Re: What is the best application to tool steel for long term storage?

Frog Lube - it is food safe. There are stronger rust-protecting agents, but I would rather not have on surfaces that might get in contact with food.

Here you can find a very detailed comparison of over 40 anti-rust agents

Re: Steels and spyderedge

Interesting discussion indeed! My experience with serrated edges is somewhat limited. H1 on my pacific has seen quite some use in the garden (a LOT of contact directly with ground) and it would take quite a beating as the edge stability is not that great (mainly rolling), but it would be fairly easy...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

I apologize, but am I going to be a little disrespectful. Hearing "Native 5" kinda makes me yawn at this stage. There were sooo many of all kind of versions and they keep coming up on a regular basis. Making yet another one with just some anniversary etch would be a bit of a low profile ce...

Re: Seki City back lock quality in 2022?

Got a k390 Delica recently. The knife is perfectly fine, but I would much prefer not to have that 'give' in the lock when applying more pressure on the edge. But I understand this has more to do with the design of the lock rather than quality of the production.

Re: AI art knows Spyderco

There will be companies that design and produce knives this way, unfortunately. “Ai designed” will probably be the marketing gimmick too. :nauseated I really despise this pseudo-creative Ai plague. No to be taken the wrong way, but when it comes to stuff being designed by AI, knives are the least o...

Re: k390 serrated discontinued?

I got the SE k390 Delica recently. I am yet to sharpen it, but I should because it does mote catching on stuff than wanting to cut. But I am not looking forward to the shaprening.

Re: Tanto blades

They've done it twice already but people grumbled a lot about the last one. It's a hard sell to put a run out that no one likes.

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?

Believe it or not, but I have a couple of very weird friends that actually prefer their locking folding knives to be two hand opening. I don’t get it, but they’re free to like whatever they want. Anyhow, a favorite off the shelf option for at least one of them are the Fällkniven knives, the GP (Gen...

Re: Gauntlet vs Sharpmaker

I am wondering whether the Gauntlet rods given their cross-section are better suited to maintain some of the more narrow (more tightly packed) serrated patterns.

Re: UKPK Drop Point Steels

I agree, but apparently the majority of buyers prefer the (also excellent) leaf blade (similarly to the Stretch).

Magnacut DP would of course be great, but even Spy27 would be awesome.

Re: Spyderco backlocks : why is the stop pin an exception, instead of being the norm ?

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.

With a possible Big Brown Bear/Spyderco collaboration on the stones? As of 2024, nobody has figured out how to get the cost down for super vitrified diamond/cBN technology. While it can be made, I don't think it would be in the price range people would like and they probably wouldn't understand wha...

I would love to see more hollow (or at least saber) ground SE blades - in particular other steels than H1/H2. But I am very much looking forward to the SE Chap. It is a pleasant surprise and my hat is off to Spyderco for that. Oh I hear you loud and clear. But I do think that the C-60 Cruwear Ayoob...

Re: Could this Delica 4 be a fake?

Yeah, there is little reason to look for a 'rare' model from 2009 when one can have exactly the same design just in a different FRN color.
