What, buying it twice wasn't enough for you? :D

A Slysz Bowie is on it's way!

I had better action when I rotated the stop pin. I also had a PM2 with such bad lock stick that I returned it to the store.

Milled out Slysz Bowie.

I'll be interested in what the scales look like when they start to patina.

What are we calling "carbon steels". List please? Do you differentiate between tool steels and carbon steels? When I think carbon I think 1095 and other steels with a minimal amount of additives. Tools steels can have high carbon contents, and they will rust like carbon steels. However, t...

I'd be surprised if it was anything other than S30V.

204p That’s kind of what I was thinking since it’s the closest to what I want but I also think the green scales are pretty cool so I kind of hate to mess with it. Those scales are the best color I have seen (the ZDP Delica are nice too). There's a guy up on /r/knife_swap who has a 204p PM2 up for s...

204p

For a daily user, I would put more emphasis on sharpness and the ease of getting that edge back. AEB-L has a reputation for this. Sure other knives have this steel or a similar one, but I'd rather take a Spyderco than a Kershaw or pretty much any other brand.

There was a good conversation on here about the Cat. Might be on the small side, but I hear BD-1 is corrosion resistant.

Yeah, going with contouring would significantly change the knife. The Slysz Bowie is just beautiful, and I wouldn't mind seeing those type of scales on more knives. It will up the cost, but I think that can be justified on a sprint run. I'm happy with the blade, I just want milling and better washers.

Would you want contoured scales like a Slysz Bowie, or keep the same basic shape as the lock side? When I think Southard and full titanium, I think milling; I'd like to see that if this were to happen. One last thing, better washers. Here's Brad working on one of his Tolks. I like the fact that his ...

The performance of many of our "inferior" and "outdated" steels is absolutely fine in the real world... Moreover, I think the problem is that there is a tremendous amount of groupthink when it comes to certain parts of the knife world. As a newcomer myself, I get swept up in the...

Thanks for the link. The stuff on S30V is fascinating.

Wouldn't CPM154 be a definite downgrade from S30V? From a sharpening standpoint, I think CPM154 has the edge in ease of use. Since I have relatively docile usage day-to-day (I work in a school), I'd prefer the easier sharpening since I won't push the steel to its limits while at work. That's why I ...

How about AEBL?

There was talk of one in 52100. It seems as though CPM154 or RWL34 would both go over well. I also think that A11 or 10V are good options. We already have Cruwear and M4 so maybe CPM4V is redundant but I would be interested. I am swimming in Para2s and never really carry them since almost completel...

I think it would be cool if they worked with some of the makers that have licensed the compression lock like Jessie Jarosz and Kevin Smock (push button compression lock please).

I really think lube is a highly over complicated subject in this hobby. Yeah, this can be true. And I'm not helping by saying, "Go buy brand X oil; it's the best!" This YouTube video by Apostle P does a pretty good job at showing that sometimes the best oil for the job is the one you have...
