Re: Why should one buy spyderco knife?

I have little to add to the excellent observations and rationale provided here. But I will offer this bit of advice … if you do decide to try a Spyderco, ask for guidance in deciding which to start with. Consider your typical use, your environment, and any other requirements; and then let the fine f...

Re: When Does Patina Become Rust?

To the OP’s original question … generally a patina serves to help prevent red rust from forming. I’m sure smarter folks than I will chime in and explain why that type of oxidation prevents (or forestalls) further corrosive action, but much of my collecting involves traditional folders which for the ...

Thanks for the advice.

I first heard about Bar Keeper's Friend on this forum, but I've never come across it before. Where is that stuff available? I suppose you can probably get it on Amazon. :woozy
I found it in Lowe’s with the cleaning products - I use it to clean my Sharpmaker rods.

Re: What types of material do you cut the most?

If I assume correctly this is not exclusively folding knives were talking about? If so I definitely cut food more than anything else. I did recently move to a house with lots of plants in the garden, so my knives got plenty of use unpacking and breaking down boxes for the move, and I've been using ...

Re: Wharncliffe Native 5?

@ Evil D … have you done a mock-up of them closed? my only reservation would be the significant height that would result from all that blade riding outside the handle when closed.

Re: What types of material do you cut the most?

So this got me thinking and with my folders / carry knives, hands down most use is in the cardboard and plastic categories … but my actual knife use is probably mainly food prep. Which brings me to once again appreciate the two Spyderco kitchen utility knives in MBS-26 that I have used for years (on...

Re: Cutleryshoppe exclusive?

I pulled the trigger on one … wasn’t sure I would since I already have the P3LW in SPY27, but the color combo and XHP teetered me off the fence.
I also shared the link with 2 friends - one’s a die hard knife guy, but not a Spydie freek (yet), the other is just starting to dip his toe in …

Re: I hate this forum

Rule #1 I learned as a teen, don't ever buy more than one music album at a time or one of them will ultimately get neglected. Buy one at a time, consume it. Learn it, wring it out for all it's worth and then try the next one. ^^^ This ^^^ great advice and applicable to so many things! (Now ask me i...

Re: "Knife People" more price sensitive?

I think you’ll find that even ‘knife people’ will run the gamut from “tight” to “willing to overpay” … I think a more accurate assessment would be that knife people are more aware of actual value … what a given individual is willing to pay for a specific knife is an unknowable factor. The sellers th...

Re: Favorite small spyderco

Literally sitting here handling a Chaparral (S&M) for the first time … and it is already one of my favorite small Spydies. Outstanding blade to handle ratio and F&F and execution are dead on. That being said, I have to give props to my other favorite “smalls” as well: Kiwi (original) Kopa D-...

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?

Only counting modern folders (I have a number of traditional slippies as well) puts me at about 40% Spyderco … the remainder are split between BM and a couple high end niche brands. Lately, I’ve been rediscovering the value/ergo benefits of my Spydies and have a couple new additions inbound, so … as...

Re: Para 3 vs. Sage 3 Comparison

I've gone with the Sage 5 ... tried the PM3, but the already 'skewed' handle to blade ratio of the PM2 just seems exaggerated on the PM3, IMO ... just seems too "stubby" ... also, the blade profile seems to work well at the PM2 length, but to me something is just "off" when it's ...
