Sharpest Steel
Out of curiosity which steel has the potential to be the sharpest? This may be hard to determine, but I thought I would ask for opinions/results. To be fair let's take one model say a Para 2 with a 30 inclusive bevel with an acceptable heat treat for that steel. Trying to eliminate the variables do ...

Re: Slipit as a base for testing new steels
I like the idea of bringing the original Mule back. Seems that K390, M390 and Cruwear have been popular with sprints and exclusives. I think a Mule in these steels would sell well. Put me down for a couple.

Re: Salty 2 Two
I used the liquid Navy Blue. The longer you leave it in the dye the darker blue it gets. Used a Royal Blue on a Salt 1 and it came out Turquoise. They make a Denim Blue, but Navy gives a deeper blue.

Put me down for at least one. Doesn't matter if it is H1, LC or VG10.

Re: Salty 2 Two
Glad to see some love for the Salt 2. I have quite a few larger ones, Manix 2, Para 2, and Pac salts. But the Salt 2 or Delica end up in My front left pocket because of the size. For those that don't like the yellow, that can be changed. Mine is now a Denim blue thanks to Rit Dye. This one also has ...

Salty 2 Two
Yep, My number 2 choice for daily carry is the Salt 2 (SE) . The Delica holds the number 1 spot. What I find interesting is that it is not talked about much in this forum.
For my use it is ideal. The size is perfect, it's rust proof and very light weight. Thoughts?

Re: Stretched Stretch - continued from Straight spine thread
I have a Stretch 2 and I much prefer the Endela. They are very similar in size and don't care for the choil on the Stretch. With that said, I would not be interested in a stretched Stretch.
Looking forward to seeing more choices in the Endela.

Re: Smile, It's a Delica
This Delica habit is getting pricey. Another one should be here tomorrow. My first combo-edge in black. Just when I thought I was done for 2019, Knifeworks announced the Delica with S90V. You know I can't pass on this one. That's it for 2019 I hope. Thank you Spyderco upping the Delica choices. Seem...

Re: Compendium of tips for sharpening serrated knives
Yes, I too am interested in seeing how the Serrations are done. Based on my SE blades, it looks like the process differs from model to model. On my Pac Salts the scallops are deeper which line up in the SM with the 30 degree slots. The Salt 2's line up with the 40 slots. The Salt 2 Serrations are sh...

Re: Are you done with 2019, Spydie wise? What do you wish for in 2020?
Oh no I'm not done for 2019. Got a Black Delica CE and a Waterway on the way. That should wrap up the year. Who knows what will be coming out in 2020. Never say never.
Looking forward to K390 Delica from Seki.

Go ahead and pull the trigger on that Wharnie. The Delica is one of the best values in the Spyderco line.

Re: New user - need some assistance please! (Stretch 2 vs. Endura Wharny)
Welcome to the forum Giant. I have a Stretch 2 and several Endura's. I much prefer the Endela, which is very similar in size. They aren't carried much as I prefer the Delica. I would suggest handling both of the models your interested in, if possible.

Re: The Superior Delica
The Delica by far is my favorite EDC. Until recently, the choice of steel was pretty limited. I was tickled to death when the Cruwear and M390 were released. Matter of fact I ordered a second M390 to have as a backup. Seems to me the newer models (Para) have been the ones with more choices. Maybe th...

Just received my second Delica M390 from BBS. I've not had a problem with them at all. Got to give them credit for picking models that sell well.

Re: Compendium of tips for sharpening serrated knives
For those that strop their SE blades, which I think refines the edge, I tried something new. Took a block of Basswood and sanded one of the edges to match the profile of the large scallops. Then loaded it with Flexcut stropping compound.A few edge trailing passes on each scallop really brings out a ...

Re: Smile, It's a Delica
I'm glad to see others feel the same way regarding the Delica. As I said earlier, I own quite a few different models, but for me the Delica hits the sweet spot. Probably the 2 key features are the size and weight (FRN). There is another model that I carry frequently. Imagine if a Pac Salt and an End...
