I never wear gloves when cutting cardboard, gives me a good feel for the knife I am testing. :)

I still think the Military is Spyderco's best model. :cool: :spyder:
I'm truly amazed at your dedication and tenacity and so very happy I have PM2. How many hours do you dedicate to your reviews?
It's varies a lot depending on the blade and overall performance.

Some knives take 3 or more days others can be done in one day.

That's incredible! Would you please consider stopping the reviews or publishing them on a need to know basis?

Just to show how much cardboard this really is, here is my bins, blue one is the recycle bin, it's full of cardboard already, the cardboard from the Military is in the tarp. Thankfully the bin goes out this week, but will be full again once I put the Military cardboard in it. :eek:

About 18 DPS from Spyderco, if I was to guess I would say yes.

Lol....I was gonna say you have to have a massive amount of cardboard! That's just sooooo much cutting on your part man.....
Jim, your a real asset to the forum, and would say Spyderco as well.

The cardboard that is in the bin now is from the MT and that was in the tarp before because the bin was full from the S125V blade I tested.

So I have been playing the wait until the bin gets empty only to fill it right back up with cardboard I already have lately.

What happens when you test 3 high wear resistant steels back to back in a short time frame.

Thanks for the effort(s) for this and the other tests you do Jim.

BTW, do you switch hands, or do you have one giant arm and one small one? ;)

I'm hearing you fellows on the clip! I took the paint off my Stretch clip with gasket stripper and left it. My S30V Camo Millie had a "blued" clip so I lightly glass bead blasted it with a fine medium and left it too.
When I get a S110V Millie I'll polish the clip on a fabric wheel along with my PM2 clip so they match! It's just how I roll! :)
