Completely unnecessary, in my opinion, if the knife was made correctly. Case in point, Chris Reeve Knives has been successfully making and selling Ti framelocks for three decades without needing to add a steel insert. I was thinking about CRK when I made this thread. Those knives have been used and...

I feel that with the Delica/Endura creeping up in price every year they at the very minimum need a base steel upgrade. VG10 just doesn’t cut it in the $80 and up range in my opinion. I think S45VN or even better SPY27. I think your average user (not steel junkies) care more about sharpen-ability tha...

So...I received my sebenza 31 and I took it apart to remove the lanyard. Upon reassembly I somehow bent one of the washers and now the action is really stiff. I ended up sending it in to CRK for service. Disappointed I didn’t even get to use my knife yet. Definitely not as easy to take apart and put...

This reminded me that I never received hard copy of the catalog like I usually do. I didn't get the last reveal either The sticker in the picture is the same as the one previously sent except as pictured there's more blips. The dimensions are correct so what's actually received is the shorter versi...

... for those not particularly impressed with the color - since it is very light it should be pretty easy to dye to whatever you fancy ... Does rit dye penetrate much into FRN? Just curious if it takes up dye pretty well, or if you'd start seeing teal on peaks and edges with a little use. I would r...

My advice would be to use the Spyderco dealer locator and only order from authorized dealers. This way you know you are getting a legit knife.

I wonder how other steels would look at 40x magnification. I'm not sure what "normal" is supposed to look like. For me personally, I wouldn't be concerned, but everyone has different tolerances. I keep my tool steels coated with EDCi and they have no corrosion, at least at the eye level. I...

Must have not been many.

That’s a shame. I wonder if they found a few that were misplaced.

I use my salt 2 lc200n wharncliffe. I appreciate the light weight and the corrosion resistance.

I just ordered a plain Jane small sebenza 31 in s45vn today. Excited to try out my first CRK. I appreciate that they make a specific version for leftys.

Looks like it is dropping on Wednesday the 28th at 10am central at a price of $400 Ooooofff. I'm going to represent my CRK fanboy side here and say that at that price, if it doesn't have CQI's that have been mentioned throughout this thread...then you guys are missing out on a better opportunity el...

First 20CV and now S90V. Is this going to be the year of the para3 LW?

I am at the point now where I am selling knives that I don’t use. I still look forward to new models or new sprints/exclusives but I have definitely slowed down on my purchases. I know everyone has there own opinion (and there is no wrong opinion) but for me I believe in using my knives, even my spr...

I just saw the post from knifejoy and it looks like it has a regular satin M390 blade instead of the mirror stonewash from the original. Slightly disappointing.

I don't understand why everybody is assuming this is the Slysz Bowie... I don't think you can tell that from the picture. I think the Slysz Bowie is peoples' wishful thinking without much evidence to that fact. Sorry to rain on people's parade. It’s been leaked on Instagram that it is a slysz desig...

I think it has been confirmed now that the Bowie will be M390. I can't wait. I don't think knifejoy will be able to handle all of the traffic.

I have been getting a few queries about the possibility of swapping the scales across from one of the CF scaled Kaparas to the DLT and whether my replacement backspacers will fit as well. I thought I would just give it a go and record some random thoughts along the way. There is also a little compa...

Things I like about the shaman more than the PM2: 1. More ergonomic grip thanks to the rounded edges. 2. Heavier duty tip. 3. Flat spine opposed to the “hump” on the PM2. 4. Fits the pocket better due to the slimmer profile. 5. Most importantly if you like to take your knife apart for maintenance or...

I decided to hold off because of the grey G10. I think the carbon fiber is one of the kapara's best features. I hope if there are any future exclusives, they will decide to keep the carbon fiber.
