Spyderco Forums

I use credit style cards(I say it that way, because I don't have any CCs), and tooth picks for getting in the hard to reach areas. RKBA!

Welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>co Forums, boyscout!

Good work Medic2110! It's very hard to find anything that can match the Military for hard cutting! RKBA!

I currently have FRN models, Endura, Vesuvious, Native, and Dragonfly. I have had three others as well, and none of them have had any blade play side to side nor horizontal! RKBA!

Welcome aboard, el goucho! I'm on my second Native a 3D model this time, great choice! RKBA!

Welcome to the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>co Forums, almar2! I'd go with 2 easily! By the way Al Mar is just behind Benchmade & <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>co as my favorite knives! I have a Falcon, which ...

yes...RKBA!

EEEWWWW! That Goddard sounds good! That's one FRN model I would have great confidence in! RKBA!

I for the life of me can't see any reason to harden these high performance steels 30V, D2, VG-10 etc. higher then 60RC. But I could be wrong as wrong could be. It doesn't seem to make what little gain there is in toughness, worth the extra effort it will take to restore the edge.

Thanks Zrexxer! I was sure on the baby oil, always my sorce. I wasn't sure about olive oil, which I read about on another forum.

CKE, baby oil, and olive oil are two good sorces for mineral oil. RKBA!

(In these modern high quality steels the standard Spyderco 30-40 degree may be too large to really bring out the differences between something as closely matched as S30V and VG-10. My two cents.) That's facinateing, I never thought of that, and with Joe's knowledge of metalurgy probably true!

In my own test they are indeed! For me VG-10 held it's edge ever so slightly longer, while 30V was ever so slightly easier to bring the edge back. In my test D2 hands down holds it's edge longer then either VG-10 or 30V! The down side is D2 requires 1/3 as much honeing to get the edge back! RKBA!

They're checked everytime they are carried, and when they are in need of a cleaning or lube I do it. I just recently lubed our BM 735 for the first time since it's initial lubeing when I first got it, 10 months earlier. That's about average for an EDC. RKBA!
