Yep that's it. And next year you can add the PE and SE 52100 PM2 to that list.
Whoa whoa whoa. SE PM2, for real?

Re: OK, it's time to get serious

That's what I'm running. Works well. We think VG-10, proably black scale to begin with. See what happens. sal Let me first say that this project is amazing. A wharncliffe Delica makes a lot of sense to me, and the fact that it came out of dialogue with one of your customers makes it even better. I'...

Re: Blade Show 2016 Videos, Photo's, Reports and Gossip

Assuming it's based on, and the same size as, the three A. G. Russell "Baby" Jess Horns, the closed length will be 3.3125" and the blade will be 2.6875". Unlike them, it does not appear to have a sharpening choil, so the edge length will be 2.4375". Sorry but can you please...

Re: Reverse S vs Hawkbill blades?

I think the real question isn't how to sharpen the PE versions but how to sharpen the serrated ones! I just picked up a PE Lil' Matriarch partially because I dreaded having to sharpen the SE version...

I posted this over on bladeforums the other day but I think it's worth sharing it again here: What Knife Dealers Say About Spyderco's New MAP Policy

Re: The sharpest steel with the least time and effort?

VG-10 has a head over these other steels partially because it's so accessible and common in Spyderco's lineup.

Re: Spyderco: Ergonomic Superiority

I agree with you generally, but like any knife company with an enormous stable of designs, some knives that many love don't work for me. The Endura and Native 5 come to mind: I find the Endura finger scallops to be placed in exactly the wrong places for a comfortable grip, and the Native 5 to be a w...

Re: The Endura 4 handle confuses me

I agree. They are very similar but it is amazing how different they can feel but that is how it goes when it comes to our hands. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/bearfacedkiller/knives/IMG_2624_zpslpyafcn7.jpg They are so very similar. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/bearfacedkiller/kn...

Re: The Endura 4 handle confuses me

I agree with your critiques of the Endura handle. Compared to my Delica 4, the finger scallops are deeper and the points are sharper. Even though they are basically the same size as the scallops on the Delica, It's juuuust enough of a difference for the handle to feel uncomfortable if I'm not grippi...

Re: G10 Delica/Endura in Super Gold

I'm less concerned with what steel exactly they select for the sprint run because I know it will be exceptional - if it's going to have G10 handles I would love to see the liners nested into the scales like on the FRN version!
