What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Been a long long time since I’ve been in here. This is one of my most cherished Spydercos, and what I believe the Advocate should had been. Blasted handles and flipper delete.

Looks very sleek that way. Nice mods!

This Shaman is one of the few knives I actually touch up using the Sharpmaker, vs holding the rod in hand and sharpening that way. These bevels must be a perfect 20dps, because she touches up in no time. Gave it a little love last night for the final stretch of the week. The Microtech is pretty much pocket jewelry today, one of our contractors wanted to see it.

I am carrying mine this week too. Yours looks like an actual custom from Gayle Bradley though. Very nice! :spyder: And just curious, does the bead blasting remove the orange peel texture?
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I wouldn’t say it entirely does, but you can barely tell it was there now. Thank you!

Who else thinks that glacier blue would make a great translucent FRN color?

Man that looks cold! :eek: But I agree, translucent glacier blue would be very cool.

Nice looking edge! Looks coarse and toothy and done well by hand.bbturbodad wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 8:59 pmThis guy has been getting a lot of pocket time lately...

You really are the only one around here I see post this knife. I honestly forget about it until I see it! Glad you enjoy it, nice to see something different sometimes :)

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Thanks guys!
Yeah I went thinner than I planned trying to even out the bevel but I'm glad I did the edge retention is insane and no problems with chipping or rolling. I'm guessing it's sub 10dps...definitely thinnest I've ever gone.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I had my K390 Police hold shaving sharpness for over a month with a similar edge. It just won't quit. Recently took it a little bit thinner since I hadn't experienced any chipping either.bbturbodad wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 10:14 pmThanks guys!

For someone that typically prefers ease of sharpening to crazy edge holding K390 really has me impressed.
Might have to get a Rex45 Chief when those drop. I hear nothing but good things about the steel.

But how "coarse" did you go (looks pretty coarse in the pic)?
Inspired by Vivis posts I momentarely try out coarse edges (with my pretty limited equipment and skills that means right from the CBN sharpmaker rods) on my VG10 Stretch and BD1N Manix 2 LW - works really well so far!
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
