Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Personally, I wish they used the same color as the Manix 2 LW SPY27 on the Native. I know it is not popular, but I have really grown to like it. It distinguishes it from everything else.Ramonade wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 8:48 amOne thing I can already tell : the scales are almost undistinguishable from the ones on the S110V. I see the difference but I wonder if it's my brain playing a trick on me since I know they are two different knives
It's a good example with a nice factory edge, both grind and edge seem even (I'll know pretty fast if they aren't !). I think I'll put an edge on it and try it really fast.
I just have to remove the weird wire on the sides of the FRN. You know, like residue from the mould on old toys ^^

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Yeah a real departure from the S110V color could've been nice. Though, the blue they are using is really cool, I love it. I guess it's a first world problem when two of your natives look alike .JSumm wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 9:54 amPersonally, I wish they used the same color as the Manix 2 LW SPY27 on the Native.

Since i've been lacking in the S30V LW department I might dye it black or something, it's aleady a really dark color so dark green seems impossible.
I'll definitely buy a 400 to 600 € knife this year. I've decided to slow down the rate of buying to buy a couple "better" ones. All of that depends on how fast the mules and the SS Stretch XL / Lil'Native LW get out.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I'm still waiting for my Spyderco Chaparral CF to show up in the mail and I receive an email notice that the PM2 Crucarta is back in stock. ****, another $280.00 bit I'm not passing this time around.
This forum is going to lead me to divorce.

I have a PM 2 Maxamet on the way.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Maxamet and K390. You are jumping all in on some hard steels!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Hopefully you have some good abrasives, if not I would recommend looking for some quality CBN/Diamond for Maxamet & K390.
So it goes.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Do they make rods for the Sharpmaker that would work for these hard steels?
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
They do, Diamond and CBN. But, if you're going to end up reprofiling...Sharpmaker, even with those rods takes A LONG time. Much faster with proper diamond bench stones or a guided system.Jerome Howard wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 1:23 pmDo they make rods for the Sharpmaker that would work for these hard steels?

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I reprofiled a K390 Ladybug on the CBN rods, and yes it was time consuming. I’m not sure I’d want to do an Endura or Millie!
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
When coming back from work (with my salary just received on the bank account), I open facebook and see a guy selling a MT17P brand new.
So.... Just snatched a K390 mule

those will make quick work of any steel. the 260 grit is what I finish most my folders with. I find the edge lasts 3-5x longer than the more polished edge I get from a stock sharpmaker, though polished edges are a superior choice for certain roles.....

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I remembered I had some rewards sitting in my knivesshipfree account…. And after reading all the ladybug praises I decided it was a good reason to cash in.
I went the manbug route after seeing the wharncliffe with TiCN blade.
Anxious to try one of the little guys.

A pink G10 hollow-ground Manix2 from an exclusive run of 500 is headed my way. My Manix horde has needed something unusual. And 154CM steel is a new one for me.
