Re: Strongest EDC Steel?

I've looked at different bar graphs, read different articles, and collected knives with different steel. I think CPM S30V, or CPM S35VN are very well rounded steels for the average user. A new one that's in that same neighborhood is Spyderco's CPM SPY27. There are several types that will hold an edg...

Re: The best part of giving away a Spyderco...

I and a few coworkers are known carriers. Sometimes we'll do a pocket dump and check out each others blades. Our lead tech has walked into the lab and caught us in the act every once and a while and it appears he has an interest, but doesn't own or carry a knife. He really took an interest in a frie...

Re: NSFW We lost one of our own today (open at your own risk)

Back in January one of my cats CATapulted off the bench launching both white triangles off the bench. One triangle hit the other and took a chunk right out of the edge in the middle of the triangle. Luckily I can still use them both. When sharpening curved blades I can steer around the missing chunk...

Re: Post a spydie and a gun thread

Someone on one of the S&W forums started a photo thread of "Revolvers And Knives," so I threw this shot together and submitted it. One of my "helpers" was sitting on the windowsill above the glass swatting her tail back and forth. I had to time it right so I didn't get a tail...

Re: Benshot Lil Native Rocks glass

I took my Rocks Glass into work to show it to some of my coworkers. The knife carriers thought it was great and even the non-knife people were impressed by it, too. Whether they imbibed or not everyone thought it was cool and unique.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

I used my new Endura W/Emerson Opener to slice up an apple, and an onion, avocado, and a tomato for a salad. Then, I opened a box of Trader Joe’s Tuna Burgers and the vacuum bagging Inside. I bought this model of Endura to try out as a kitchen knife. I wanted a lower height blade, edge to spine, but...

Re: Benshot Lil Native Rocks glass

I got one yesterday. I find that when I pick it up by the finger choil the edges are a bit sharp. I’m going to break the edges with the Sharp Maker rods.
