I don't care much for the standard blade shape, for whatever reason the tip of the knife seems to be at a really awkward spot relative to my grip on the knife. The wharncliffe blade though solves a lot of that in my uses, shame so many variants got disco'd. I don't own one yet but I think the hap40 ...

On a side note I would also like for this to come in something else than m390. K390, MagnaCut, s90v would all be my preferences over m390, but m390 is ok too lacking other choices. x2 With the m390 steel I would have bought it knowing it was always going to be a catch and release knife. I do apprec...

I really like S110v and I think it's really cool that Spyderco keeps it as a regular offering. For my uses I basically view it as the top edge retention salt series steel. I haven't had any problems with it but I am however more conscious of what I'm doing when I'm using it. My S30v Native 5 has a m...

https://www.etsy.com/shop/CtoCWoodworks?ref=profile_header After doing a ton of searching around for a cutting board to give as a gift I placed a custom order from this Etsy shop. The guys name is David and if you don't like any of his standard boards he's more than happy to do something custom both...

Bagsy?! Are you from the UK too? While I did just finish the latest season of Taskmaster, I'm from the states. I fell down a rabbit hole of UK slang after reading you're Grafter explanation. I only recently heard whinge a few months ago. Instead of bagsy we'd say "I call" or "dibs&qu...

Bagsy me the 5th Grafter. I normally whinge about micarta but I'll be patiently queueing up for one.

However, after reading a post (on a reputable retailer's website) that claimed their CS model eventually became useless due to lock wobble (I believe this happened in about 3 years) I began to wonder if --- A) CS is prioritizing toughness over the appropriate hardness in their locking mechanisms B)...

Being patient and buying things 2nd hand or on sale is the way of the world if you're not in the more money than brains club. If you don't want to or can't wait, then paying full retail is the convenience charge. The real question is what do all of these knives cost wholesale and how much is wholesa...

^Dont listen to that guy. Looks legit to me. Can't imagine someone taking the time to counterfeit a Damascus blade and titanium handles and getting everything correct. Your box and packaging looks correct for the JDM knives. Here's a thread to easy your mind. https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php...

I have a main edc that gets carried everyday. I keep a Leatherman Supertool 300 in my truck but my knife will inevitably end up as a screwdriver, wire stripper/cutter, or scraper before I get to it. My edc will get loaned out without asking what needs to be cut, it may not survive it may not comebac...

My mental health caused this problem, my mental health won't survive the answer.

Choils are genius on a slip joint, it provides a layer of safety that's basically as good as a lock in my use. Choils are great on small lighter duty knives as well to make the knife carry even smaller when folded up but offer more grip than you'd otherwise have. That said almost every knife I've ha...

This is going to be one of those perfect in every way knives to me. Will probably end up buying more than one just to hoard in case it ever gets disco'd in the future.

On further reflection I feel your wife and her knife proclivities would make for an entertaining children’s book series, charting her off piste adventures with a smorgasbord of different steels.

Always a good read and a laugh when this thread gets updated. Looking forward to future installments!

https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=96056&p=1764610#p1764610 Wow didn't expect to see this when I checked in for the day. Honestly shocked you have time to do everything that you do and have time to remember that. Thanks Sal for not just being available but actively engaging with ...

x2 with Wartstein on the Manix LW. I'd love to see the Lil Temp LW k390 with teeth, the vg-10 version is stellar. Also aware the Lil Temp isn't a barn burner in sales so it'll never happen. Is there anything in Spy27 that is SE? I know not every steel can be utilized for a SE if they're too brittle ...

Come on everybody it's safe to post, no monsters here, just a bunch of possibly silicone based life forms. This definitely isn't a trap to find out who amongst us is a caseperchaun. Everyone chime in using your mouth or the secret second tiny mouth that gathers unknown elements and lives in your mor...

That is really strange. I have found much better performance out of VG10 with at least the difference Larrin's chart shows. I've also found BD1N chips more. It may be a difference in our use. For me I would regard BD1N as a big downgrade from VG10 and it would stop me buying knives. I have also fou...
