Spyderco Forums

Hey, cool to see you having joined the forum to share some of your knowledge :-)

Personally I suck at sharpening, gave dual grit only one try using a sharpmaker and a serrated knife without any success. So still getting my skills up with conventional methods.

Great idea using dual grit on serrated edges! I'll give it a try.

My go to way to apply the heat needed to loosen loctite is too drop the knife in some hot water for a bit. Seems the least risky way to me.

How do you deeply deploy the blade? Pinky finger?

You're looking for something with good edge retention (i.e. doesn't dull quickly in use) and probably good corrosion resistance (if you're worried about your knife rusting). Depending on how you'd prioritize these two qualities the forum might make an recommendation which steel you should go for. Th...

Of the options, Native 5.

That might be the problem here: the idea of a factory sale is too keep the price on B-stock as low as possible, so go direct instead of relying on a middle man. From a scale perspective on the other hand it would make se...

Still loving the Lil Native Wharncliffe. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't create more buzz around here and elsewhere. Am I just getting the wrong impression or is this one flying a bit under the general radar? I'd be down to go for a upgraded sprint version if one came around and wonder if that may ne...

As the blade gets thinner towards the tip, bevel height should theoretically decrease as well, I believe.

Hi Kontei, Benja-man,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

Thank you, happy to join this little community here.

The German equivalent to sharpie would be Edding. @kontei, where do you live, maybe a fellow forum user could help you out? I'm in Bonn for what it's worth.

Received mine today, wonderfully light, factory edge is perfect as far as I can tell and the action is how I prefer it. It's my first compression lock knife, still getting used to that aspect. It's going to live on my workbench (carry laws don't permit locking blades here). I could imagine it being ...

Nice! What color did you use?

Having a Lil Native Wharncliffe sent to Germany, planning for it to be my new workbench knife.

KnifeCenter and KnivesShipFree still have stock.

Thought I'd make my first post a useful one. Hi all from Germany :)
