Its worked on a couple of mine.

The Cruwear Millie was a 1200 piece sprint so prices are still very reasonable due to the large number made.

Thanks for the tip - I tried it and it helped a little bit :) On this knife when I tighten the pivot screw fully the blade is perfectly centred so I'm not sure what's going on...

As I said I'm not worried about having a perfectly centred blade on this knife, but I appreciate the thought!

Go with XHP, though you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference in edge retention between it and S30V. What would probably be most immediately apparently would be easier sharpening on the really high grit abrasives because of the much lower vanadium, and for that reason alone I'd go XHP.

This, all day everyday.

Oh and Pam had a great posterior.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.
