Re: Why carry two?
Either a PE 3"-4" folder with a SE Manbug, or a SE 3"-4" folder with a PE Manbug. Plus there is always a Leatherman Skeletool in a kydex sheath on my left side, always.

Re: Spyderco 2023 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming
I was holding off on my first SPY27 until the Native Chief LW release, but that UKPK in SPY27 is mighty tempting. I feel like suppressing these feelings might be unhealthy...

Re: Am I missing out on S110V?
I've had good experience with S110V in multiple models. Once I've established the desired edge angle it becomes relatively easy to re-sharpen and I really haven't had any issues with chipping. Of course, I use my knives the way they were intended to be used.

Re: Sharpening stone(s) for a relative newbie?
Can't go wrong with the Spyderco Medium and Fine benchstones. The Ultrafine gets a little pricey though. Some diamond emulsion on a strop may get you the finished edge you want.

Re: Endura M4
Really want to try M4 and I love the Endura platform, but that mint is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. But still may pick one up for the denim micarta scales I've got coming from Ukraine.

Re: St. Nick’s Exclusive red and black Goddard!
You guys are 'next level'. Mongo (me) just pawn in game of sharpening, but I learn something most every time I hit this thread, so thanks. I will say that I'm no slouch at free-handing with diamond and ceramics, and all of my knives are pretty much sharp enough to shave with, though prolly a bit mor...

Re: Spyderco 2023 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming
Is the action any better on the K390 Lil Temperance 3 LW? I picked up an SE on the initial new release in VG-10. The comp lock is not my first preference and falls behind the backlock, cbbl, and liner lock in my 'druthers. However it works well for me in the PM2 and Sage 5 LW. That being said, my Li...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal
Yeah, I am totally in love with the Cats Eye rods, and I have both the Galley V and the Gauntlet w/both sets of rods. I would love to be able to seamlessly set those rods at 15 degrees without having to prop the bases. As it is I am stuck at 10 and 20. I will note that the SM triangle rods will fit ...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal
I heartily second this request! I wish there was a base that would hold the cat eye rods from The Gauntlet and/or the Galley V at 10°, 15° and 20°. 12.5° and 17.5° wouldn't hurt my feelings either. And while we're at it, how about some medium grit cat eye rods as well?

Rafters like 'em too. Sharp points are a no-no in inflatables.

That about covers it. Atlantic also has a choil, while the Pacific does not.

I'm just going to have to reconcile myself to the fact that I'm SOL on this one. Pity, I thought I was finally going to score an SE ARK. I got it in my cart and then my browser gave up. Oh well...

Re: Sharpmaker Diamond vs CDN Rods for Sharpening CPM 15V
I eventually wore out my Diamond rods and replaced them with CBN rods. No regrets. I've also been freehanding my SE blades on the CBN Webfoot and it's now my preferred way to sharpen SEs. I leave some coarse, and some get refined on the Golden Stone. Wish there was an 'in-between' to complete the tr...

Time for a little Webfoot love
I was one of the folks clamoring for the Webfoot and I picked one up as soon as they hit the stores. I was immediately struck by how many different useful surfaces this sharpener has. I had been freehanding with the Goldenstone for so long that the Webfoot felt familiar right off the bat. I thought ...
