Re: Hey Sal, any chance of a Vanax SC mule??
I do not know if Spyderco's discussions with Uddeholm have resulted in any sort of progress with regard to purchasing Vanax and running it on any production knives. It's very expensive and I'm sure the discussions (negotiations) on that end are quite important. That said, while I obviously don't kno...

Re: What percentage of your Spyderco collection consists of fixed blades?
My collection fluctuates frequently, but at the moment I have about 30% fixed blades. That's if I don't count the blades hanging on the wall in my shop that I haven't finished building. 11 of my 24 fixed blades are Spydercos and 7 of those are Mules. Most of my fixed blades are custom knives I've ma...

Re: M390 CTS-204P 20CV :) Hype Steel
Since M390, CTS-204P and Latrobe 20CV are for all intents and purposes the same thing it's definitely the heat treatment that is making all the difference that people experience. Yesterday I was sharpening a Benchmade S90V blade and found it to be as easy to sharpen as my S35VN Para 2. This is defin...

Re: When / where was the first time you heard of or saw a spyderco?
... If you could pick any Bohler Steel for a new "hard user" type Saber Ground Delica sprint, which would you pick and why?... The geometry of a sabre ground Delica makes the blade inherently tough as it is so within the context of your criteria, my personal preference would be something ...

Re: When / where was the first time you heard of or saw a spyderco?
I'm surprised your Delica's blade is in such good shape since the Youtube experts have told us that a knife without a sharpening choil will develop a recurve from sharpening... Anyway, beautiful knives. Thank you. Although this Delica hasn't been in my rotation for many years now, I can definitely ...

Re: When / where was the first time you heard of or saw a spyderco?
In 1991 at the Valley Indoor Swapmeet near my house in So.Cal there was a booth selling these "weird looking" knives with holes in the blades. A guy was demonstrating how easy it was to open with one hand. I thought they looked practical and I bought both, the small one and the big one. Th...

Re: Rising Ocean Levels?
When someone says they "believe" something about climate change that is opposite of what scientists around the globe agree to be factual I simply have to assume that person has not yet taken the time to look into the facts. I will also say I don't blame anyone for not doing the research an...

Re: Toughest stainless steel ?
I'm struggling to understand the relevance of comparing Vanax to Vanadis 4E or Vanadis 8. Extreme corrosion resistance is the context with which Vanax is a highly desirable knife steel. Can you help me understand what you're trying to say when you compare these? Sure, Vanax has occasionally been ca...
