Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Thanks over the holidays I have some time off and I am going to be going over my collection and rooting out the keepers from the okay I need to sell some of these to make up for recent purchases.
I tend to buy a backup of a knife if I really like it (For example the recent purchase from Knife works for the CF TI Millies, It is such a sweet design People really should scoop these up while they last, the G-10 Millie's are just not the same, don't get me wrong the g10 Millies are excellent but the CF TI versions are really smooth and have a substantial feeling in the hand and the RIL Frame lock is really well tensioned and designed for smooth lockup.)
I know for certain I have some back up knives like the Paramilitary 2 in M390 and a Para 3 In M390 that are going on the bay for sale, probably the Paramilitary 2 in 52100 and an older military fully serrated I sent in for spa treatment to Spyderco and perhaps a brand new Hungarian.
One of the knives I am really looking forward to that are coming in is the Stretch2 I read how Sal influenced it's design and am really interested in finding out about VG-10 now that my super stainless high carbide curiosity has been sated for a while at least.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Mama Mia! Looks like I manged to get close to the last one again. The Knife Works Exclusive TI CF Military is no longer showing on their site! Looks like buying my back up like I did with the CTS-204P version was just in time glad I did not hesitate! This also happened when I got the second STC-204P Millie!
Just looked responding to someone looking for the CTS-204P Paramilitary2 Guys if you missed out on the Paramilitary2 M390 then get the CTS-204P the steel is nearly identical and I actually favor it over M390.

My converted Vallotton Sub-Hilt finally arrived. Such a satisfying knife. It's heft still gets me, it doubles as a kubotan of epic proportions.

You are going to love the stretch! Just got mine in VG-10 and wow all I can say is wow, been using it all day and just broke down a whole chicken. Love the design, loving VG10 that Steel deserves far more respect than it is getting these days.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I really think i'm going to love it to, after carrying the ukpk drop point i fell in love with the bladeshape and ergos, and the stretch 2 have the same bladeshape and looks like it has somewhat the same ergos Just a bit bigger.Doeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 9:53 pmYou are going to love the stretch!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Bingo. No longer new or exotic, just gettin it done. Same could be said for 154cm & s30v. I have my own prejudices and preferences there, but I don’t think anyone would say they are “inferior” so much as “old news”. But they work.Doeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 9:53 pm...loving VG10 that Steel deserves far more respect than it is getting these days.
I wonder what would happen if these steels were re-released with new and fancy sounding names... would they quickly be found out, or would they be met with acclaim?
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
You wouldn't have to rename them, just put an N at the end,, like vg10N and People would go bananas.
I really like vg10 though.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Or a VN then for sure we're all done in.
I have used it for breaking down cardboard, Breaking down a chicken ( Can See why People would like this for skinning ) Cutting a stick of butter Whoo Hoo big challenge there, Cutting cloths tag ties, and that's about it for now it has remained very factory sharp and I was impressed how it wanted to bite into the chicken bones so I ripped through the rib cage and cartilage with no ill effect to the blade.
Afterwards I left it wet for a while to see what would happen and nothing did.
So far I am challenged to see why anyone would choose S30V over this steel.
Something else I noticed is Spyderco uses a larger bevel on this thin blade and I think that helps make it a superior slicer to lets say my CF sage5 for example.
