Spyderco Forums

I don't think I can ignore the k390 dragonfly. I'm glad it's not a sprint so they won't be difficult to get.
I will also definitely want to have the new mule.

I'm shocked to say this but I think I've cooled on the swayback a little bit :eek:

Wow this represents a lot of work and I can't think of two people in the community better suited to undertaking such a task.

Also, wow your predicted catra results being so close is **** impressive... :cool:

Customers should boycott these types of businesses.

I'm just curious but what would you have them do differently? I have way more antipathy towards place like ebay and people who buy knives just to flip them for a profit.

I got one but wow is that the fastest an exclusive has ever sold out?

1. k390 - I think this steel is a really good sweet spot for a company like spyderco. the performance is on the extreme upper end of currently available tool steels. While I think a lot of companies would not be able to deliver this steel to consumers in a form that really takes advantage of the mat...

Day one buy. This knife has been begging to be made for years. The handle on the bushcraft/proficient is so good. thanks Sal!!

That's really cool that SNK is continuing to release 4v but please tell me a pm2 will be forthcoming eventually!

It's still coming

I'll have to remember to check forums/emails so I don't miss it!

I need the exact opposite of this product: something that adds a wire clip to the regular pocket clip models!

I actually really like the mismatched scales a lot. kind of like the sun and moon chaparral. I already have this model in rex 45 but its a cool look

I'm really looking forward to this. I held off on buying a regular frn chaparral because the design of this is so striking

That's really cool that SNK is continuing to release 4v but please tell me a pm2 will be forthcoming eventually!

4v - the trendy steel at the moment but it is capable of supporting an incredibly thin geometry which I think offsets some minor tradeoffs it makes in the wear resistance category. k390 - another trendy one but I honestly can think of any way this steel could be improved for folders/fixed blades. ha...

I will instantly buy this knife. I've wanted this combination since the proficient came out.

4v please

Why is it practical for spyderco to run REX45 so hard and 4V gets run towards the lower 60s? I suspect something like the tooling acquires more wear through the density and type or carbide rather than the hardness of the steel itself. Maybe sal or someone can shed some light. I'll admit that 4V is o...

One steel that would be fantastic is CPM Rex 45. Very stable. Who wouldn't want a Puukko with Hap 40 analog? :D Especially since only Spyderco has access to the steel and isn't afraid to push the hardness. M4 : I think this is adequate but it’s less optimized for the purpose than some other choices...

According to statements like this there is no real difference between 4VE and 4V. Maybe so. That means a coupon of both made to the same specs could be sent to peters and heat treated the same way and get extremely similar results. If knifemakers wanting to produce the finest result, maybe this is ...

I also believe that V4E performs better across the board. BUT since I have only owned a few knives in either variation of this steel I can't rule out the possibility that the differences in hardness, geometry etc are responsible for the difference in performance. I might also be subject to some kind...

I think this is my favorite version of the delica. Perhaps more so than even the aogami super version.

That does look really cool. Never came around to the manix personally. Still...that looks nice. It kind of has a "retro" spyderco feel but maybe its just the hollow grind.
