Will the bottom of the mug be offered in both coarse and fine? :)

I'm in for a CBN mug :D

I'm totally in for a "money is no object" baby horn, it's one of the few models in my collection that I love so much that I got a backup copy. However, I'm not sure the market is there for it - the sprint model is still available at some dealers 3 years after release, which blows my mind, ...

Where you at

yeah you rite!

Yes, yes yes yes, yes please!! I'd love a tough SE (H1?) and a wear resistant PE (not picky). Though who am I kidding, I'll be in for whatever flavor wharnie we might get.

Anybody got any updates or guesses when we're going to see this guy drop? And who else is as excited as me???

Franken-HULK native today - reground Rex45 blade (.010" bte) in linerless forest green G10 w/ purple BWL hardware :D

It was MXG in plain sight all along!! Thanks SG :D

Hey y'all,

Couldn't spot it on a previous thread and my googlefu is failing me - does anyone know if there are makers that make a clip for the native 5 lw? It seems to me like it's a unique screw configuration amongst spydies (but I could be wrong about that). Looking to spruce up my maxamet :cool:

I would love to see more high hollow grinds in the rotation, though I wonder what the cost premium increase would look like. However, to me, a hollow grind only makes sense on thicker blade stocks, and I tend to go for slim stock anyway (chaparral, watu, etc). Maybe a HHG native / chief could be rad...

Oh man, been fiending for this one for years, yay!!! Please don't hurt me if I chop this down to a 7" OAL. Looking at the specs the Swayback's bigger than I thought it would be. Kind of disappointed it doesn't have the 3" blade that I envisioned. Oh well! I'm still in I was thinking the s...

I didn't see an alert thread for this guy yet so wanted to start it up. Alert threads have always been way better for me to actually snag a sprint than in-stock notifications or blind luck. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a chief yet, but the Native has been my #1 carry for the year and w...

Next in my sights for chopping is the Kapara...

Color me HIGHLY interested - will be keeping an eye out for this one so I can send you a commission when it's all worked out :D

Love it, as I love all of your work oh chopmaster, our chopmaster!

Hi Kat, The CBN stones are more for re-profiling the edge. Light strokes. I use them to make sure the two sides of the edge are met. It is possible that you can get some edges shaving sharp with just CBN. We have a new CBN flat stone with 400 mesh on one side and 1,000 mesh on the other side. I sha...

I just did the swap, swapping both the blades and lockbars to keep each set paired. Came out very well! I needed to really press the G10 back together to eliminate any gap between the scales and the lockbar/backspacer, but once I got it fully seated it's good to go!

I swapped a LW Native 5 Rex 45 with a G10 Rex 45 and it went fine. They're both pretty easy to assemble. I didn't notice any issues on either once I got them reassembled. (got a used Rex 45 G-10 which had a blade which had been used pretty rough already, and wanted to put that on the beater LW and ...

I am so in for the all the way. Love my G10 Caly 3s, but the lw platform is such a beautiful thing. Here's hoping it comes to pass :D

Is it just my imagination, or is the FRN from Golden even sharper than the Seki and Taichung FRN? Boy this is some grippy stuff. Going to need a touch of sanding to save my pockets, but I love the light weight and durability of the material.
