Re: Would s110v family sale better w/o Blurple?

I think the price and "sharpening horror stories" drive people away more than color. Though the sharpening issue is way overblown in my opinion, it’s really not that bad. Blurple and S110V is a great combo in my opinion. It’s interesting to see how polarizing the color thing is. Personally...

Re: I should uh, probably get a Chaparral. Right?

Get a chap. I sold my FRN when I bought the sun & moon and am currently regretting it and will be buying it again lol. It’s a really great knife with a slicey blade and really nice ergonomics. The lockbar issue is completely overblown IMO.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Just found an old Jester in great almost new condition. Was contemplating getting a lady/manbug and it popped up out of nowhere, so I pulled the trigger. Steel isn’t as good as the 'bugs, but it’s such a neat little knife I couldn’t help it. Don’t mind a little extra sharpening anyway. In my mind it...

Re: Pac salt green frn lc200n shipping to dealers!

Maybe they'll surprise us with an LC Tasman or wharnie, too! That would be more of a surprise to me given the Tasman Salt (and Lil Matriarch) are hollow ground, not FFG. But knowing Spyderco’s tenacity to make every model in every color way these days, I wouldn’t bet against it! ;) :D Pretty sure E...

Re: Hawkbill dragonfly sharpening

JuPaul, thanks for linking that video, seeing someone else actually doing a hawkbill is very helpful. I actually found that before and skipped right past the hawkbill :rolleyes: :o Oops! Doc Dan I think the same thing is going to happen to me. I put off serrated blades for so long, but with all the ...

Re: Hawkbill dragonfly sharpening

Thank you for the responses! I will give it another go when I have some free time in the next few days. Really appreciate the help, will let y'all know how it turns out. Probably need to have a bit more patience with it than I've given it haha.

Hawkbill dragonfly sharpening

So who’s got a good method of sharpening the serrated hawkbill dragonfly? I can’t seem to find much about sharpening serrations on a hawkbill style blade. Tried a few methods and while it does get sharper than it was, it’s still not as sharp as I’d like it to be, and it seems certain parts of the bl...

Re: Watu - aftermarket scales?

Somehow this thing in a more budget-, beater version would have some appeal... lets say FRN and S30V / VG10 ? This is a great idea! I put some trifect scales on my watu so now it’s designated for “fancy man" use, but everything about the knife is just great for working as well. I’d buy second ...

Re: My wish list for future Spyderco variations... 2 items

I’d like to see a de-salted Siren. Love my siren, love the LC200N, love that it’s a salt and I don’t have to worry about it. But I think it’s a great knife regardless of the corrosion resistance and would love to see it in a tool steel as well.

Do you buy the Politician or does the Politician buy you?
Either way... you pay
You buy the politician, then they let you know you didn’t pay enough for it and charge you again.

Re: 100% of people agree on this one thing!

Honestly I’m kinda bored of OD green, or anything in that realm. K390 manix sounds tasty though.

How about tan? Then we can call it the Tanix.

Vanax Pm2 would be cool, but Vanax siren would be cooler :cool:

I’m just loving my siren so much, and need an excuse for a second one. Vanax would be perfect.

Pm2
Delica
All salts

Everything else has gone wrong this year, assuming this will follow suit.

Next reveal will be all friction folders in 5Cr.

Re: Collection Limiting Rules

The only real hard rule I have is everything gets used or carried. If I find myself not carrying, out it goes. No knives with no purpose. Other rules that are a bit more flexible are only one knife of any given color, and one knife per steel. These are general guidelines though, as there is only so ...
