Re: Experienced Serrated Edge K390 users wanted.
I have three K390 knives with serrated edges, which have seen heavy to light usage. I just examined one under magnification. There is a lot of inconsistency of the serration tips, indicating wear through use. I don't consider this a problem, and would expect to see similar wear on any serrated knif...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
Yeah, sort of. To me, the quintessential Spyderco styling is evident in the lightweight Delica/Endela/Endura/Police knives. They have the handle, blade, lock, and ergonomics, that shout, "Spyderco!" The primarily differences are the size of each knife. But from afar, they look alike. What...

Re: Good second Spyderco
There have already been some nice suggestions my thoughts go towards an entry level Manix 2 Lwt . Hey, Joelc73 , I've got to agree here. The Manix 2 is very different with its caged ball bearing lock. It's super easy to use one handed, and is good in either the right or left hand. The blade is usef...

Re: Happy Easter!... And your carry today - ?
I'm carrying the same knife that I've been carrying for many weeks, a Stretch 2 XL in Cruwear. There's nothing fancy about it, it's just an all-around awesome knife. And in the spirit of the holiday, I'll share with you a picture of a sociopathic bunny named Bun Bun who carries a switchblade. I can...

Re: Forum Update/Maintenance & Move - PLEASE READ
You guys got me curious about forum speeds on mobile devices. I browsed on over to the form using Safari on my iPhone. The speeds were fast, equal to what I get on my desktop computer. Then I tried the Firefox browser, and the results were the same. No problems from Behind The Orange Curtain.

Re: How Shelac is made
I don't know if it is durable enough for a knife handle that would get used. It isn't like lacquer or polyurethane. Still, it would look really good. I know! But it's so "old school" that it's hard to resist. Most of my wood projects are finished in natural finishes: linseed oil, tung oil...

Re: How Shelac is made
Thanks. That video has been in my YouTube suggestions, but I didn't watch it until just now. I like the Business Insider videos. Shellac intrigues me, but I've not used it on anything since I was a little kid. How do you think it would work out on wood scales for my next Mule?

Re: "Delica" the Tip of a Mule 2?
I have one SPY27 OG Mule, but it's not in the field. It's in the kitchen. It's my go-to when I want a small knife. I have a couple other Mules that could assume that role, but there's nothing not-to-like about the SPY27.

I need a plain edge for most things, and normal serrations when the need calls for it.

Re: "Delica" the Tip of a Mule 2?
It's prettier the way it comes from the factory, but I can see why you would want to give it the "Delica Treatment." Or you could just wait until you push it too far, and it Delicas itself. Then you could just touch it up when you get home.
