Wow that is slim. Appreciate it!

I get the point of the UK Pen Knife - but I also think it puts the knife "into a box" Para 3 is going to be interesting when the PM2 mk2 comes out Police is an homage to the original police models, but is much much more at this point I love the shrub and native series of naming Calypso is ...

Why would it not be your typical 420 liners? So weird

Find someone with a pmi spectrometer and you'll figure out what steel is what real quickly

BladeHQ hasn't gotten theirs yet - a day a go, someone on Instagram asked about them and their reply was when they get them, they'll go live - there's a sliver or hope

I know, old thread - but anyone have a spine shot? How thin are the handles and what alternatives are there in the current line up?

So a Spyderco direct massdrop?

How do you sharpen that, even on a sharpmaker?
I'd be so nervous about blunting the tip!
The first time I opened a dodo, I got cut... Ordered one for a friend, flicked it open, and the tip got me...

Pete brought a lot of innovation to the knife world

Is the junction a good all around camp knife of is the handle too thin for that?

St Nick's does an exclusive- gone in 4 minutes and lots of angry forumites - bbs does one, and charges a few bucks more and it sits for a bit... Those combo deals are actually a decent value

The two Randalls I ordered I consider presents for my future self

Pakkawood Endura feels premium- but you pay the price too
Pakkawood is also barely wood - it's pretty much "wood micarta"

How do you take damage out of a SE edge? (Are the corners on a cbn rod usable?) I bought, tried sharpening, and then sold a knife because I could not get rid of the rolled serrations.

BD1. It gets incredibly sharp effortlessly. Very high corrosion resistance. Edge holding is about even with VG10 for me. Works well at thin angles. Works well with both polished and toothy edges. Tough for a stainless. It's one of my favorite steels. I'd love to see more Spydercos in it. I know bd1...

Striderco would be the lionspy right?

Not a fan of that style Damascus - has there ever been a damasteel or Devin Thomas model?

Funny the zt0450 was brought up - I was considering it as a mantra 2 alternative before the price drop, but I didn't want to live with the thick grind

The mantra 2 blade is (to me) almost kinda Phil Wilson-ish

A lot of people didn't like how awkward the grind was on the mantra 3 (the almost recurve, which I think was there to clear the compression lock release)

Is 4v, rex45, k390 significantly harder to sharpen than m4? I'm guessing diamond stones are a necessity. Does maxamet work as an alternative to the above mentioned steels - more accessible without chasing Sprint runs

I've only touched up m4, and am more used to simple steels.
