swap them over after about five sharpenings, as the coarse side tends to lose more metal over time from the more aggressive rod. Switching the rods balances the bevels out again before it becomes too wonky. Thanks. M...

Sal leaks something vague. Excitement ensues. Then the wait will continue.



It looks slim and with a smallish round hole.

Could be very cool. Scale contouring is curious.

Happy birthday, Larrin! Thanks for all your great work and contributions to cutlery.

Nice. Those are big boys. Is that the whittler pattern? 98 cattle. I have a 2 of the 98 whittlers. :cheap-sunglasses Here's a shot in my homemade light box.

I tried searching and couldn't find it, but there was a member here that got his K390/G10 Police 4 cerakoted. He'd be a good person to talk to. It was DLC, done by Josh at REK. looks like Marty Bill hasn't been around here lately tho. The P4 DLC job I had https://www.razoredgeknives.com/ do is comp...

That 18-8 stainless at Rockwell B 85 sure is a champ for sharpening.

...nice big gooey burr.

G10 N5 would be my pick.

I am a big proponent of a G10 Native 5 salt as well as a G10 Chief salt. I'm sure I've asked for both before.

The SpydieChef has long been my premium salt knife, but I'd also like a premium salt backlock other than the Siren.

Alex, hope you're well and occasionally come here to read the drivel.

Or eat more ice cream, obviously. That would tighten up my shorts.

Or get shorts with suspenders.
Both options should give you a charming appearance that I'll expect would have some innate decriminalizing properties.

Would you go with lederhosen, Norrona, or maybe Filson for more chafing?

Tried to talk myself into this knife several times: cool factor, retro factor, volcano texturing, never had any 4v..... just a really cool knife all around. Just not for me, size-wise, so I'd rather leave it for someone else to enjoy. Grabbed a Native Magnacut PE instead to go with my SE, which I t...
