I think focusing on steel with the Chaparral LW is a fantastic idea. Especially now that there are multiple CNC scale makers that are making high quality scales for the Chaparral LW from all kinds of materials. I’m not usually a fan of serrated knives, but that chaparral looks like a winner! With th...

Seems to be a T8. My Wiha bits have a tiny amount of slop, but my PB Swiss T8 fits it as tightly as it fits any of my other T8 pivots. It’s the permanent loctite that seems to be the issue. It took a shockingly low amount of torque to partially strip the pivot too. I can’t imagine this was intended....

I held it at the Amsterdam meet. It looks good. But personally not a fan of it. Its has a typical lionsteel blade. (Thick behind the edge) So cutting performance will not be like the typical spydie. Not that it will be bad offcourse. But it will feel strange compared to a normal spydie. How was the...

There's speculation over on the Millie, PM2, Para3 group on FB that the pivot screw is made to accept Torx Plus bits rather than the standard Torx. I checked mine using a T8 Wiha bit and the fit is a bit loose. T9 is too large. Just wanted to mention it here before somebody stripped their pivot scr...

I can sometimes get on board for a very high hollow grind, but a saber grind with a hollow just doesn’t do anything for me whatsoever. I just don’t like the performance.

You guys keep me honest, but Chicago Knife Works has the Zoomer for $225 w/ new customer signup. https://www.chicagoknifeworks.com/spyderco-zoomer-5-25/ I snagged one just because I’ve always irrationally wanted one and they’ve been at $400 forever Bah. Paid $175 for mine from DLT a little while ba...

I'm stoked that this is coming back for the people who missed out on the first Knifejoy release (or the original Bowie for that matter). I personally really enjoy mine. I have knives ranging in value from $50 - $1,600 and think it faces off very well against other ~$400 - $500 knives in my collectio...

For what it's worth, my Techno 2 from Dack is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. Shipping was much faster than anticipated.

$40 more for the LW than the Maxamet/G10 Sage seems like weird pricing. Pretty sure the G10 model is just on discount everywhere since it's been discontinued. I remember them going for over $260 at retailers earlier this year before they were discontinued. But prices definitely increasing across th...

Suingab does amazing work. https://g10.lt/ I was going to make a post to ask about any personal Suingab experiences. The website photos look fantastic, but with estimates rather than set pricing, ordering via email, international shipping, etc., I just wanted to hear from someone who had ordered fr...

This set was made from some WW2 era, 19040’s U.S. navy black rag phenolic, with an inlay made from a custom pressed rag phenolic consisting of black burlap, double burgundy canvas, and ivory linen (as well as a set of blue anodized hardware from BladeWeLove). :) https://i.imgur.com/8zeKGxl.jpg https...

That’s gotta be the prettiest Native Salt in the land!!!

Scales by Applied Weapons Tech, and blue anodized, titanium hardware by Blades We Love. :D

I took a different route with my MagnaCut Native 5 Salt... https://i.imgur.com/XlHxeM9.jpg These are great. I got the Para 3 LW set and they seem to true everything up. Still crazy light but much more solid if that makes sense. If you can catch the next drop, that would be my choice for the Native ...

I took a different route with my MagnaCut Native 5 Salt... https://i.imgur.com/XlHxeM9.jpg That looks great! I'll likely go the same route in future, but I'm waiting for their hard anodised scales for the time being. I dyed scales before. I'm not against it, but it is not my perference. AWT really ...

RC Bladeworks has been REALLY knocking out some new designs lately! In the past month or so, he's come out with new, inlayed Micarta/G-carta scales for the Delica, the Endura, and the Endela. Well, he just did it again! This time for the Spyderco Chaparral LW! You can have them made with, or without...

So, it looks like he just completed the design for the Chaparral LW! You can get them with, or without an inlay.
