What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Actually started to carry the BD1N Manix again... but after a few days I just missed the REX 45 and now switched back to it.
I like the burnt orange color, but of course even more so the steel: Its performance, and how it it "reacts" to the elements, one can see it "aging" and just showing use (Patina, specs..). A bit like it would be a "living" material, if that makes any sense

Have you oiled your blade yet, or just letting it go naturally and see how it does?Wartstein wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 12:02 pmActually started to carry the BD1N Manix again... but after a few days I just missed the REX 45 and now switched back to it.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Actually I have never oiled the whole blade itself, just the the small part of the very pivot area that is hidden behind the scales and that I can´t really access due to the pinned construction - two times in a month or so.
Otherwise,yes, I just let it go without ever oiling the blade and just wiping it off after cutting food like I´d do with any knife.
The Manix has developed a slight patina and definitely a lot of tiny specs, both red and black.. but this is very hard to capture on photo (angle and light matter a lot here) - I still tried to take one for you (see below), and this pic actually exaggerates a lot what can be normally seen.
One thing is very obvious on my specific knives: REX 45 so far develops less patina, but a lot more specs than the exposed part on my HAP 40 blades (those have a heavy grey/blue patina, but no specs at all, despite being used and (not...) cared for just like the REX 45)

Man, another Austrian on this forum, and even a longstanding member!! :) - Did not get to know you till now, Oliver!
/ Where is this castle ruin? Looks like more in the flatter, eastern part of our country, right?
Perhaps you have seen the "castle-ruin-knife-pics" I too posted quite recently: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60127&start=23480#p1462918
And nice knife of course. One day I will have to get one of these too...

Seems like a good day to carry this. It's been raining/sleeting since this morning.
