Re: Reveal 13 Live!

I just like my stuff in black G10 and S30V.
Would like to buy the plain jane Military and my wife liked the microjimbo at the Amsterdam meeting.
Nothing else i'm really stoked about

Re: Why don't you Baton?

The O.P. probably means Machete instead of Manchette. They use this word in French speaking countries. As the Machete (pronounced macheite in most of Africa) is made in Carbon steel i presume he means 1075 carbon steel.

Re: MIT on why razor blades get dull

So particle steel should stay sharper due to their homogenous steel ? What about carbides that break out of the matrix causing fractures that can propagate more fractures? Interesting article

Re: What Knife/Blade for Plastic Stretch Wrap?

Our medical supplies come in large steel mesh carts wrapped in Saran wrap. I use my Dodo to cut these and it works great. The S30V is easy to sharpen on the SM. I like the sturdy blade and the Reverse S draws the wrap into the sweet spot just behind the point. The short blade is also great to open u...

Re: Any love for combo edges?

I used to like to carry CE as a LEO. Gave me the idea that i had the option of cutting different materials better then just one edge. I didn't carry a dedicated rescue knife then because the knife also had to function as a self defense weapon. But the added serration helped me cutting fibrous stuff ...

Anyone heard of the Brazilian Cimo brand

Just saw a post on Reddit with a Spyderco knife. Turned out it says "designed and manufactured by Cimo " but it's clearly a Spyderco copy. They also have a Brazilian website selling clearly Spyderco knives with a different brand. Anyone from Brazil who can shed some light on it? https://ww...

All the pictures you see from Amsterdam are models that are in different stages of (pre)production and will hopefully come out somewhere this year.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Opening cardboard boxes containing a can with a radioactive tracer at work. I had to use my blue Dodo to force the lid off when the pull ring broke off. Not something you want to do or expect from a very expensive custom made radioactive tracer for a patient. I resharpened the Dodo on my sharpmaker ...
