Today for me it the G-10 Cat!! John

If this is a duplicate thread.. Please delete..

I just picked up a KnifeCenter exclusive Endela with Pakkawood scales and Hap40. The knife arrived with significant scratches on the ricasso which don’t show up as well in the photo as they appear in person. I wouldn’t mind this on an FRN knife that was...

Old hat, I know….

I just received one of Moki’s finest and it is a beauty! Absolutely flawless. The cf really does elevate the Caly.

The ergo’s and superb blade/handle ratio were a given, having had a g10 version, but the fit and finish here are as...

For me it's my S90v Para 3 LW. Every time I see something potentially interesting pop up, I ask myself ok but will I actually carry it over my para 3?

It's super light, has great edge performance, is corrosion-resistant enough for my daily uses,...

Is there some interst? I know I've read in a few threads now some people would buy it. Sal, If you happen accross this thread what are the chances?

I'd be up for the Southfork as well if was ever to be rerun. Some retailers still had it as recently as...

Post about your sharpenings. Brand, grit, abrasives, grit progression, desired edge finish, decision making in sharpening, whatever you want. Might be interesting to see what people use for certain tasks, and will give insight into the results of others'...

Better steels ? More handle colors and materials ? It seems to me that these UK friendly slipits are quite popular allaround and for all the good reasons. They are very practical, safe enough in opened position, they look good, legal almost everywhere and...

Hey folks,

I was fortunate enough to buy a new old stock Native 5 Lightweight from New Graham Knives. The knife was made in 2016 according to the box. It is a fully serrated black bladed model with a CPM-S35VN blade.

It seems that maybe there was an...

Anyone else think this is a good idea? The longer blade seems like a good fit for that lock.

I decided to start whittling blocks of wood. Because why not? I want a hobby. Think I'm starting off with basswood or balsawood.

I'm thinking about using my wharncliffe k390 dragonfly for this. Feels like the right shape, size, toughness/edge...

Being a UK resident, and not wishing to get hauled up in front of a judge, my best option is pretty much a Spyderco UKPK.

I have a couple, and am very much looking forward to the arrival of the HH edition; I have been on the waiting list since late...

Coming soon.

A bit more than the REX45 from GPKnives.

Hello Sal,

Hoping there's a chance this will make it's debut sometime this year.

Has a steel and frn color been chosen?

Is the queue still pretty far out?

I appreciate it.

Rules:

1. It has to be based on an existing model, current or historical. Anything from the C01 Worker onwards.

2. You can designate the materials, including blade steels and handle materials/inlays.

3. You can designate the grind type and...

What “test” do you do to confirm an acceptable level of sharpness? Push cutting magazine paper? Push cutting newspaper? Shaving? Hair whittling? There are many ways to confirm varying degrees of sharpness, so what do you call “sharp enough” to suit you?

After searching Forum archives on S90V steel I have come up with 2 attributes. One, it is hard to sharpen. Two, it holds an edge. In my experience, if you have diamond rods for your SharpMaker, S90V is NOT hard to sharpen. What really surprised me was...

Every week I see some really great pics on this forum so I thought we could have a weekly competition. The competition will last from Monday to Sunday and the winner and runner up will be announced on Sunday evening. The winner will be the judge for the...

What do you all think about a UKPK, with linerless G10 in that wonderful mineral blue color, in SPY27? I am first in line for that! Wonderful knife, wonderful color, wonderful scale material, wonderful steel. (For that matter, frn would be okay, just that...

I just heard from Heinie Haynes that Spyderco has stopped making exclusives because of COVID. I was told there likely will not be anymore HH Exclusive UKPK. :'(

I want one, but everytime I started to buy one something came up demanding money elsewhere....

Hi.
I love my Spyderco PM2 CPM 45REX in Copper. But it's a bit slow when opening and closing. I can flick it open with my thumb and finger and reverse. But what I would like, is to let it fall down into closing,,, maybe also with opening, pushing the...

This is a continuation of RamZar's amazing list! The bar was set Very high and I'll try not to mess it up too badly! Thanks RamZar!

This is showing up on the bay... DLT exclusive? Haven't heard about this one yet but admittedly am out of the PM2 loop. Also the Endela SE and PE is also on the bay

In a quite recent post Sal said this:

I made the FRN version because I felt there was a market for a less expensive utility version. This also offers opportunity for colors, exclusive variations and who knows what else. I'm currently testing a...

Can anyone tell me the steel used to make the lock on lock backs? Knife I am specifically looking at is the Civilian. Blade is VG-10.

Thank you.

There a lot of great steels out there, but I seem to be gravitating to 20CV in my Watu lately.
I have other knives in the steel but the Watu just seems to cut better (for me). It could be the blade thickness and the thin grind, but it doesn't matter, I...

Go get'em boys 🤣

Deacon had a good idea about the casual bombshells Sal drops in seemingly random threads: feel free to add them to this thread so we can see them in all there glory together:
entries get older until mid page two then back to recent

What are your predictions, wish lists, etc. for Spyderco Reveal No. 10? I know I'm looking forward to the next one, and last year's second reveal was released around this time of year. The second half of the year could be exciting around here and there...

Anyone wishing there was another premium native 5?
Or are y’all tired of Golden sprints/exclusives? Lol

This thread is a collaborative effort by RamZar and Buddafucco . All input from others are most welcomed.

We're listing all of the most recent Sprints/Exclusives/Mule Teams/Flash Batches since January 2019 (in this post and in the order they were...

Hello all,

A recent discussion on one of the forums (I think it was BF) about the wear properties of liner locks got me thinking about what type of steel is used in lockbars, liners etc (this may be a basic question to those who are experienced in...

Hi All,

I hope you’ll excuse the shameless sales pitch, but I think it’s more than that. You might think of it as a talkin’ story, your call?

Gail and I have been using a combination of the Murray Carter kitchen knives, both at home in Colorado, and...
