I’m very satisfied with the Spits m390 so have passed on the opportunity to acquire an Alien on a couple of times, now.
The general consensus is that it’s a slightly lighter action than the Pits, smaller and more pocketable, but that has been people comparing it to the non Spyderco version.

The Dragonfly is a beefed up Manbug, whereas the Lil Native is a shrunk Native ….

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
A little less than that at Edgar Bros, the UK importer, and in stock.
As an aside, this is by far the best folder I’ve ever used for food prep.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Mine arrived today. I’ve been after a Catcherman for a long while, and I’m delighted. I’m no fisherman, but I live near the sea and do buy and prepare fresh fish, and it feels like it should be a great general food prep knife, too.
Now I’m just waiting for the Spyderco oyster knife

My Catcherman only arrived today, so will see how it goes in CE before commenting further. Very impressed out of the box, though.

Re: Review: Murray Carter Minarai Petty
Good review. Thank you for sharing.
Most of my kitchen knives appear to be ffg, apart from a single sided Global deba, and I’ve not noticed a problem to date with food binding. I’m certainly not a chef or expert on kitchen knives, but aren’t most kitchen knives ffg? Asking for a friend, ahem…

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!
Milk in paper cartons is better. However, I buy Fernleaf powdered milk. It tastes just like bottled milk and dissolves in cold water. It is a New Zealand product. I understand that the same brand in the UK isn't nearly as good because UK laws mandate using only UK cow milk. The NZ cow milk is much ...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I was sooooo sad!!! I have wanted this knife FOREVER, but this was discontinued before my time here. When I saw the announcement several months ago I was overjoyed. But….I did what I always do and procrastinated until the last minute. By the time I acted they were all gone. Then I found one! Haha. ...

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Fantastic thread. Craftsmanship, science and innovation in one. Add to that the redemption of an old villain (s60v, not Sal) and it’s a real treat.

Re: Visualizing the Tradeoff of Higher Hardness
I didn’t enjoy sharpening the s60v in my Starmate one little bit. It would be very interesting to see what effect an updated HT would have.

Re: Native Scout?
I think a mid sized Native is a fantastic idea.
With (or without, actually) a sabre or scandi grind it would be an excellent bushcraft or all-purpose field knife.
