Hope you are enjoying it. Absolutely love my 52100 family. Great knives.Midnightrider wrote: ↑Mon Jun 16, 2025 11:39 amAfter a long, perilous journey, a NIB (kinda) Military in 52100 showed up today. I wanna thank @Evil D for all his posts on this knife. Been wanting one since I read his comments on the knife in 2016 or 2017 but was not able to get one until today. I have a bunch of other stuff going on so I hope to take the knife apart and spruce it up over the weekend.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I've been trying to talk myself out of buying the upgraded Ambitious ever since it was released because I never really had a problem with the standard blade steel. Now that I finally have one, I realize that it's the peace of mind that I really wanted.
Hopefully, that peace of mind will endure after a couple months of using the knife. I sure do like it.

SMKW Grey Micarta S45VN Shaman Exclusive for $199.04 off WhatNot. This one probably needs to go in the future gift pile/cold storage as I have 3 Shaman users already.

S35VN is a great steel, probably my favorite. I like the extra toughness over S30V.Switchback wrote: ↑Wed Jul 09, 2025 10:34 amI've been trying to talk myself out of buying the upgraded Ambitious ever since it was released because I never really had a problem with the standard blade steel.

I have a Para 3 and a Native 5 in S35VN. I haven't pulled the trigger on a value folder in it yet though. I keep hoping to find a good deal on a blue Resilience. I just wish they'd offer blue G10 in the value folder line with the upgraded steel.

I've been eager for this one, as well. Two are on the way. One arrives Friday, the other on Monday.

Manix 2 Sprint Run PE CPM 15V Blade Brown FRCP (C101PBN15V2) 

Necromonger: What do you think of this blade?
Riddick: I think it is a half gram heavy on the back end.

GPK exclusive Rex 45 Urban is on its way!
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Got a Military 2 sprint in S90V/CF on the way. This is the only one in the line I haven't tried, so if I'm not a fan of this one I think that'll just be it with the entire series.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Another Stretch 2 XL. This one in SPY27. Probably my favorite knife made by Spyderco in quite some time.

Just ordered my first Manbug, the micro-melt PD#1 burgundy FRN sprint run. Like 8th_Note said, too good a deal to pass up.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Thanks, Man :) I should have practiced on a piece of junk but I went for it and did a crappy job of acid etch. It doesn't look very good and I'm being generous about that. But, it oughta do the job of holding oil a bit better and the best thing is nobody is gonna wanna steal it :DPanChango wrote: ↑Mon Jul 07, 2025 5:30 pmHope you are enjoying it.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Just got this knife in and Modified with burnt bronze AWT - aggressive scales, a slotted Black Flytanium Titanium ball cage. Still need to profile the bevels to 15 dps and get them all nice and like the Razor I expect.
Here is a few pix for a looksee. One of my tail ropes and honing is up next.
