Re: Ok, could it be that LC200N fares better against Magnacut than some might think?
I think this is a case of 'all good, just different'. I personally prefer Magnacut to LC200N. I also personally prefer 4v to 3v (which is a reasonably similar comparison). If I had to pick one steel to use for everything forever, out of the commonly available steels on the market right now, it would...

Re: New Discoveries found in 8Cr13MoV testing
I like 14C28N and which we had some knives in it from Spyderco. Everyone dotes on 13C36, but 14C28N is a very much improved version. 14c28n is my favorite budget steel. I haven't bought a budget Spyderco (or Byrd) in a long time. My go-to for that category is Kershaw in 14c28n. The Leek is probably...

Re: NCAA Football 2023
Kalen DeBoer. I'm honestly surprised. I don't think he'd have been my first choice.
Doc Dan, any opinion on the new coach? He's got some very large shoes to step into.

Re: Temu - 33 Layer Damascus VG10 Core
A student of mine gifted me one of their knives a while back. He had won it as a prize in a 3 gun event. I admit I haven't really used it much. I think it's too pretty for me to want to beat on it.

Re: NCAA Football 2023
Lanning has officially announced that he is staying at Oregon.
That brings me back to Lane Kiffin.

Re: MagnaWear Easter Egg?
Higher edge retention...now I'm interested. I've been pretty unimpressed with Magnacut on my CRK. Any idea what CRK's heat treat is like (for magnacut)? I've been quite happy with the magnacut on my BRK Little Creek II and my Bradford Guardian 3. I do not own any CRK magnacut, though. My top priori...

Re: MagnaWear Easter Egg?
My experience with magnacut has been good, but the stainlessness isn't something that's super important to me (which is why my favorite steel has long been 4v/v4e). I'm excited to see Larrin pioneer a non-stainless steel, focusing on wear resistance (and hopefully edge stability?). If that's what th...

Is it true that Dabo's buyout clause says that the buyout is 50% higher if he goes to Alabama?

Re: NCAA Football 2023
So, who is coaching at Alabama next year? The way I see it the top candidate has to be Lane Kiffin (if he wants the job, and assuming his buyout at Ole Miss isn't too much). He's got Alabama history, head coaching experience, has already done his 'new head coach growing pains' somewhere else, and no...

Re: NCAA Football 2023
I'm definitely pulling for Washington. If Michigan wins, it will send a strong 'cheaters always prosper' message. And if the NCAA vacates the win after the fact, that will be an even bigger circus. Georgia's season next year looks brutal. Playing at Texas, at Alabama and at Ole Miss is quite a gaunt...

Re: NCAA Football 2023
To be fair to Florida State, they are playing without _most_ of their starters. Something like 85% of their offensive production opted out of this game. Although, at this point, UGA has 85% of their starters out of the game, and they just keep rolling.' For the record, I still think FSU was robbed, ...

Re: Manix Talk - Full sized VS Mini
I’m confused. Aren’t the knives being compared here a regular size Manix 2 Lightweight and a Manix 2 XL? Yes. > The Manix has open back construction while the Mini does not: One of the differences Vivi points out (open back construction) is not a difference between the standard and XL, but a differ...

Re: Worksharp Belt Sharpeners
I've found some custom 3d print files for guides at different angles. I wonder if you could find one that suits your preferred dps? Or just find someone to adjust one of the existing files for you.

Re: Worksharp Belt Sharpeners
as a less expensive alternative (belts are cheaper too), you could try the one I use. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-in-x-30-in-belt-sander-58359.html With certain sales or coupons they get as low as $40. No edge convexing as they have a hard backing behind the belt. I use it all the time. It's an...
